The Elka Synthex is Back - New Release of the Legendary Synthesizer Expected this Year

In case you missed it, see this post first: Generalmusic's GEM, Elka & LEM Brands to Make a Comeback in 2015.

It looks like the ELKA Synthex will be first.  The following are some pics and details via bringelkaback.com.  The second pic with the buildings and cars is the Elka factory according to the site.  I'm curious if we will see the Synthex at this year's Musikmesse.


"IN 2015, WE WANT TO BRING BACK THE LEGENDARY ELKA SYNTHEX SYNTHESISER. IF YOU LOVE THE ELKA AND WANT TO SEE IT MAKE A COMEBACK, SIGN UP AND BE A PART OF SOMETHING EXCITING.

THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT ARE TOO GOOD TO BE FORGOTTEN – AND THE ELKA SYNTHEX IS ONE OF THEM. BE A PART OF ITS RETURN THIS YEAR.

THE ELKA SYNTHEX AND ITS UNMISTAKABLE SOUND ARE LOVED AND USED BY SOME OF THE GREATEST MUSICIANS OF THE 20TH CENTURY. BE A PART OF ITS RETURN THIS YEAR.

THE ELKA SYNTHEX SYNTHESISERS WILL BE MADE WITH SELECTED ORIGINAL VINTAGE PARTS IN SALO, FINLAND. AND NOW YOU CAN BE A PART OF ITS RETURN."

Analog Rytm + Keys LIVE = Dataline Cuckoo 7:8

Published on Apr 20, 2014 cuckoomusic .·137 videos

"Playing together with Dataline for the first time, in a series of improvised performances during Musikmesse 2014, using only the Analog Keys and the brand new Analog Rytm. This is a great opportunity to listen to, and see the Analog Rytm in action!

And for me personally, this was a sacred moment. Playing with Dataline just made so much sense!

This is part 7 out of 8 videos.

It'll take a little bit of time to edit them all, but I'll definitely be able to post at least one every week. Only on the cuckoo channel ;-)"
