"Today I have a special vintage synthesizer that you don't see everyday...the mighty ELKA SYNTHEX!

This Elka Synthex demo video is for Matt Fiske from Sensorium Studios.

-Installed the Tauntek Firmware Upgrade (check out www.tauntek.com for more details)
-Replaced all electrolytic capacitors on cards
-Full Calibration/Tuning
-Installed new Volume Pot, Mono/Stereo Switch
The Elka Synthex is a legendary polyphonic analog synthesizer produced by the Italian music instrument manufacturer Elka from 1981 to 1985. It's considered a classic synth and is highly sought-after by musicians and collectors today.
The Synthex was conceived and developed by independent Italian designer Mario Maggi. Maggi gained the financial backing of Elka, a company known for its organs, to produce the synthesizer. Elka manufactured the Synthex from 1981 to 1985, with a total of 1,850 units produced. The Synthex was known for its lush sound, 8-voice polyphony, and extensive modulation capabilities. It featured 30 knobs, 6 sliders, 80 switches, and a joystick for sound shaping. The Synthex gained popularity among musicians and was used in various genres, including synth-pop, new wave, and electronic music. It's associated with artists like Jean-Michel Jarre and Depeche Mode."

One of my favorite tracks from the early 80s.
Everybody's Got to Learn Sometimes by The Korgis from the album Dumb Waiters (1980)
Written and performed by James Warren
Featured the Logan String Melody 2 analog string machine (1979) and the Yamaha Reface CP e-piano
This cover song series contains my own recreations of my favourite songs from the last 50 years. The original music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I recreate tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these tracks.
My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers."

Rare Sakata DPM-48 drum machine 8 bit digital - MikeSynth
video upload by Mikus Pilatus
"The very interesting Sakata DPM-48 (also branded as Hammond)
A bit frustrating to program and you can’t change patterns on the fly - which is a buzz kill.
Shame , as the sound of it is like a Drumulator , but better."
