FARFISA SYNTORCHESTRA String Machine 1975 | HD DEMO

I played the Farfisa Syntorchestra along with a Korg SDD-3000 delay and Lexicon MPX-500 for reverbs.

The Farfisa (Stereo) Syntorchestra is an Italian keyboard. Basically it's a simple monophonic (preset) synthesizer combined with a polyphonic section. These two sections can be also combined and slightly detuned (intervals are also possible) to sound like a 2-VCO monophonic synth. It is simple, and it sounds great - especially with a delay effect! You can tweak the parameters in the synth section a bit (envelope, LFO, VCF cutoff, resonance switch). It has single outputs for the polyphonic and monophonic section.

The Syntorchestra has a typical ARP design. It was used by Klaus Schulze on his album Moondawn, by Ash Ra (Ashra Tempel) and Vangelis.

It produces sounds, which you don't get from other synths. It sounds really vintage, like classic electronic music from the seventies!"
