Here's an interesting bit of organ synth history; a Galanti Clipper 61. Presets include Organ, Flute, Horn, and Strings. There is a "Drum 6" rhythm section along with separate Bass accompaniment. There have only been three previous posts on the site featuring Galanti. One for an INSTAPIANO, one for an instaStrings, and a mention on the end of General Music. See that post for some history and the other brands affiliated with Galanti, including GEM, LEM and ELKA. The name Galanti actually comes from founder Antonio Galanti. A new Generalmusic incorporating the three brands was announced back in January of 2015. I believe the now canceled ELKA Synthex remake was to be the first product under the new brand. Their website is still live. Anyway, the Galanti Clipper 61 is an interesting piece of this history. The following is the description from the listing:
"Galanti Clipper 61. Organ combo made in Italia in the early 70 '.
Section bass / organ / percussion and vibrato and a drum machine. Keys slats, 61 keys polyphony (and yeah clipper 61!)
UTILIZATION
This model includes two independent volumes:
The first controls the base function, the second organ sound, but acts as a balance between the organ and the bass.
Changes are managed by dominoes front, 3 for low, 4 for the organ.
Fixed vibrato, percussion, complete with a bonus effect wah!
Rhythm section includes a volume knob, one for speed, and a series of different rhythms ...
SOUNDS
The sound is great, between the synth and organ.
This is the famous 'cheezy sound' analog well as love.
Touch is also very nice, with afterfacts 'click' with the touch!
The bass is very powerful and hot, the organ sounds really marry perfectly to any type of effects: chorus / phaser / flanger / overdrive / self-wah...une graphic equalizer pedal allows you to control the sounds and adjust certain frequencies.
Moreover it is incorporated seamlessly into a mix by adding this small button 'cheezy' vintage!"
