ELKA SOLIST 505 Italian Vintage Synthesizer

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction

"The Elka Solist 505 is a monophonic lead synthesizer, preset based with variations for added performance.
It provided a nice alternative to the Moog Satellite ARP Pro Soloist.
It has 11 presets, all which could be changed with freq/res, attack/release, vibrato and portamento.
Notably, it contained the famous Moog ladder filter.
Although basic in function – no CV, no MIDI – it could produce some lovely tones, and the keyboard action is very nice indeed – something you’d expect from a renowned Italian organ manufacturer!"

The Keys To Huge Synthesizer Bass [Tonus VCF Demo #4]

Published on Dec 18, 2017 gstormelectro

"Audio and Video by G-Storm Electro c.2017

Today in this demo I show some of the keys to getting huge bass sounds. I’m doing this on the Eurorack, but these ideas should work on most any synthesizer.
#1 Choose a quality low pass filter. I’m using my Tonus VCF module, a clone of the ARP 2600 filter. It’s a 4-pole low pass bass that uses a transistor ladder design similar to Moog.
#2 Cobble together as many oscillators as you can. Here, the Pittsburgh Synth Box wields a Tri, Saw, and Pulse along with a Sub-oscillato. Then I add another saw and square wave from the DNA Symbiotic Waves.
#3 For short basses use a punchy VCA/decay combo like the Bastl Skis. If you’re using a hardware synth, route a single envelope to affect the filter amount AND the amplitude at the same time.
#4 Modulate the filter with negative key tracking so that as you play higher on the keys, the higher notes will have reduced frequency cutoff. To do this I am sending the pitch CV to the signal inverter on my Pittsburgh Toolbox. Remember, a signal inverter just mirrors your signal across zero volts. For example, pitch CV goes from 0v to 5v. If you run that through an inverter, the output goes from 0v to -5v.
#5 Modulate the filter with a small amount of LFO to make your bass sound growl.
#6 Bass pads need a longer/slower Attack-Decay-Release envelope to evolve over time.

Tutorial: Analog Four/Keys Sound Design - 10 features that will make your synth jealous

Published on Dec 18, 2017 loopop

"The Elektron Analog Four MK1, MK2 and Keys have some of the most interesting and powerful features found in an analog synth (and frankly the probably beat some of the digital ones). This video will walk you through their sound design.

Here are the topics covered:

1. The power of sound locks and parameter locks.
2. 4x Multitimbral: the ability to create completely different sounds on each of the voices, and yet simulatinously "steal" voices to play polyphonically.
3. Advanced waveshaping: The "basic' analog wave forms can be taken to new levels with PWM for all waveforms, AM, oscillator sync features and FM synthesis
4. Not content with just one sub oscillator, each of the two oscillators (of each of the four voices) can have one of four sub osc options
5. Plenty of filters: Two analog filters (4 pole low pass ladder filter and a HP/LP/BP/Peak multimode filter) can be assigned to each of the voices. In addition, more filters are available for various fx and the noise oscillator
6. Modulations: A comprehensive mod matrix is available to 2 envelopes and 2 LFOs
7. Dedicated mods - multiple additional envelopes and LFO's are "sprinkled" across the interface to make popular modulations easily available without patching, for example, for features like PWM and vibrato.
8. Onboard FX: Feature rich chorus, delay and reverb are provided with separate sends per track - this greatly reduces the need for external FX.
9. Two additional LFOs are provided just for the effects - enabling pretty radical sound design
10. Expressive control is possible with 10 "Performance" mode knobs and external controllers mappable to up to 10 parameters each."
