    Used mine on a session (on tape) last week. Was the perfect sound. The solinas were always one-trick ponies, but when it works, whew, what a trick!

    • @PutItAway101
      @PutItAway101 14 днів тому +3

      Yep, definitely a one-trick pony but it can have so many different moods depending on context! Put it in a Pink Floyd song and it's cold and eerie, put it in a bouncy pop song like Bowie "Sound and Vision" and sounds like Christmas!

    Back in the 70s and 80s/90s I was obsessed with 3 sounds... the Rhodes, the ProSoloist and the Solina... I was (and still am) into my jazz funk so those sounds were so prevalent... I still use my Rhodes and ProSoloist but I think I would struggle to use a Solina nowadays as there are other options.... still... it is pure nostalgia to hear it... it certainly does carry a certain "melancholic/depressive" vibe which I hear in Klaus Schulze/Pink Floyd records....

    • @fjfrancois

  • @PutItAway101
    @PutItAway101 14 днів тому +4

    Got it, love it! I mostly use just "violin" sound with no reverb for that cold retro-future dystopian vibe, or add some "viola" and stereo reverb for massive lush string atmospheres. Definitely going to try running everything else I have through the modulation!

    Wonder if t here's a way mod this for stereo output from the "modulation"? Yeah I know the original was mono, but I used to have a Streichfett and when you turn on the ensemble effect it opens up into gorgeous stereo, I do miss that. Adding stereo effects afterwards is not the same as having the three different elements of the modulation appear in different parts of the stereo field.

    • @Triplechorus2
      @Triplechorus2 19 днів тому +2

      I own both and a Solina from 1976. The chorus of the Streichfett is not tuned correctly and modulates too much. As a result, the signals from the three delays do not merge properly and the creamy sound of the Solina cannot be created at all. This is less of a problem with choir sounds. You can disguise it with a lot of reverb, but unfortunately that also means the nice rasp of a string ensemble disappears. You can also notice with the VP-330/VC-340 that the chorus doesn't sound quite as full as with the Solina. Greetings from Germany!🇩🇪🤝

    @morbidmanmusic 21 день тому +2

    Seems weird that we need to revive keyboards for $$$$ when all the synths we have can create those sounds other ways. Tech has been stuck for so long.casios from 1980 are still as interesting.

    • @auralplex
      @auralplex 21 день тому

      I agree. Behringer keeps reviving these old synths that are so boring and limited.

    • @zachary963
      @zachary963 17 днів тому

      Counterpoint: I’m a guitarist who got into synths while I was a starving college student. $50 was a MAJOR purchase for me at the time. I have about a billion software synths, yeah, but if wasn’t for Behringer’s reissuing of these classics I would have never even dreamed of getting them. Budget synths elsewhere are simply too prohibitively priced.
      These reissues are a way for someone without the money or means to have the “real” synths that their heroes had. I know own multiple of these Behringers, and I’m definitely planning on investing into more sophisticated and modern synths, but for now I spend most of my time with my Crave and NI Massive.
