GEM sprinter 61B quick demo/review

[@calyx93]

Very nice - sounds much better than many other organs of the time. I like that you can combine several tones at once - makes it quite flexible.

Is the year 70s or 80s era?

[@Meska_Statik]

Late 70, but im not shure ;)

hey bro what are you using with that gem keyboard ... its a signal generator ?? cause i have the same on but i dont know what is it 😅

[@Meska_Statik]

If you talk about the Grey 1u rack on the GEM , its an mixer of the brand "ecler" I use it to record the GEM because it doesn't have a volume pot ^^

Hello. I also have a Gem Sprinter 61b. I would like to ask a question about the synth section. My Sprinter 61b, just with the synth section activated, when I press a key or two and hold them down, when a third key is pressed the previous two that remains hold, are retriggered again. Do this happen with your Sprinter 61b? With the organ section, flutes, the behavior is normal and all notes sound independently. Thank you.

I juste power it, to check , yes it des that, i suppose its à limitation of the sample engin

[@JoseGouveiaPereira]

@@Meska_Statik thank you very much for your answer. Well. Not sample engine, because there's no sample here. Just analog synth design. It's not a polyphonic section but a paraphonic instead. It is what it is. It's a matter of habit to play not holding notes, specially with short decay presets.

@@JoseGouveiaPereira thx for specification :)

[@Awagace]

Hi! I have the same question - did you find a solution to this? It's a bit annoying that the keys are re-triggered.

[@JoseGouveiaPereira]

@@Awagace no solution. Sorry. Seems that's the way the circuit was designed...

That’s a surprisingly complex instrument for it’s time!
