@synthmans: I noticed this comment just today, talk about being late ;-) However, isn't E70 basically E50 and then something more (second oscillator/layer available in the synthesizer section)? This recording is made with stock E50, with internal reverb tweaked to the max, to obtain chorus in connection with vibrato ;-) Pads are actualy AFAIK "flute" preset layered with organ section on lower manual. E70 should do this all easily, and sound even better :)

A Morze Tak, A Może Nie ( Banana Boat remix)

Running through some of the multitude of excellent sound patches a 1982 Octave-Plateau Voyetra 8 awakens during major repairs at Hideaway Studio.  This relatively rare 16 VCO 8 Voice analog polysynth was the first rackmounted polyphonic synth and is absolutely crammed full of electronics!!

A little 1987 1U rackmount Orla DSE-24 (actually a rebranded Böhm 12/24) doing a remarkably effective Eminent 301U / Solina String emulation.

This rather unusual synth module consists of up to 24 voices worth of 4OP sine only FM synthesis (using a Yamaha YM2203 FM synth chip per 3-voices) directly routed to a genuine discrete triple BBD based analog chorus generator very similar to that found in the Solina/Eminent/ARP string synths.

This highly unusual combination of synth technologies helps to present classic FM in a rather different light!

Amazingly these synths were originally sold in kit form by the German company, Böhm.

Böhm were better known as primarily an organ manufacturer in the 1980s.

1987 Orla DSE-24 (aka Böhm 12/24) doing Eminent/Solina Strings!

Having a play with my first 4-layer patch programmed into a 1987 Bohm Dynamic 4x9 during overhaul at Hideaway Studio.

The Dynamic 4x9 was basically the big brother version of the Böhm 12-24 / Orla DSE-24 featuring the same FM based synthesis fed into a genuine Solina style analog BBD based triple ensemble generator but also included a BBD based phaser and individual audio outputs. The FM section featured a whapping 12 YM2203 triple FM generator chips allowing 4 layered channels of 9 voice polyphony or up to 36 voices.

Unlike the 1U versions (which used the same FM chips) the 4x9 permits front panel patch editing using a rather more user friendly method with an LCD screen and data value controls.

1987 Böhm Dynamic 4x9: Layer Test

The beast is 80 years old this year!.. 

A new montage of short improvised test recordings recorded live in 2012 from 1938 Hammond Novachord No,346 which was partially restored in 2009 to working order by vintage synth specialist D.A.Wilson in the UK. It is very rare to hear a direct modern recording (non-acoustic through delay/reverb directly from the generator chassis)of one of these instruments in action as less than 50 remain in known working order.

The Novachord is generally accepted to be world's first commercial all electronic polyphonic instrument featuring dynamics control and specifically designed to emulate timbres beyond those of an organ such as strings, harpsichord and piano.

See more on this extremely rare beast at www.novachord.co.uk

1938 Novachord #346: Montage 2012

A quick live improv with a newly created evolving patch on a 1987 Böhm Dynamic 12/24 recently overhauled and upgraded to 24-voice.

The 12/24 is an unusual combination of classic 4-OP FM fed into a lovely on-board triple BBD based analog ensemble generator...
