the answer I had was...

from 1939

featuring the Novachord, "an electronic musical instrument often considered the world's first commercial polyphonic synthesizer. All-electronic, incorporating many circuit and control elements found in modern synthesizers, and using subtractive synthesis to generate tones"

Osamu Kitajima - Taiyo The Sun

from 1974's Benzaiten LP - they augment the drum machine with "real" percussion. The credits mention it as being an Ace Tone Rhythm Machine, but not the model number, so I'll just post a picture of the MK 1
