Incredible... The kinda voice tone is sublime and the strings are so lush... Why does this beauties only belongs to past? I can't believe that people prefer hear some plastic sounding reface or boutique things... Why don't we produce things like this anymore?
I wanna say the cost of parts and labor. Alot of circuitry is involved in these vintage synths. I'm actually trying to build an analog synth of my own based on the same circuitry as the older models like Logan String Melody, RS 202, Omni, and so on. And I've got to say, Ive spent a pretty penny on parts any many hours on wiring, and soldering components. So it seems like companys wanna keep the cost cheap to build the shitty digital garbage they have today.
@drumn incolor I agree with you. Even the new analogue VCO synths don't capture the same energy of the classic synths. I've recently found a new appreciation for these classic synths as the sounds they produce are the sounds I grew up hearing in television and movie scores as well as pop and underground music
Bring back the good old days,bring back Ensemble Keyboards! Too many button-pushes needed to get these sounds on modern synths. (I love Kronos, Viscount OB-12 , but if all you want is great string - brass - choir ) ...
+MoogKorgfan Yes, it's bizarre that, still, not a single company's making them - all the other analog classic styles now covered, and plenty of demand there as can be seen from the inflatable prices on all seller sites,.
yes, it is! The string sound alone is better on the Solina String-Ensemble. But the Soundmaker is rather a multikeyboard with more possibilities... Like on the Farfisa Polychrome, the best things are layers of sounds.
If I had the space for a third organ, I would go for a Farfisa Pergamon... but instead, I have to "content myself" with my two huge Technicses (G5 and U90)!
Hello! Your sounds are absolutely fantastic, especially the voice tone. Can you give the sliders and switches position for the voice tone? I can't see them on the video. thank you!
at the position at 7:47 looks like one of the keys played by *Jonzun Crew* on "Pac Jam" performance for Formel Eins german tv show (1983). There is showed Minimoog and Korg PS900 also
Sehr gute Demo, vielen Dank! Sieht auch sehr schön aus mit dem 'ausgeschnittenen' Instrument - darf man fragen, welches Programm benutzt wurde, um die Maske zu erstellen und das Video zu bearbeiten? Ich bin auf der Suche nach einem kreativen Video-Bearbeitungs-Programm Auch von mir einen guten Rutsch! :]
you call this an "album"? This sounds like horrible stuff played by an absolute beginner with zero talent. Best example for the fact, that owning a good synthesizer will not necessarily turn you into a good artist
Wow. has anyone got one for sale?. I'll have a crane and a lowloder ready just in case. Never knew this existed until now. I love it, reminds me a bit like a JP8 in looks, but sounds like an ARP. Wonderful. Did I mention I liked it?.
Damm can i sample your instrument? I felt in love with the sound of this instrument. it would fit amazingly in my project if not what other machine has this dreamy sound
@@AnalogAudio1 thanks a lot for your answer. before that, I found one at 2h drive in working condition. I didn’t go further and called the person then bought it after seeing your demo. Then I read you sold yours as another farfisa would do almost the same but in a compact instrument -forget which one. I was like « You are too impulsive ». so now I feel better 😉 I was interested in the ARP Solina string synthetizer, looking to have a string machine combined with monosynth. Farfisa soundmacker do this for much cheaper it seems. And more.. I have an ARP Omni 1 to repair. maybe I should find a tech to recap and change condensators of the FSM and other things.I don’t know. One thing : some say it’s not the best strings. I found in your vid geat rich strings. IDK if you know and like François de Roubaix but this Farfisa when you play it at a certain time, sounds like him. If you don’t, have a listen to this soundtrack genius by the right door. His string synth are quite unique and this farifisa have « that » sound. beautiful.
Does anyone happen to know how the 'poly & strings in mono' mode work? it sounds like it might send the poly and string circuit into the mono's vcf and vca but all I get is the adsr triggering and white noise going through the vcf and vca.
Have a feeling they track a lot of these down and then pay to demo them for youtube hits??? I don't know that but it'd make sense rather than having an insane synth depository of everything that's ever been made
😨😨😰😰😱😱🥶🥶🥶 I just... I just don’t know what to say, I’m shivering from all this richness! (Somebody please save me from sampling this dude, I’m so so tempted)
@s00per Farfisa Syntorchestra for sure (but super rare like the Soundmaker unforunately). I've come close to that 'Theremin/female voice' sound using a Yamaha SK-30's mono section as well.
the only one thing they have in common is, that both have a string ensemble and a monophonic section. Sound and possibilities are completely different. The Syntorchestra is very simple.
