Never liked the sound of the Synthex. After listening to this video my mind has changed. Hats off to this great sounding machine (and to the person who programmed it).
Surprisingly the Modal electronics 008 can duplicate its sounds...it takes a bit of programming, but you can get it to a lot of those bass and pad sounds.
this is nice thing but 008 is still expensive and delicate (i know it has some working problem) at the moment. Anyway Modal is a beautiful synth for sure.
@@maydaygoingdown5602 NO !!! Synthex is 8 voice polyphonic (just first problem for the MatrixBrute)...but MatrixBrute can do other sounds that Synthex can't do.
@@hayeye Thanks for the reply and info my friend. I sure do wish I could own a Synthex but they are crazy money now. You are very lucky to have such a beautiful synthesizer in the Elka Synthex. Just wish I had the spare Beer tokens to get a second hand one...Sigh!!
tutti i synth producono una marea di suoni e ce ne sono in circolazione una moltitudine che hanno caratteristiche decisamente superiori a questo. Il timbro, come sempre, va a gusti però il Synthex è davvero uno strumento dal suono meraviglioso.
Awesome synth i just discovered, very versatile! You blowed my mind at 07:34 with that Kraftwerk electro(bass) Kick/Snare... patch!!! I'd have never imagined or found it was the same sound :| One told me you can produce this what i call "laser?" sound with pretty much any synth (Substractive or FM at less i think). I use Ableton/vst (Analog, minimoog, jupiter, monopoly, polysix, prophet, TAL free), wich one do you think would be the more "analogic" one for this sound?
David Boura hi David, thanks. You can do that sound with most of subtractive synths. Just use the noise and the resonance on the filter. You need to tracking the filter on keyboard and envelope the filter too (sustain to zero and short decay). You can try with MiniV or Maybe JupiterV. There is a virtual Synthex By Xils Lab too.
Default Corporation I just found this, not sure about the "quality" of the result, but at least i have it : watch?v=E-elbeQJ0jI#t=19 I will compare with your explanation, and learn a lot from both, thanks for your help!
Chris T in a way yeah but unlike the cs80 the synthexs have very high end metallic sound almost like an fm or wave table synths the cs80 have more present mid range but there is some comparison for sure. Both synths are very unique and have there own character.
Wow no velocity either... Elka sure did improve on that. Have an Elka MK76 controller and it has poly AT. Sure wish the manufactures would bring it back and improve the midi standard as talked about. Thanks... really nice sounding synth.
The vel and AT as well as release velocity etc, IS the interface of expression associated with time. You need to keep things in perspective... the Korg Kronos is just one example of a keyboard that uses and relies on key velocity in many ways with more added connected to a good poly AT controller like the VAX77. The keyboard input needs to emulate the expression of the instruments it emulates... and that requires velocity control and Poly AT with Release Velocity going far beyond on and off. Even low cost keyboards that don't have AT have key velocity and no synth/sampler keyboard is made without it today for a reason. However that is not to take away from the excellent expression expressed here by the Elka Synthex with Default Corp in control.... Things change and sometimes get held back as is the case with Poly AT and the hardware of the music instrument industry as a whole relative to other areas of tech growth. Good guitars and violins are hand made... by good craftsmen not assembly lines. The problem is once Poly AT done right is implemented again (from late 70's when there was little to use it with) and let out of the bag everyone from beginners to experts will demand it because just being able to add additional headroom available individually on any note being played is such a natural extension of expression people will use it without much thought... but notice when it's missing. And that means no more dirt cheap keyboard electronics will be accepted. And IMO that's not wanted and a silent understanding between manufactures has kept Poly AT out of even the best synths... and that's insane. Music is Old School... with old growth habits... but look at new tech electronics and the growth of miniature RC aircraft and you see how progress can and should move forward... my burglar alarm lets me fly around following humming birds... we're short on bad guys around here but you never know when one might go rabid;-). The music industry is far behind making possible innovations as seeing Poly AT still being left out shows. But that won't last long... the VAX77 tech has improved and lives on... as it should in the hobby sector.
hi, Thank's for you like to my patches and request. Sorry but at moment I have realy no time to create the audio file with my patches. Hope in future I can do it and share. Regards
Thank you for your return. I hope that you will have time one day in order to enjoy and play with your wonderfull presets. I let you my mail : dreamunivers@msn.com. Merry christmas and happy new year 2014
She's an Elka and she's looking good....I'd like to take her home with me, it's understood...
For me the best polyphonic synth ever. I love it
Probabile… 😉

