Elka EK 22



via this auction

"The ELKA EK22 was released in 1986 as one of the last synthesizer models from the ELKA synthesizer factory, and for that also one of the last Italian analogs, ending a great legacy that included the mighty Elka Synthex. What we have here is the usual 6 voice analog 2 oscillator synth with some exotic modulation, sync routings and multi stage envelope generators. Not quite an Oberheim Matrix 6 in its synth modulation capabilities but coming close and on some fronts even superior. A broad range of sounds is possible and its all there; haunting strings, eerie pads, deep monophonic portamento moog basses and leads, fine harps, metallic stuff, low-end brass etc. All with a very good character, tight and compact...a good punch but also enough warmth..Actually this synth sounds pretty darn excellent! I am pretty sure its got faster envelopes then a Matrix 6 and also sounds less gritty/grainy/plasticy. Its an often overlooked synthesizer, proberly not many were built and programming goes with the typical 80ies numerical interface. It also comes with a Rom cartridge containing an extra 89 preset sounds."

"Which is the right hand?
Works best with extra loud systems sets that can handle mastred prime youtube codeishes that most extra loudness systems cant handle otherwise, thank you.
Seeing if Matrixsynth picks this up because it is kind of cool, and he rarely features RS7000 (the coolest groove production synth ever by Yamaha no less!)
I tell you turn it up extra extra loud and then sum! This is the RS FNshiteola!
Youtube sonic synthesizer special!
Not really but have fun anyway with your hundred grand system and youtube.
