    This was the first keyboard I ever purchased... Thought it was just a multi featured keyboard, not knowing that this is a pretty darn nice synth... Still have it, as I am a pack rat. Just turned it on today and all is well, fully functioning... Best thing about this unit, I paid 50 bucks for it.... It is in great shape. Yes, I am looking for the traveler pedal also....
    EDIT.... Not that anyone would care, but, after playing this synth last night, I decided to clean/ dust it off, including the travel lid that is part of this synth's case/chassis... Well, in the lid i found the traveler pedal and cord.. Did not remember that I had it... Plugged it in and works great....

      Jason, I am so busy, my job site is 310 miles from home, I stayed in a hotel most of last year, but, I will try to do just that... It may take a couple of weeks, and thankfully, this job is about wrapped up, and I should be home in about 2 weeks.

    Great demonstration of this instrument with a typical 70's korg sound, thanks above all to the traveler filter. I believe that at minute 5:54 by chorus he means modulation of the pulse width of the square wave

      Yeah. It's a pity we can't do those in virtual form. I don't know if we have the proessing power to do those multichannel engines like the Crumoar Orchestrator, Sequential Circuits Preluide. Yamaha SK series or any of those symphonic/ensemble instruments. If we did, we could make more realistic sounding ones using samples of the real instruments they were imitationg

    Wonderful. I love this time/era of synths. I used to go the synth shops back then as my oasis. This particular one is very useful. Did Greg Hawkes of the Cars have one? Anyway, it sounds awesome. Cheers.

    I had this back in the 90s. I had this on top of my Rhodes. I really liked the sound but had to sell it (along with my Rhodes) to survive tough times at uni. Mine was a little differnt to this though... did not have the "P" designation... was just Polyphonic Ensemble PE1000.... my fav sound was the PIPE organ... I also had the rare footpedal.
    This actually sounds much better than I remember... I'd love to have one again as I think it would sound wonderful through a Strymon...

  • @RegebroRepairs

    Damn, those Poly-Ensembles all sound fantastic, especially the S and P version, but the original as well.

    Thank you for the great video. I picked up a PE 1000 around 10 years ago. Came complete, both traveler and glide pedals included. It’s my favorite vintage synthesizer.

    Did you ever get full sustain? I recently got one of these and am getting some repair done on it. Even on the Presets with no controls, I get about 12 seconds of Sustain and it is tapering off
    GREAT Demo by the way

    So "sustain" is really "release"...?

    • @StephenLearson
      @StephenLearson  5 років тому +1

      Ronald Figura yeah, I guess the terminology wasn’t uniform back in the 70’s. It would way cooler if synth filter sections were all known as “Travelers”
