"An absolute hidden gem from Vintage Italian Synths.

Only 100 were made...

Collector's Item.

This is in almost mint conditions.

Perfectly working. FULLY SERVICED.

Cosmetically just with some signs and rust due to its age...

It has its own unique sonic character.

Could be compared to something between the Siel Orchestra 2 and the Crumar Multiman...

But filter sounds more creamy and lush then the others.

It has 6 sections :

- Strings (Cello,Violin,Percussion, with a "solo" switch for the lead lines)

- Reeds (Accordion, Organ, Musette)

- Brass (Trombone, Trumpet, with its own controls for Attack and Filter Cutoff)

- Piano (Piano, Honky tonk)

- Effects (with VCF/VCA Mute and Vibrato/LFO)

- Attack and Sustain

Effects and Attack/Sustain are switchable for each section.

You can also mix different sections and voices pressing both bottons to create new sounds and textures.

A cool feature:

It has its own built in speakers! (resampling from it adds extra character and magic to the already awesome sound)"





Update: new pics added.