GREAT ! this instrument sounds soo good!
I am hearing some imagination and depth of programming here that goes beyond the norm. Kudos.
fantastic! and even the samples you were doing were soooo good. so italo discooo
+Olivia P thanks...i'm italian ;)
Amazing sounds bro! its really wonderful!
+Metal Eros thanks!!!!
Excellent demo. This is how all synth demos should be. Great synth.
thanks
Amazing 'otherworldly' sounds, thanks for sharing
That bandpass filter is so useful
i sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo want one
Never liked the sound of the Synthex. After listening to this video my mind has changed. Hats off to this great sounding machine (and to the person who programmed it).
thanks Ramon. Was funny programming it. It is a easy synth to manage by panel....no menù and sub menù...
fantastic sounds!
Beautiful. It reminds me of the Jupiter 8 for moments though.
love this!
ammazza se suona ciccio il synthex... mi ricorda tanto anche la mia gioventu' :DDD
io l'ho avuto in vecchiaia...anche "illo" è vecchiotto ma tiene botta.
great programming

@@maydaygoingdown5602 Yuo are welcome. I had two Synthex...sold all two. Now are for collectors only instruments.
Bello e produce una marea di suoni, sarebbe perfetto per le mie 3 tastiere

incredible tone to the elka...lets hope they re-issue to 100% of the original..
fiddlestickz muzik nope
What is the baud rate on the cassette interface for saving patches?
Is it Kansas City standard modulation, or something unique to the Synthex?
Awesome synth i just discovered, very versatile!

Sounds great, want one! I hope the reissue is true to this sound!
Matthew Anderson nope
cool patches.
3.31 is why im gonna buy this synth soon
So creamy and squidgy. The best
7:45
Couldn't you have used the sequencer to make that bassline? Then you'd have another hand free for melodies.
...e si, suona :) Ciao Gianni
What song is that from at around 0:35 ? Swear I've heard that before
Kraftwerk the model
@@hayeye oooooooooooh yaaa thank you! Awesome demo btw made me want a synthex
Awesome!
thank you
sounds a heck of a lot like a CS 80
Chris T in a way yeah but unlike the cs80 the synthexs have very high end metallic sound almost like an fm or wave table synths the cs80 have more present mid range but there is some comparison for sure. Both synths are very unique and have there own character.
thank you, I love the sound Id buy one if I had the cash in an instant, one of the best synth demos on RUclips!
@@todorv.todorov5055 I reckon the Autria Matrixbrute has overtaken them both.
Excellent... did the Synthex have poly AT? Can't find the specs on it.
thanks. No velocity and no aftertouch (channel or poly)
Wow no velocity either... Elka sure did improve on that. Have an Elka MK76 controller and it has poly AT. Sure wish the manufactures would bring it back and improve the midi standard as talked about. Thanks... really nice sounding synth.
John F Hendry the interface is more important than vel or AT. nobody cares about what elka produced except for the SYNTHEX!!!

Please, could you share those 40 patches setting ? I have also a Synthex and I would to have the same preset than you. In advance thank you

hi, sorry but i've sold my Synthex in july 2014.
4:37.... wow.
martin gore has one.
nikki visser he needs to start USING it.
nikki visser instead of those crappy vsts
Device Factor i cannot blame their recent albums on that. They need ALAN WILDER.
she's a model ..........i always play enola gay
@2:24 sounds familiar
Wonderfull instrument
