A widely regarded and increasingly rare analog synthesizer, the Synthex (1981-1985), comes from Italian manufacturer Elka and was made famous in part by Jean Michel Jarre. The unique oscillator design and lush filters in this synth pack a distinctly thick and raw sound. As these machines become older finding working units has become increasingly difficult. Now, Synthox 1.5 brings you the very best of this instrument in a convenient and extraordinary sounding soft-synth. Also included in Synthox 1.5 is a deep sampling of the Elka EK-44 (1986). A rare 4- operator FM synth based around Yamaha-s YM2203 chips, the EK-44-s raw digital sound palette makes a brilliant counterpoint to the Synthex and can lead to some truly unique sounds. From thick and sizzling textures to funky analog tones, digital bells and everywhere in- between, Synthox 1.5 is a fantastic instrument for those looking to draw on the classic 80-s sound of Elka. Synthox 1.5 is also available in the Vintage Vault bundle A comprehensive collection of 36 instruments giving you the most important synth, drum and sampler sounds from the last 50 years.
