Description

Streichfett combines the best of the now extinct species of String Synthesizers of the 70s and early 80s. Its dual sound engine features a fully polyphonic strings section and a monophonic solo section, which is essential for recreating how adult movies sounded thirty years ago. The Ensemble Effect handles lubrication of the String Section, while the Effects section adds adjustable Phaser or Reverb. Alternatively, the Effect section can be used to animate the strings registration, allowing spectacular sound morphs.

The Solo Section offset presets named Bass, E-Piano or Clavi, and just like in your typical string machine, the sound has little to do with that name. Instead, these are shimmering and slightly percussive sounds that blend well with the string section.

Although the User Interface is simple and easy to comprehend, it controls a rather complex sound engine which is capable to delivers rich and creamy pads unlike any other instrument.

Twelve patches can be stored and selected in the Memory section, USB and MIDI are of course on board.

I am a bassist and use this box to complement our covers with synth pads (Pink Floyd, U2, ...). This synth is very accessible (except the name!). The big advantage for me lies in the fact that, playing only one note on the PK-5a pedalboard, the result is extraordinary and amazes everyone with the 2 parts and independent parameters and global effects and especially the "Ensemble" function which adds its thickness. You really get the impression that there is a dedicated musician with several keyboards! With 12 memories, there is enough to vary the sounds live. And all that for €300. So we train 5 minutes to pronounce its name and run to buy it!

Excellent string synth with a very retro and distinctive sound. Perfect when it comes to stepping off the beaten path of electro, it's not just for reproducing Jean-Michel Jarre or an 80's porn movie soundtrack :D I mainly use it for black metal and chiptune music. It is compact, easy to handle, and comes with its editing software and a power adapter. The only small downside: some sounds are a bit louder than others. Received via Chronopost premium delivery, the order was handled and shipped with care and speed.

An excellent value for money. Enough to rediscover (or almost) the sound of some vintage strings without breaking the bank.
