This French Analog Synth Was Lightyears Ahead


video upload by HAINBACH

"Wiggling your fingers on a keyboard for vibrato is something many a musician does intuitively, alas with little effect. For decades this important way to make an instrument sing has seemingly been relegated to modulation and pitch wheels, with few exceptions in the recent years. This makes for a rather indirect play style, lacking the natural expression of bending a string. It is little known that already in the year 1939 in a sanatorium in France, the inventor Georges Jenny created an instrument that would allow vibrato on a keyboard directly. This is the story and sound of the Ondioline, an instrument I love so much I recorded an entire album with it.
