Masterpiece from a mastermind

Standing out among its peers in the early 80’s, the Elka Synthex has reached legendary status since its release. An underdog polysynth conceived remarkably by a single mind.

In the wake of the Sequential Prophet 5 and other era-defining polysynths, eclectic Italian engineer and inventor Mario Maggi set out to make his own mark on music history. With a grand vision for what a synthesizer could be alongside the rising availability of boutique synth-on-a-chip components - Mario turned 12 years of research, countless sleepless nights and a uniquely artisanal approach to synthesizer design into what we know today as: the Elka Synthex.

Ushered into existence with the help of Italian Organ manufacturer Elka-Orla, the Synthex arrived on the world stage in 1981. It was a radical departure for the company but one they were willing to take, able to offer exceptional 8-voice polyphony and integrated sequencing at a price well below other synths of its size.

The result? One of the greatest sounding polysynths of all time, renowned for its clear and powerful, straight-DCO sound and unbeatably wide panoramic image. The Synthex also included a host of innovative features that expanded on existing polysynth paradigms, such as savable user programs, full multimode filtering and a highly accessible and capable 4-track sequencer.

While Synthex’s acclaim, like the CS-80, is owed to the artists who proselytized its capabilities - its sound goes much further than definitive synthpop styles. From deep basses to complex arpeggios and outstanding string and effect sounds, the sound-world of Synthex was one defined by strength and versatility. A legendary synth architecture faithfully recreated in Synthx V - which now includes modern enhancements that extend its sonic reach into infinite realms of possibility.

Intuitive design refined

The original hardware was known for its powerful yet simple controls,
an easy-to-learn interface that Synthx V enhances in every way that makes sense.

We also took the opportunity to unlock some component-level features and add a few of our own that give you even more ways to create phenomenal, expressive sounds without the added complexity.

DCO
perfection

Two digitally controlled oscillators provide the sonic spark for Synthx V, renowned for providing stability and precision while maintaining a lush, warm and characterful analog sound.

Multitimbral magnificence

When combined as layer A & B, Synthx V’s bi-timbral architecture offers an expansive sound design playground that is greater than the sum of its parts and perfect for complex sounds.

Panoramic voicing

With voice layering, independent panning, stereo voice spread, dual analog chorus and a new dedicated unison, explore Synthx V’s powerfully wide soundstage.

Multimode filter

Famous for being one of the first powersynths to include high-pass filtering, we recreated this legendary filter - as well as including a new low-pass mode that lay dormant in the original circuitry.
