"Eminent Solina String Ensemble synthesizer keyboard - pre ARP (RARE series 5). Quintessential for seventies prog OR seventies Disco yet sounds fresh again and SO MUCH BETTER than the samples out there. This string box has been in a climate controlled storage closet for 20 years. I took it out twice to use on sessions and then right back in its case. Although a bit crackly at first move of the levers and when depressing some keys, it soon cleans up with use and works perfectly. This Solina wants to be played! The chorus button transforms you into the 'Dream Weaver." The quirky horn sounds are like no other. Complete with a road case (previous owner may have had this custom made) and expression pedal. The pedal doesn't do much so i have never used it. Serial Number: 224808"

Retro Synthesizer Music -- Saltfjellet ( long version)

Published on Nov 30, 2019 KWILLU

Lots of Korg Trident in this one.

"Here is the long version of the melody Saltfellet. The music was made for the Nordlandsbanen minute by minute. The original made then was only at 2:30 min. Had a very short deadline therefore became very short.
so after several years I decided to make long versions.

The Nordlandsbanen minute by minute is a television program that was first broadcast on NRK2 on Saturday, December 29, 2012. The program was watched by over one million and was considered a great success for NRK. [1]

The program lasts for 9 hours and 50 minutes and follows the day train from Trondheim to Bodø minute by minute through four seasons. This is unlike the minute by minute Hurtigruten not a direct broadcast, but in return, a total of 4 recordings - one for each season. During the broadcast, the various recordings are alternated, so you can see the whole stretch how it was in the different seasons.

The reason for the program being produced is that it is 50 years since the Nordlandsbanen was completed until Bodø."

Eminent 310 Unique and Roland VP-03 string-ensemble comparison

Published on Nov 12, 2016 Per Kristian Risvik

"Just a quick test to see if the VP-03 is up for some classic phased pads with an Electro Harmonix Small Stone phaser.

I didn't push the mini-jack plug all the way into the socket on the VP-03, the chorus gets a bit more wobbly when the stereo channels are combined to mono."

"Near Mint (9.5/10) ARP/Eminent SE-IV (SE1) String Ensemble for sale. Works perfectly. Full Polyphony (divide down). Has been heard on countless recordings from 1974-now. This unit is in the best condition I have seen/owned over 30 years - this was the unit I kept for my own collection, but, due to moving, I have to let all my keyboards go... It would be tough to find one close to this condition again."

"It has a unique, bit less reverb-y ensemble modulation compared the model 2's, which means it's drier, with more bite, more manageable in the mix and performs better through effects pedals, AMAZING through a phaser...."
