Elka-X First Review - "The sounds in this thing are immense"

Robin Vincent from Molten Music and Gearnews is first in with a review of the new Elka-X synthesizer and asks, "Has the Elka-X captured the lush tones and multiple layers of this polyphonic legend?"

"I wasn’t really prepared for how this sounds. I’ve been listening to Synthex demos and trying to get a sense of a synth which I admit I’ve never played. And the sounds are really interesting. There’s a thickness, a movement, a solid wall of sound that builds into a very intense synthesizer experience, and that’s exactly what you get when you plunge yourself into the Elka-X."

"Going through the presets is like adventuring through a synthesizer paradise. The original Synthex came with 40; here, we have over 500, and they are magnificent. There’s so much going on in some of these presets that you feel like a prog-rock superstar one minute and a Wendy Carlos synth orchestra the next. The sound is immense."

"There’s nothing that doesn’t make sense. And thankfully, Cherry Audio has resisted changing the dual layer nature of the synth or adding anything that looks out of place."
