- A track I recorded a while ago with sounds entirely from the Elka Synthex synthesiser other than drums which are from a Roland V-Synth. Hopefully a showcase of the type of great sounds the Synthex can provide.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the positive comments.
JMPSynth Oh My God... I could be listening to this for hours.
Still the best synthesizer made.
I come here to listen to this quite often. The sounds are a wonderful demo of the power, and this tune is very cool
1m23 sound is out of this ffff world
Ah yes, the famous Synthex band-pass sound that JMJ used so much on Rendezvous. An amazing preset. Cheers.
Since i heard this track for the first time 5 years ago, i have the same great pleasure to listen it. Fantastic sounds.
Thx
Why thank you. :)
Hey thanks for all your comments.
This is the most beautiful synth I have ever heard. I used to think the P5 was the best but this one takes the gold!!
Those sweeping pads are transcendent!
Transportant envoûtant le son est très spatial à la fois très présent et léger bourré de clarté
Beautiful
great
these synth strings are the best
Gets better every day
One of my favorites of all time.
amazing... thanks for the upload!
OMG I love this thing!!! the strings are INCREDIBLE and even the simple arp is fantastic
Very nice synth. It sounds great!
Notice how this synth produces no listening fatigue. It never sounds canned unlike the newer analog polys.
You make the music I love listening to.
Sweet bass lines, great tunes and patches.
Thanks ! Glad you enjoy.
My fav synth. best synth ever. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks. It 'is' the best vintage synth imo but now very expensive....
What a machine. I toyed with it at a friend's house back in 1998, so warm and powerful
Why i love synths.
Love this!
I really like this music!
After all these years I still revisit this amazing track, it always be a classic, never be forgotten amazing work, you've done so well with this amazing synthesiser.
Thank you ! It was a simple demo at the time that took very little time to record. Sometimes that's the way it goes.... helped cos. the Synthex sounds so good. Long gone now though....
Nothing left to say…..magnifique
GREAT SONG MAN
GREAT WORK
I LOVE...I CRY TOO HUGS
This is so old school sounding I totally love it 😍😍😍
Excellent Demo, with classic great analog sounds, I like the construction of it. Thanks
it has a high quality sound - one of the greatest polyphonic analog synths, in the same league like Roland Jupiter-8, Memorymoog, Prophet-5, Oberheim Xpander and Yamaha CS-80. Great demo!
good to see other Synthexes alive and rocking! :-)
Fantastic
This is just amazing. Love the strings.
The Synthex sound reminds me of the Access Virus.
i have never heard a better sounding synth demo....now where can i rob a bank to buy a synthex,, :)
This is wonderful music you have created with a wonderful instrument. I like these sounds very much. But you give them the spirit and the space with your arrangement. Thank you very much!
great sound ..great demo!
Beautiful Synt !!!!
Beautiful Track !!!!!!!
Love it! So vintage sounding yet modern :)
pure synth power, ultimate phatness
This is probably the best synth track on CZcams
Nice of you to say, cheers.
It still is
Great sound and very nice track!
Very beautiful tune
beautiful synthesizer
Beautiful. Especially those massive swishy pad sounds. Amazing. :)
F A T and gorgeous.
Thanks. Yes they are more rare. I sold my JP8 when I got the Synthex as found it better sounding, fatter and with much more variation of sound due to the band pass filters. If only it had the arp and unison of the Jup it would be perfect... !
Nice work!
What can I say! outstanding sound!
sounds incredible!
just thought I'd say that I really like the music.
#@!
Cool tune!
This is THE synth to sell a kidney for!
Wow. Such a rich sound.
had never heard of this synth until 5 mins ago and its a cracking sounding piece of kit... i take it these are rarer than jp8s and emulator II's as never seen one for sale... nice demo by teh way with some lush sounding pads and choruses
Wow you have a lot of nice 'toys' thanks for the jp6 demo.. its the best one I could find.. I'm quickly finding myself priced out of this market but managed to get a jup6 w europa for 1200 recently. Love the synthex though, would take it over just about anything including the jupiter 8.
I dont know what it is about X Might be the real X factor. But all the synths I really love have X somewhere in the name. THE DX7s, THE OBXa, the JX8p and this gorgeous sounding synth the SynthEX. Lovely stuff
Oh.My.God. Those pads!!!!!!!!!! Felt Like flying!
and now, Cherry Audio released the Synthex as a VST... im so excited to try that one. Hopefully the closest to the real deal (without selling a kidney)
I very beautiful composition and very well played, I would love one of these synthesisers, this instrument was probably the best and last great synths ever built, shame it came along just too late, as these beast are getting very rare now (2015)
+Derek Revell Korg Minilogue? Arturia Matrixbrute? There's a Behringer synth coming up in the future too, other companies are sure to follow. :3
Back in 2005 they went for around £1,600 - £2,000. One sold this year for £3,700 but in a country where availability was likely extremely scarce. Will depend also on condition and version (re MIDI inclusion).
Excellent je suis fan, merci !!!!!
Great composition mate👍🍻
Thanks !
Could u please tell us what the notes of the sequence in the beginning is? I would love to play around with this!
