"The Siel Orchestra 2 was released in Italy in 1983. It has 4 preset sounds with many sliders and edit parameters. The Brass section has a great filter with cutoff and resonance sliders. 5-band graphic EQ, LFO, Octave Transposition and "Animator" section with beautiful analog flanger."
There are a handful of scuffs and scratches here and there as well as some dust and grime. The unit functions, however there are a handful of issues with some of the parameter knobs/faders being very scratchy—especially the volume fader. This unit will benefit from an overall tune up/clean to get it to function at 100 percent.
All items in The Official Tycho Reverb Shop ship fully insured with delivery confirmation and a signed and embossed Certificate Of Authenticity from Scott Hansen."
"Fantastic sounding analog synthesizer. The big brother of the Siel EX-80 desktop module, with 12 voices instead of 8 voices and its bitimbric! Great Collectors Piece; with Original Box in great shape, impossible to find this complete."
"SIEL DK-80 rare vintage keyboard synthesizer, produced in Italy in 1985.
It's a cool analog synth with digital controls. It is also bi-timbral with a split keyboard mode giving you 2 polysynths in one keyboard! 2x six point envelope generators, 2x 24 dB/octave low pass VCFs, 2 LFOs, 12 voices - 2 DCO's (sine, sqr, tri), 1 pink noise generator.
Another great feature is a 2-track realtime sequencer, MIDI In/Out/Thru and a NICE built in Chorus."
"First you think it has 4 basic sounds but it is the 80s so the piano is of course does not sound like a piano at all, and the others also very very diferent what you expect but the result is surprisingly great, you simply do not want to stop playing!
The equalizer is a real plus! It can change the sound of every patches and it is a really hands on modification tool."
Comes with the TAUNTEK mod installed on it (it enables CC midi controlling and many other features..i ll provide also the Maxforlive/Reaktor devices to control it in any Daw)
New Battery installed.
This Expander Ex600 combined with another SielOpera6 or DK600 let you expand voices from 6 to 12 simultaneously, keyboard splitting and layering and much more."
"Rare, Siel Expander Synthesizer, actually New In Box! Never opened since 1980s, it is still stapled shut from the factory. Be the 1st to open and work this great analog wonder."
From the listing "The last one sold on Reverb was 4 years ago." Not sure about that. You can see a few posted here. Remember, you can search for any synth + auction here on MATRIXSYNTH to bring up previous listings.
"Also sold as the ARP Quartet this keyboard offers 4 parts: Brass / Strings / Reed / Piano
Nice moogish filter on the brass part and the strings sounds are not too bad either. They do use the same TCA350 BBD chipsets as other classic string machines like the Eminent Solina, Logan String Melody or Crumar Performer."
"Quick video of a SIEL Orchestra I just serviced, in order to demonstrate the differents sounds you can get out of this instrument.

I use a sustain, pedal as some point, mainly on the piano part.
Recorded dry and no treatment."
"Great vintage analog synthesizer that is in decent shape for its age. Everything is fully functional. As it sits, some of the sliders are a little scratchy when slid but can be exercised and freed from dust very easily. There a few that are slightly bent but does not affect functionality. There is one minor scratch on the face plate, not too noticeable and can only be seen under the right lighting. Tried to capture, see photo.
These are getting more rare. They have a great built in chorus, flange and useful eq.
The Brass section alone is worth it. Calling all collectors this is the only one on sale (online) at the moment."
