You can find a demo of a previous one here.

"Quite rare italian polyphonic keyboard with 4 sounds: cello, violin, piano and harpsichord.
Very simple design and yet very nice sounding. Check the demo I made.
You can mute evey section with its dedicated switch and you have control over individual volumes, as well as "sustain" for the string presets and "decay" for the keyboard presets.
Inside there is of course a BBD based chorus, using classic TCA350Y chipsets, like many famous string synth: Eminent Solina, Logan/Hohner String Melody, Elka Rhapsody etc
Like on the Elka Rhapsody it's only a double chorus, not a triple one, so string sound is not as lush as on the Solina or Logan. But these strings sounds very nice, better IMO then the Elka.
Check the video I made with a similar unit.
There are also seperate outputs for both sections. I also added a dry output (without the ensemble effect) for the string section so you could use external ensemble effect like the Wersi Wersivoice or any fx.
And furthermore the instrument is quite compact and leightweight (13.5 kilos) for a string synth, which makes a great live performer."
