Episode 121 of "That Synth Show" ‪@behringer‬ CLONES THE ICONIC ITALIAN SYNTHESIZERS THE ELKA SYNTHEX:
www.vintagesynth.com/elka/synthex :
"The Synthex is a very lush sounding classic analog 8 voice synthesizer. Later versions implemented basic MIDI functions. It has 30 knobs, 6 sliders, 80 switches and a joystick. Powerful sounds with 2 oscillators per note, separate envelope generators, chorus and even a sequencer! The use of stable DCO's (digitally controlled analog oscillators) and oscillator cross modulation of Pulse Width and a multimode filter made it unique in its time."

    I love this because I can get this but I hate that I'm running out of space....
  • @alex_darsen
    When I saw the announcement, I thought I would need a bigger house because space in the small bedroom that serves as my studio is about at the limit, but then I realized getting taller keyboard stands would be much cheaper.
  • @VIRALBEATS360
    The Elka Synthex is one of my favorite synthesizers of all time. If they pull this off, I will be purchasing my first Behringer synthesizer
  • I’ve been waiting longer than Methuselah for their Linndrum I ain’t getting excited for anything this far out anymore
  • @ByronHadley1
    Samurai good, Samurai fine. Samurai talkin' 'bout synths all da time! I'm totally with you on this one Brother Samurai. I'm counting the days until I can get my hands on the LM Drum and one of these. I personally saw an original Synthex sell on Reverb a year or so ago for $10,000 (was the same person I bought my first Andromeda from, actually).
  • @CaptainProton1
    the soft synth version of this synth didn't do it justice, looking forward to this one.
  • It was Elka's answer to the Prophet 5. Put it in unison mode and test for oscillator pop.
  • @smartti1970
    i saw one in my favourite shop in Geneva 25 years ago, as new for 2000.- the chorus on board is fantastic listen at 3mn56 without chorus and 4mn03 with chorus ! (arguably costed more than a behrger) congrats on the prononciation of JMJ ... that american accent is cool ... ouch gosh that sound ! ... gotta love Paulo synthmania !!!!!!!!! 80's gems by him
  • @HarmonicSonics.
    Whoaaa that sounds insane. I don't know a lot about this synth. I'll check out the front panel parameter knobs to get an 💡.
  • @jumpingman8160
    This and the Polykobol (and with any luck a Matrix 12). That's where the piggy bank wants to go
  • it has the 80's sound like nothing else. with the Lynn drum, it will be insane .
  • This sounds flippin gorgeous! ❤❣️❤❣️❤ I am definitely losing the GAS war 😂 but at least it's Behringer so hopefully I can save up and actually afford it! Thank you Samurai, and thank you too Uli for reincarnating this beauty. 💖
  • Using FPGAs for the DCOs is a great plan. I'd be damn interested in this one.
  • I want a reissued Synthex, but in blister pack format (like the Pro VS Mini)
  • @incaroads001
    I got the cherry audio version of this right away when it came out. And if this synth sounds like that vst does, and if it's even approaching a reasonable price, I will sell basically every synth that I have to get one.
  • @HarmonicSonics.
    You pronounced jmj's name correctly. " Zhahn meeshelle zharr " Cross mod training pack! Cha

    I've noticed that all of Behringer's new reincarnations are following a pattern. all poly reincarnations with 49-keys have 8 voices. all poly reincarnations with 61-keys have 16 voices. Looks like the Synthex has 61-keys, so I'm guessing there's going to be 16 voices. (You could also start counting the chips on those boards and see if there's an even number of either 16 or 32 chips that would tell you right away)
