"The Lambda ES50 is a vintage poly-ensemble type synthesizer with slightly editable Preset orchestral sounds. It is divided into two sections: The Percussion set includes Preset pianos, clavis and harmonics; The Ensemble section has Presets for brass, strings, organ and choruses. Filter and envelope controls affect the different instruments individually. The Lambda has 96 discrete envelopes and VCAs - two for each key - a very unusual design. You can mix a Percussive sounds with an Ensemble sound and get a layered effect. There are also vibrato and chorus effects.
The Percussion group and Ensemble group each have their own separate outputs which is nice. A joystick is provided left of the keyboard for simultaneous control of pitch bends and chorus phase speed. The joy stick is broken so it is a little shorter but still work fine.The String sounds are the nicest sounds this synth can create. With three oscillators you can vary and detune them enough to get a nice layered analog string. Piano and Brass sounds are pretty cheesy. The Lambda is cased in a great big wooden case that gives it that authentically vintage status."
