"This keyboard was used in the highly rated Epic/Portrait - 80's recording Band The major Thinkers Featuring Pierce Turner (owner)(BMG recording artist) larry Kirwan (Black 47) The joy stick is missing-but the base of it still works/ one key has been mended and works fine. There is an innofensive small sticker on the woodwork from a performance, easily removed. (see images)."
"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. 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 proveded left of the keyboard for simultaneous control of pitch bends and chorus phase speed.
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. ,mThe Lambda is cased in a great wooden case that gives it that authentically vintage status."
