Almost unbelievable! These are the most beautiful sounding synths I have ever heard. So incredibly rich and sonorous in timbre and tone. I’m a guitarist but are all now on my wish-list.
@@jet_string One man's meat is another man's poison. To me these are what synthesisers sounded like back in the day and undoubtedly they are not up to the sonic complexities of synths today.
Visually it's such a delight seeing this menagerie of unique typefaces, bizarre switches, strange lights and buttons. The old logos... the color palettes... the wood panels. There was so much experimentation going on in terms of the visual language of synthesis, in addition to the sounds.
damn true! this is a call: WHO WANTS TO HELP ME AND COLLABORATE WITH ME on a PROJECT about VISUAL LANGUAGE OF RARE SYNTHS? Let me know, I'd love to make it.
But it's also the reason they didn't sell too much, if you except some models like the Elka Synthex, the SIEL Opera 6 and subsequent variants, the Crumar bit99 and ds-2, and very but very few others, it was all a bunch of odd circuits. Some of those brands are unknown in Italy as well, and even if every of them could give you interesting experiences, you need to connect to their uniqueness, learn the path, learn how to make them sing one by one. From an industrial perspective, it's been basically a defeat.
Elka Synthex is a god among synths, hardly unknown... Siel Cruise is pretty common, in sweden there was a joke that they were worthless and I even saw a cartoon image of a Siel Cruise being used as a wheel block for a truck unloading a moog synth. I found a Siel Cruise at the junkyard electronics section full of leaves and water. It still worked after dried and plugged in. Sold it for $150. It was very limited but built like a tank with nice weighted switches.
@@F0nkyNinja the Cruise is a merge between the Orchestra2/OR400 and the MONO. But the polyphonic part is by far the most interesting, with its very odd setup, so basically you could settle for an Orchestra2/OR400 which is actually the same machine with a different aesthetic and a different visual language. Then they eventually switched to a more common single OSC analog path with the Opera6/KIWI/DK600/Expander6/DK700 which was actually the same machine in different versions and flavours before being acquired and shut by Roland. I think their last model (the DK700) was starting to be competitive and this is the reason to acquire and shut the line. Another god is the CRUMAR bit99/bit01, the bit01 is the rack version, don't confuse it with the bit-one that's a smaller keyboard synth. It featured curtis chipsets, and it sounded fat like a Prophet. Speaking of visual language: the bit99 was also sold with the LEM brand, with a very diasppointing aesthetic and visual language compared to the CRUMAR version, but the machine was the very same.
Bravissimo! Fabulous collection of Italo synths!!! And the winner is:...1°: CRB Computer Band 2000, 2°: Farfisa Polychrome and 3° for always.... Elka Synthex!!! Great job you have done to revive musical cultural heritage! I am definitely fan !!!
Superb collection. I love future future sounds as it was conceived back then... I do not mean i like all synths but 6 or 7 are heaven. Different players/operators... now ragazzi let me go back to look for lucio fulci's musician. And François de Roubaix's italian synths. Ciao bravo !!!
I'm a proud owner of some Italian great gear. GEM PK4900, Crumar Multiman S/2, Logan String Melody 2 and a Farfisa Combo ... Love them all to the death ! ....
It’s times like these that as a young person I feel so grateful for the people before me who chose to collect, archive, and maintain artifacts of such specific and niche histories as these for us to not only remember, but re experiences today
All of these synths were incredible, but my favorites were these: CRB Oberon, CRB Computer Band 2000, Crumar DS-2, Farfisa Polychrome, Elks Synthex, Crumar DP-50, and the Siel Cruise. Every single one of these synths should be sampled and then put into a vst, I would surely purchase it in a heartbeat!
Fantastic, I never knew the history and diversity of the Italian synthesizer industry outside of my Jen 1000, which as a mark of the quality of their craftsmanship, is still working well after 40 years in my occasionally careless hands.
