[@lonthaniel]

Love your channel! Curious to know if you (or anyone in comments) have tried much with the filter input on one of these. Thoughts?

[@vintageaudioinstitue]

@@lonthaniel fantastic - you just need to make sure the input volume and “sensitivity” volume is well balanced

[@DarkSideofSynth]

Che meraviglia

[@andygriffith5160]

Fantastic stuff. I wouldn't know whete to find one of these, let alone two! Where do you get all this obscure gear?

[@vintageaudioinstitue]

It falls into my lap :)

[@xinjoy6236]

what’s your opinion about the farfisa soundmaker? there is so many synths and many italian synths in that era..

[@jackpinestyley]

There's an original advertisement for the soundmaker that says it's a digital synthesizer. Does anyone happen to know what's digital about it?

[@gilwe]

Probably nothing. Maybe they were referring to the controls or presets. I doubt it's anything digital :/

[@marcbrasse747]

At the time digital was the new buzzword. There are however a lot of synthesizers and organs from the period which use some form of digital clocking to keep the tuning of otherwise analog oscillators stable. So maybe there still is some truth in it.

[@marcbrasse747]

It has a rather buzzing, uncivilized character. In that respect the original Syntorchestra sounds a lot warmer. But never underestimate the flexibility of a well designed paraphonic. With a bit of nifty programming and a bunch of good effects it can still do well. 😁
