Analog Synthesizer ELKA 22
The EK-22 is an analog polyphonic programmable synthesizer from Elka. Although the EK-22 is analog, the oscillators are digitally controlled (DCOs) for better stability and programmability. The keyboard can be split and there are 16 performance patches to store any split, tuning and patch settings. There are 64 preset and 32 user sound patches of purely Italian style analog synth sounds.
Oscillators are very programmable with syncing, individual tuning, level and modulations. There are two six-stage envelope generators for total control of dynamics. The EK-22 is a capable synth similar to the Prophet 600 in programmability but more like the Oberheim Matrix 6 in its look and similar push button style programming interface. Not too complicate but its not a "one turn and YOU are there synth" It is a very rare machine hardly, they were not sold much because of a low marketing budget, but for sure very under-estimated.
I find it still one of the best to play, thats maybe because the key's are also sturdy, a bit heavy, they feel touch like a normal key. and give ag reat response by velocity AND aftertouch one of the first synthesizers with a great performance keyboard !! It is a very rare item, and very underestimated in sound and playability