Timecop1983: Yes! I would like to know that too!!
Pleaeaease!!!

epic, gorgeous, transporting, glorious, unearthly,
out of this world,
fantasmagorical sounds and achievment!!! :)
Excellent tune and demonstration of this analog beast ! ! !
5***** ; )
what a beautiful synthesizer, what an amazing sound. Listening to this I really dont think I use mine as much as I should. What a great demo of it.
Your quite right, I remember selling synths in the 80's just to afford a 'DX' synth. It produced piano (particularly EP's) and organ sounds amongst others that analogue synths of the time couldn't do so well... Can't quite believe it now, it started a spate of menu driven programmed and membrane switch synths too. I should have hoarded up Jupiter 8's etc. at that time as they were dirt cheap for a good while... Whilst still a good synth, I sold my Jupiter 8 when I got the Synthex.
great track and does demo the synth really well. the pads are huge!
@JarreYuri The Elka Synthex and numerous Oberheim synthesizers used the CEM3320 filter chip, so it's not surprising that the same filter would be emulated in the OB12.
amazing sounds (and great track btw!)
...I meant great demo; its probably THE sound I loved in Jarre Michel Jarre's music.
Jean Michel Jarre used Elka Synthex to make the famous Laser Harp sound
fantastic demo track!!!! great instrument!!! for me the best........
Un des meilleur synthe jamais réalisé, assuremment
I just love this demo song You've done.
I think I have listened to it about 40 times, not taking into account all the times I have replayed it in my head. hahaha
I am so in love with that slow attack brass that comes in toward the bridge and into the verse. So full of power and comes from full stereo to almost mono.
Just powerful!
I managed to reprogram that bandpass filter sweep famous sound from this synth on an Oberheim OB 12 (Viscount). I got pretty close! hehe
Cheers to You!
nice and fat sounds, excellent track!
Wish I have it for a day for Sampling :)
Thanks ! The pad at 1.25 is a preset sound also used by JMJ on his Rendezvous album. This sound makes great use of the band pass filter(s) the Synthex features.
The pad at 2.25 is one of my own. :)
I'm sure you'll love your Synthex when it arrives and will never want to part with it.
Great demo and fantastic synth! 5*
Thanks for posting!
I like the firsts syhthésizers because the filters are very beautifull, they are a strong into the sounds......
Thanks, just reverb and a bit of delay on some sounds from memory.
Ta very much.
Hi, all the sounds on this track came from the Elka Synthex hardware synth. Don't know how the software synth compares...
well keep the demos coming mate as it is great for 80s dudes like myself to go back in time lol....
only have a DX7, ( hardware)
arp 2600, minimoog, modular moog, JP8 ( software) to play around with for the minute...but its great fun :)
One of my favorite synths, just wish I owned one !!! : )
Great tune by the way . . .
The background band pass filter pad is a single patch from the Synthex (a preset actually as used by JMJ on Rendezvous) but there is another pad played separately on top in the track.
It's a preset sound in the Synthex created by synth programer Paul Wiffen. JMJ used it in his Rendezvous album.
concur with walterclosette. The passage at 1.25 fascinates me because it sounds both minor and major at the same time. Never heard that done before.
The Elka Synthex is one of the best synthesizers EVER. I just hope there will be a Synthex VSTi plug-in someday.
not only does this showcase the Synthex, it is a great track. the sound at 1m24 is nothing short of majestic
Make Elka Great Again.
@JMPSynth In 1987 I picked up a Minimmog for $200 (which I still have to this day). I was actually going to buy a Yamaha CS-80 from the guy for that $200 but he sold it just before I got there, then said, "you know, I don't really need this Minimoog anymore..." Those were the good old days.
This music gives me such "Blade Runner" or Yamaha CS-80 vibes. I have a friend that collects vintage synths. He owns a CS-80, but I've been on him to get a Synthex also.
Good decision, he won't be disappointed.
Giorgio Moroder reminiscent, Very nice, and very nice synth
Awesome - I very much would like to own a Syntex :-)
один из самых крутых синтезов всех времён,жаль его не оценили,звуки просто потрясающие,нет аналогов.
Yep, some added from the mixer.
WOw!!!!
Nice sounds.
I do like that typical Synthex sound from 1m28 onwards.
You wouldn't be selling it? Nah!
I sold my Trident MkII and still cry.
Great track. You captured the feeling of an age with it.
Put your stuff via CDBaby or some such outlet.
Man , I've never heard such deep and warm bass ... and it's a YT video, so the sound is even better without compression !! Could you publish a link to a flac flie please ?
Hi, go to Soundclick and search for JMP70. The track is listed under 'Synthex Sound' . Think this is still an MP3 though.
quando l'Italia era l'Italia,e non gli zimbelli del mondo intero...
Frozen Autumn uses one of these! No wonder they do
Absolutely great!
Are you using any external effect?
Cheers ! From memory, just reverb from the mixer. The sounds are otherwise as they sound from the synth.
@hiasficango
Agreed!....
Now that You mention that CEM3320 chip.... I have 3 of them here on my desk waiting for a synth project. hehe ;)
0:18 CASSETTE INTERFACE !!!!
Awesome! :)