These are a revelation, the variety and quirkiness and the sheer rawness of these machines are dare I say it, better than the more well known synthesizers. Plus the designs are just awesome!
That CRB Computer Band 2000 is the most delightfully Italian thing I've heard in years. I absolutely love it. And that Polychrome has some _very_ Tomita vibes.
My grandfather was born in this region and migrated to France in the 30s. I had no idea Marche was the epicenter of Italian synthesis. Now I understand, it's in the genes!
holy cow, i live so close to there and work in a music instrument shop. i even recognised some of them. yet i haven't considered visiting the events they sometimes host. dammit i have to redeem myself lol. thanks.
@@paolobragaglia beh niente, ne avevo sentito parlare, ma non ho approfondito. quando capita un evento verso macerata farò un salto. ci siamo visti un paio di volte comunque.
I think I can understand how one can fall in love with such beautiful instruments, those wild range of outstanding sounds and this array of weird experiments that stimulates creativity so much. I am so very glad I discovered this part of synth history, and I think you are one of the few that can communicate the beauty of these machines. Thank you so much!!!
I immediately associate quirky 70's Italian organs, rhythm machines and synths with Krautrock and I wish someone would bring some of those ideas back into modern instruments. I would snap up an analog arranger/groovebox type thing in a heartbeat.
This is fascinating stuff! I saw your live show at Ancona first, but now i see that you incorporated the sounds of these synths in your live show. Brilliant how you did that!!
Amazing! They all sound so different from the famous synths of the era. It is a shame all this went almost forgotten! Kudos to the museum creators and to Hainbach for bringing this to us.
Found myself hovering onto the like button al throughout this video, only to realize i've already hit it. It's like a journey through another world, and there's sound. Loved the jam at around 9 mins and the very lush sound of the Crumar DP-50. All these synths deserve a far greater audience.
I love the fact that Hainbach plays synths like most of us do. I hate synth demos where the player just noodles up and down playing lead lines. Like, we get it Freddy fast fingers, you're a great keyboardist but i want to hear what it sounds like in the average person's hands. Just give me some drones and slow moving chords.
Fabulous. I stumbled across the Museum via Arturo Capone, the best italian promoter, also from that region. I own several Farfisa guitar/accordeon amps and dearly love them. I also used to have an Elka Syntex in my studio, it belonged to a producer friend. So many awesome machines you featured here. Great stuff. Next time I am in that region I have to drop by too.
I’ve been honoured to perform there and lucky enough to play a bit with the beautiful machines. I didn’t have the chance of seeing the Computer Band 2000 which I love nearly as much as I love Riccardo, Agostino and Paolo. This a really great video, and a great documentary. One of the best synth videos I’ve ever seen, and a great, great piece of art and information. Thanks!
Almost unbelievable! These are the most beautiful sounding synths I have ever heard. So incredibly rich and sonorous in timbre and tone. I’m a guitarist but are all now on my wish-list.
I always knew that there were quite a number of synths to come out of Italy but despite that I might have underestimated the rich synth history of that country ;). This is incredible. And it gives me joy to watch the joy of passionate people like this :).
what an incredibile load of creativity and experimentation! it's great there are still people committed to preserve these pieces of art and craftsmanship! btw, I'd buy right now an album that features the stuff he played on the CRB Uranus 2!
Thank you, Heinbach, for this fascinating look -- and LISTEN -- to some lovely machines that were previously unfamiliar to me. You never cease to bring pleasant surprises to this channel. Thanks for sharing!
I hope Behringer gets their hands on some of these and re-create them they are so cool I had a few Italian sense and I regret every day that I sold them
Look around, search and buy an original one. These are cheap, hard to find but still cheap. Look for a String Melody or for a Soloist. You need the wood, the rust, the crappy sliders and some burn capacitors. All of this made the sound you like…
@@RiccardoPietroni Watching more of the video, I see on many of the machines those flat rocker switches throughout that remind me of the organ-with-drum-machine that my aunt and uncle had. Actually, a third influence comes to mind; in an era when bands were becoming too expensive to book for small venues, there was a desire for instruments that could be played by one person and then sing over. Think of a small bar or nightclub with nightly entertainment.
