via synthorama"hi this is a photo of an elka synthex i just bought. it is a very special one. it is the prototype with no elka logo, no computer interface or midi (this section at the back is not there not even the graphics, no holes in the wood for the leg attachments and it has a mix output next to the on/off switch. also it is a bit different inside for example the boards have only one led not two on each board and the eproms have stickers that say 25-8-82. i had another synthex which i sold and this one sounds better. its more fat sounding and the bp1 and bp2 filters do much more than the previous i had. you do get much more than a fizzzzzz. also on the filter when you do a sweep you can hear at some point the filter like scaling , like you can here the individual clicks you similar to the oberheim 4voice filter. i talked to a tech who has seen a lot of synthex and he told me he had never come across anything like that in a synthex. he told me maybe it has to do with my software ! being very early and has something different to do with the filters. this one was made as a prototype by mario maggi for maestro Mazza(Gianni Mazza) a very famous italian composer who i think did a lot of work for italian channel RAI."
