"The new standalone patchable synth from Doepfer, called Dark Energy. It will be shown at Frankfurt Musikmesse for the first time next week. Dark Energy is built into a rugged black metal case with wooden side plates. High quality potentiometers with metal shafts are used and each potentiometer is fixed to the case (no wobbly shafts and knobs). The distance between the controls is a bit wider compared to A-100 modules and knobs with vintage look are used. LINK"

Hohner Roland String Vox Arp String Ensemble

"Vintage Hohner International String Vox Machine

String Section has Ensemble which is a chorus like effect just like the Arp String Ensemble. Strings sound eeriely like the Arp String Ensemble as well as a full, deep, rich, fat, lush sound. Also has harpsichord and electric piano sounds, but the real beauty is the classic vintage lush analog strings.

Steve Nieve used this with Elvis Costello and the Attractions a few years ago on tour.

Also reminiscent of Gary newman's 'Down in the Park " sound"

The auction links to this direct sample on Vintage Vibe. I normally do not like linking to direct samples on other sites, but I couldn't find it and posts must go on. Do check out Vintage Vibe. They repair vintage electronic keyboards including Wurlitzer, Rhodes, Honher and the like. I found their YouTube channel and will posting the synth-centric stuff shortly.