@@MahlenMorris it’s more related to the “Piano Bar” player of that period in Italy. One man playing piano while other person was drinking or the popular party where a guy with the accordion is playing. In both the situation you would need an arranger to put bass and drums in you music. With keyboard or connected to che accordion like the Moreschi or the Godwin.
Amazing video Hainbach! Thank you for sharing this beautiful collection of Synths! I have never seen/heard of most of these synths. I know a lot of people may focus on the Elka Synthex (and with good reason!) but there were some very interesting sounding synths here: The Farfisa Polychrome sounded stunning and ethereal! The Crumar DP-50 had a very nostalgic and almost Vangelis like tone to it. The CRB Uranus 2 was very rough and experimental. And I loved the CRB Computer Band 2000, it sounded much more unique than a lot of other arrangers I have heard. Great video like always! 🎧🎶
Absolutely wonderful! Back in the day I had a Crumar organ and then an Elka (were they also known as Elka-Orla?) Top of the range instruments back then (along with Hammond) and, in my work as a gigging muso, I played several Italian organs. Also recall Crumar synths but never owned one. Great to see - and hear! these!
I’m glad that the amazing work of Museo and Acusmatic continues to warm hearts around the world, this year I cannot be there for the concerts, looks like I missed beautiful stuff, from your music to Loris’ visuals. 👁🔥👁
Ach Mensch ist das schön 😊👍 Macht glücklich, das sieht man. Herrlich. Der String synth Vocoder mit detune ist ein warer Traum. Der detune moment erinnerte mich an ein synclavier so ein klitze, damit kann man so tolle Sachen machen 😍 Danke das du das mit uns teilst😘
wow I'm only two minutes into this video and the sound is staggering, thanks to bands like the doors who played Italian organs I first became interested in the word of synthesis years ago, these are some seriously special machines! I know that the lyra 8 by soma labs is supposed to use organ oscillator circuits I wish there was more interest in circuits like these!

@@jet_string One man's meat is another man's poison. To me these are what synthesisers sounded like back in the day and undoubtedly they are not up to the sonic complexities of synths today.
Maybe it's because they remind me of two particularly great early John Carpenter movies - Assault on Precinct 13 and DarkStar.
Italy: a place where even synthesizers are specially dramatic.
Sounds of Crumar Bit O1 are very interessant, GEM produced also good machines... ELKA 44...

What incredible Italian synthétizeur collection !!!
I play the accordion and Castelfidardo was one of the pilgrimage I have to do. Now I have to go to the synth museum as well!
The accordion industry in Castelfidardo is the origin of all these machines...

This is fascinating stuff! I saw your live show at Ancona first, but now i see that you incorporated the sounds of these synths in your live show. Brilliant how you did that!!
the craftmanship is crazy beautiful. Didnt know that my country produced these kind of machines. Thank you Hainbach!
This must have felt like walking around in paradise.
Awesome. I love that all of these synths have these stupidly, ridiculous, large, clunky, buttons and not small ones like most modern synths have.
And if the weight is under 25kg they are not italian.
Amazing! They all sound so different from the famous synths of the era. It is a shame all this went almost forgotten! Kudos to the museum creators and to Hainbach for bringing this to us.

But solos are fun
@@FranD995 They have their place. Just not when trying to discern the nuances of a synth tone.
i feel you.... please, stop the Jordan Rudes demo style
The worst is when they're demoing some monster polysynth like the Moog One by playing monophonic *crappy widdly blues solos*. Get a guitar, dude.
and how often are official demo's filled with jazzy stuff.... yeah, nice presets.... "looking at Korg, Roland..."..... soooo boring
