"Rare little Italian beauty, The Solist 505. The Elka Solist 505 was a monophonic lead synthesizer, preset based with variations for added performance. It provided a nice alternative to the Moog Satellite ARP Pro Soloist. It had 11 presets, all which could be changed with freq/res, attack/release, vibrato and portamento. Notably, it contained the famous Moog ladder filter.
A feature of the Soloist 505 is that it has the famous Moog Ladder Filter onboard. Manufacturers installed the components to make the Ladder Filter before Moog Music imposed a patent on it's use in non Moog instruments."
"Excellent condition EMS Synthi AKS Analog Synthesizer. Includes KS keyboard, keyboard cable, and power cable. Includes all matrix pins.
The EMS Synthi AKS is a legendary instrument with an illustrious history. First manufactured in 1972 by EMS in Putney, southwest London, the Synthi A was basically a portable version of EMS's famous VCS3 synthesizer, and the KS keyboard (an unplayable thirty-note touchplate) was added to make the Synthi AKS."

"Today, we're excited to share Alexander Rubenstein's inspiring creation titled "How the most basic patch ever saved my recording session." Alexander's innovative and alluring performance began with a modest patch that had the power to spark a symphony of synth sounds.
At its core, Alexander's composition started with a single oscillator patch, a testament to the concept that sometimes, simple is better. As if by serendipity, this 1-osc patch in the background of the studio one night unlocked a world of creativity, paving the way for arpeggios, a thunderous 3-oscillator bass, solo, and lead sounds that transformed into an astonishing and immense song. 🎶"
