"Up for sale is the mighty Elka Synthex polyphonic analog synthesizer. This is a gigantic eight-voice synth from the early eighties with a great user interface design, an unbelievable sound and lots of possibilities. With it’s heavy-weight keyboard (better than a e.g. Jupiter 8, OB-X) it’s a real joy to play. Aside from that it’s built like a tank.
Like other big polyphonic synthesizers it has standard features like 2 DCO’s, 2 LFO’s, 3 mode chorus, etc. But there are also some very unique specials on board:
✰ A multimode filter (HP, LP, BP 1&2)✰ LFO routing to VCF, VCA, PW 1&2, OSC A&B, OSC B ring mod & sync
✰ Super versatile Joystick (can be combined with DCO, VCF, LFO2, etc.)
✰ Mono/Stereo mode (panned-detuning)
✰ An internal Sequencer (transpondable, note-length, step & realtime)
✰ 40 factory presets, 40 re-writetable patches
✰ Glide / Portamento can be set independet on e.g. just OSC B
✰ A splitable keyboard and many other cool things!
About 1600 were built by Elka and this one was probably
built in 1983.
The Synthex is in superb shape, very clean in & outside and has factory Midi installed.
Only the wooden side panels are new high quality custom made.
They are made with walnut and look much better than the original side panels.
The unit is fully checked and serviced."
