That's a Technation Sonavista machine. It's just a Falcon030 in a black case sold as an OEM machine. Sonavista is a graphics light show much like Jeff Minter's light synthesizers (EX: Trip-a-tron on the Atari 8-bits, (I forgot what the ST version was called), and the Virtual Light Machine on the Atari Jaguar). What made Sonavista different was that it responded to audio (via microphone input on the Falcon) AND MIDI input. It could also control MIDI lighting, stage props, fog machines, etc. via MIDI. With these features, the Falcon was the only machine out there (even today!) that has audio and MIDI input and output built in. That's why the Falcon was chosen. It was a pretty interesting program. (I used to know the developer) It was mainly sold to nightclubs and such.
