synth_nyc 24bit 96kHz synthesizer custom patches demos and continuous audio playback
via synth_nyc
"synth_nyc has launched a new website where visitors can experience 24bit 96kHz synthesizers demos of custom patches, with continuous audio playback while navigating on the site.
This could be the first site to offer such user experience.
FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec)
The audio content on the Internet is usually using lossy audio codecs (AAC, Vorbis, etc…) with about 100Kb/s, and may not necessarily showcase the full sonic quality of the synthesizers we are getting today. synth_nyc site is featuring a lossless audio codec; FLAC.
You will be getting 3Mb/s audio streams.
How does it work? The principle is simple, audio demos masters (24bit 96kHz PCM / WAV) are FLAC compressed (encoded) on the web server; and decompressed (decoded) ‘real-time’ by your Internet browser client while streamed. There is also a network of web servers distributed worldwide so the content is always close to your location.
Continuous Audio Playback
The principle is simple also: as soon as you press Play on any page on the site, a ’sticky’ player will also show-up on the page footer
Then you can, if you want navigate to another page.
And the track will continue playing with no disruption.
You may also - at any moment - click the 4 horizontal bars on the sticky player to display the track list / playlist currently selected"

This appears to be the first post to feature one. You can find additional string machines by Elex in previous posts here.

"Extremely rare italian string machine, built by Elex (ELettronica EXcelsior), also sold by Hohner at some point.
Very close in sound to the Crumar Performer or Elka Rhapsody.
It offers Strings and Brass section, with independent volume for each instruments, a very nice filter in the brass section, as well as vibrato, and the string section has long crescendo and sustain settings.
Unit was serviced and is in very good working order except for the attack in the Brass section that doesn't work. This synth use a very rare SSM2050 chipset as the enveloppe generator on the brass section. This is the same chip used in the Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 and the RSF Kobol for instance. It simply can't be found anywhere. But if you are lucky to own one you can most probably fix the attack on the brass section ;-) Apart from that everything is working. Capacitor in the power supply were replaced and synth was calibrated. It uses the typical "ensemble" effect based on a triple BBD chorus, with the same TCA350 chipsets you have in the Eminent Solina, Crumar Performer, Logan String Melody and so many more classic string synths.
Cosmetic wise the synth is in good condition, especially considering the rather cheap build quality. But of course it has some scuffs here and there."
