Portamento whammy bar?
"Up for grabs is an ultra-rare Farfisa Syntorchestra analog synth from 1975. Powers up (needs a good 10-15 minutes to warm up), all keys are working. Poli (polyphonic) section works OK and I have used it on several recordings. Very organic sounding. As for the mono section, only 4 of the 8 presets work and it doesn't stay in tune with the poly section, which is rock solid. After doing some research, it appears the scale tracking needs adjustment. Vibrato works well on both sections. I don't think it needs much to get to 100%..."
Yes, unusual feature
ReplyDeleteIf you push this large bar while playing, it activates portamento, it goes up by itself thanks to springs, so, it's really a temporary portamento command
Another unusual portamento is on kawai 100f, it has 3 different modes (don't remember exactly, but it was kind of starting the filter enveloppe when you push the note, or when portamento has reached the played note, never seen it elsewhere)
