Oscar Levant was to live another fifteen years, addicted and repeatedly hospitalized, fitfully active in radio and television, writing The Memoirs Of An Amnesiac and The Unimportance of Being Oscar, increasingly reclusive, and passing away in Beverly Hills on 14 August 1972.

 LIFE OF OSCAR   (Site not responding. Last check: )

But OScar's real selling point was not that it came with factory presets (although that was fairly rare for a monosynth), but that you could also store your own sounds.
The original OSCar only allowed 12 user sounds (plus 24 waveforms and 24 sequences) to be stored, but people were delighted to get even that facility on a monosynth, since these traditionally didn't come with memories at all.
