ABOUT Quite close to Oberheim design, made by EEH, it was distributed by a quite well known Discounter/Shop in Bonn (at that time), first without MIDI, later (1985) MIDI-Retrofit Kit was offered.
EEH wasn't also the manufacturer of the Synthanorma Sequencer (Klaus Schulze, Kraftwerk, ..) built only a few sequencers. For the Banana there was also something in the pipeline (Coconut), it never was released or really built.

ABOUT Optisch erinnert der Banana dem Oberheim OB-Xa-Design (X-Serie). Der Hersteller EEH der über einen bekannten damaligen Händler in Bonn Vertrieben wurde, konkurrierte damit gegen den SCI Prophet 5 und natürlich auch Oberheim. Ab 1985 gab es auch MIDI Nachrüstung für den Banana. EEH ist nicht Hersteller des Sequencers Synthanorma, von dem es nur wenige Exemplare gab (Klaus Schulze, Kraftwerk, ..), ein Sequencer für den Banana war auch geplant.
