Arp Solina String Ensemble - demo

YouTube via hamsterdunce aka Dave of umop.

Update via DVDBorn in the comments:
"Correction: The Solina doesn't have 16 voices as is said in the video. It has full polyphony. It uses a divide down circuit to give each key it's own voice. It's the same technology that was used in organs and the Korg PS-series."

Post Images and Site Update

I don't know what the deal is, but the images in my posts are now huge. I'm doing the same thing I always do. Let me know if you like them big or would rather have me try going back tot he smaller images with more room for text on the sides.

Also I changed the number of posts that come up on the front page to 40 from three days worth. To get to the next 40 just click on "Older Posts" on the bottom of the page. I'm trying to alleviate some perf issues people are reporting, and 40 should be plenty.

JoMoX SunSyn

via this auction. As always, read the comment if you think of bidding.

You don't see these often. Anyone know how many were made to date?

Some details:
"We did not reinvent the wheel, but actually the complexity of this 8-voice true analog multitimbral synthesizer hasn't been there yet. The term "8-fold storable modular system" would describe this unit in a much better fashion, and exactly this is the SunSyn. Each voice is an ownstanding monophonic complex synthesizer.

The very special idea of the SunSyn is the unique mixture between

analog VCOs and digital waveforms

analog x-pole filters with morphing

analog envelopes with digital LFOs and an

analog routing matrix, which only takes 50% of the hardware space on each voice card.

Means, the best of all worlds."

MOOG Multimoog

Title link takes you to shots via this auction. I decided to go with the close up of the pitch ribbon controller for the post so you can get an idea of the material used. There are close-ups of each section in the flickr set and the action.

"It has 44 keys and features 2 oscillators, ribbon controller, variable waveforms, flexible sample & hold, LFO, aftertouch ( for pitch, VCF, or LFO rate) , and a fabulous sounding 24 dB Moog filter. This item has been cleaned , calibrated, and restored with Kenton MIDI."
