VAI 34 Wersimatic II / Farfisa Syntorchestra
video upload by Vintage Audio Institute Italia
"Analog auto-accompaniment machine produced by the German organ manufacturer Wersi sometime in the mid-70s. Originally part of a big, dual manual organ called Helios, this auto-comp section was probably removed from the organ and squeezed into a Teak cabinet, crammed with circuit boards, all beautifully snug inside - a very good job by whoever built it.
You control the harmony and key with the black 12 buttons on the front replacing the one octave that was probably at the bottom 12 keys of the organ.
The Wersimatic II has sections on board: Bass
Drum machine
Various chord sounds
Melody played on the Farfisa Syntorchestra String machine and Mono synth.
Big thanks to Organfairy who helped us find the right schematics to repair it.
Vintage Audio Institute Italia is a gear vendor and recording studio in the hills of Florence."
