Just a little bit of reverb and delay on some patches...nothing else! the Elka sounds unique as you can hear..and not only these models..check also the Ek44, the Rhapsody 610, Twin, ecc...they are incredible machines..no vst around can emulate perfectly its sound behavior cheers A
Hey mate thank you...happy to let you discover this wonder! No custom patches...only factories and somes from the extra rom card..but i don t remember which one was😅
Bello strumento e belle demo, molto musicali, complimenti. l'Italia ai tempi d'oro di Elka, Crumar, Farfisa e compagnia non era seconda a nessuno in quanto a produzione di strumenti elettronici.
Ti ringrazio molto! 😊🙏 Sono pienamente d'accordo...erano e sono delle macchine che non hanno nulla da invidiare ai piu blasonati marchi...e suonano meno "prevedibili"...
An outstanding keyboard! Just...Is it really analogue? Visually it looks like digital synth, and sounds are similar to some digital synths I used to play...
It is wonderfully Analog! CEM filters...BBD chorus like juno 6...but it has a unique and different flavour...6 voices 2 DCOs check what the great Legowelt says about this synth: legowelt.org/647-2/
Thanks to you! yes it is a very rare hidden gem from vintage italian synths arsenal! a real unique weapon for magic lushing sounds.. It has also a desktop module called EM22...it s the same but without keyboard... Its FM brother also is very interesting..the EK44
thank you mate! it is kinda similar to the Matrix..but beetween the Elka and the Matrix i prefer absolutely the EK22...pads sounds are amazing! yes Tauntek should be create a new firmware..it would be fantastic..but despite this it s really easy to create a patch on it..despite other analog synths with no hands on tweaking of that period...
@@Napalbe Do you have the Matrix 1000 or the 6/6R? Because I have all 3 variants and the 6/6R sounds more deeper, richer than the 1000. There is one EK22 that I could buy, but the lack of MIDI and slow parameter movement is a deal breaker at the moment.
i had the 6..yes it sounded deeper then 1000..i compare it with one of my friend...but still prefer the EK22 for its unheard sound! yes..the midi unfortunately its a little bit not optimized...similar to the crumar bit one..but for me it s not a particular problem
@@Napalbe I see. I have also a Crumar, but the BIT 99 with the newest firmware, MIDI is good and sounds amazing. I saw today your ebay offer for this synth. Good luck. ;)
Di nulla. Buona serata. Abbiamo comunque Dexibel, Fatar/Studio Logic, IK Multimedia, oltre, ovviamente, a Fazioli per i pianoforti e Mezzabarba e Mark Bass per ampli. Il comparto synth e organi langue però.@@Napalbe
Can you do Elka-ek 44?
I normally dont like the sound of vintag synths, but those sounds are outer worldly!
Yeah mate...you said well..italian machines like this one are from an outer world...
Curtis Chips. Similar to the Oberheim Matrix 6 and Kawai K3. I owned one in the 90s. The EK 44, too. It needs a Controller or Programmer.
Bellissimo.. ho l'ek 44 ma non ha il display retroilluminato come il tuo! E' originale o l'hai sostituito?
Ciao! bello anche l ek44..
si il display retroilluminato l ho sostituito..quello originale é invisibile😅
Have you connected the keyboard to external sound effects, or can these sounds be obtained thanks to the internal settings?

Like many others, I saw this synth for the first time in this video. Unique and nice sounds. Are these factory presets or did you design them?

Yeah Mate! the Elka Ek22 is another hidden gem from the amazing Italian vintage synths treasure...❤

A stunning synth...even when it's angry, it's mellow!
Totally agree Claire...it sounds magical..🎇

It has also a desktop module called EM22...it s the same but without keyboard...
Its FM brother also is very interesting..the EK44
Wonderful ! Have an EM 22 and EM 44 in my Studio 😊 Factory Patches ?
Great mate! EM/EK's family it s a very special sounding family to grow up with it...yes i made this demo with the factory patches!
Amazing synth sounds!!!
Amazing playing! I love the melancholic, warm sound of this beauty. I hope one day they produce a new firmware for this -> instant buy.

@@Napalbe and nice playing as well 🎹
thanks a lot Nicolas! you too..really nice channel yours..and very nice playing you too!😊🙏
@@Napalbe appreciated Alberto :)
Complimenti! Anche io possiedo questo strumento. Elka, Crumar, Korg. A mio parere i numeri uno......
Ti Ringrazio Stefano!
assolutamente..tutte tastiere fatte nelle Marche..che non hanno nulla da invidiare ai marchi piu famosi..anzi..suonano uniche!
7:10 Superb!
Molto bello anche il tappeto ahah! Suoni spaziale di questo synth!! wow! Really great playing as well!
ahahah...grazie Powlo! a magic carpet for magical synths..to flight with them 😅🙏🧞♂️
Another beauty!!!!
😊🙏
Suoni veramente molto belli! Si possono acquistare? (ho preso da poco l'expander EM22 ma va riprogrammato)
Ciao!
si questa macchina e il suo modulo expander suonano davvero bene!
dovrei vedere se riesco ad esportare i sysex...
Hai sostituito la batteria della memoria?
Che meraviglia! Ormai non ci resta che celebrare il passato :( Anche se qualche eccellenza regna ancora sovrana.
Veramente! 🙃
grazieee 🙏🖤

Some really cool patches!!!!!!!!!
🙏😊🎹
I'm sure this synth is on the mind of Behringer.
I believe that too... 😅
@Alberto Napolioni Hey, I'll buy it if they come out with it.
One can only hope..
Yes. Uli try to save the vintage World. All icones are gone, akai, Emu, alesis, ensoniq, kawaii, etc
bei suoni ma sopra tutto un grande gusto musicale
Grazie mille Giovanni! 😊🙏
Superb 💗💗👌😍
