Another from Pinkus. The Solton SM100. This was a 12 DCO polysynth. More info at Synth Museum. Title link takes you to a bigger picture. I've never heard one before. I didn't realize Solton made full blown synths like this. In Pinkus' opinion this is one of the top 5 synths ever made. I've never heard one. It's interesting, when I think of Solton I think of auto-accompaniment systems. The color scheme completely reminds me of a Korg Poly 61. The resemblence is uncanny. I wonder if one influenced the design of the other.
Update: Some comments from Pinkus
"this and the keyboard version is the only analog they
made...it has dcos but 18 ssm chips! same ones in p5...it has a knob
thats labeled "brilliance" that is...should i say brilliant? it pushed
the filters hard and definitely goes to 11...the lowest setting makes
the sound significantly different from the highest...nothing like
resonance though...simply briliant
