"The SIEL Orchestra 2 is a vintage analog polyphonic synthesizer produced by the Italian company SIEL between 1983 and 1986. An improved version of the original Orchestra, this model offers greater flexibility and sound control, making it a highly sought-after piece for musicians and collectors.

Main Features:

Sound Sections: The synth is divided into four main sections:

Brass: Includes trumpet and trombone sounds with independent attack and sustain controls.

Strings: Features cello and violin sounds with independent attack and sustain controls.

Reed: Adds accordion and musette sounds, expanding the timbral possibilities over the previous model.

Piano: Provides traditional piano, honky-tonk, and harpsichord sounds.

Polyphony: Full 49-note polyphony, allowing for complex chords without limitations.

Additional Controls: The Orchestra 2 introduces several improvements over its predecessor:

An enhanced filter for the brass section with cutoff and resonance controls.

A 5-band graphic equalizer for fine-tuning the sound.

A simple LFO to add modulation effects.

Octave transpose function.

An 'Animator' effect, acting as a flanger to enrich the overall sound."
