Testing out Factory patch 90 on the curious little Orla DSE-24 FM synth module shortly after revival...

This rather unusual little module is basically a 24-voice FM 4-OP synth based on Yamaha FM Tone Generator chips fed into a genuine Solina style triple analog chorus ensemble generator.  This somewhat weird combination allows Solina style strings to be generated with ease as well as a load of other timbres perhaps not so often associated with FM synthesis... naturally, with the chorus switched off, it does all the usual bells and bass timbres too.

Probably the closest in terms of sonic palette is the KORG DS-8 but the bolted on FX are analog in the case of the Orla.

D.A.Wilson is an Electronic Engineer, Sound Designer & Vintage Synth Specialist with a particular interest in combining vintage tube, classic analog and modern digital technologies working as a synth engineer looking after a very considerable amount of vintage studio equipment for Will Gregory (Goldfrapp / Moog Ensemble) and a number of other internationally celebrated electronic musicians and producers.  Having undertaken several major restorations and produced custom electronic designs for a number of major artists including Jean-Michel Jarre, Dani is also known for fully restoring two out of the world's four remaining 1979 Crumar GDS and partially restoring 1938 Novachord 346 (the only known operational Novachord in the UK) to playable order along with developing and producing the new Elfin family of 8-bit polysynths and the popular MIDI Front Panel Animator (FPA), Filter Defeat Module (FDM) and XD-280 Drive Emulator upgrades for the AKAI S612 sampler.
