EMS SYNTHI 100: It’s hard to imagine that the vision that was at play back in 1971 when EMS created this monster synthesizer as it was so incredible.
It was an offshoot of the VCS3 but it had 12 oscillators, 8 filters, a three layer digital sequencers, two 60 x 60 pin matrix, ring modulators, dual keyboards, oscillator sync and more. It cost 6500 Pounds (about 95,000 or more in today’s Pounds) and about 30 were built.
It was designed by David Cockerell who went on to design samplers and other gear for Akai and a ton of fantastic devices for ElectroHarmonix. Moog was building large Clll modular’s and ARP built the 2500 but in my opinion this creation was on another plane.
I think Aphex Twin has one and Pete Towshend just gifted his to a university in the UK along with his ARP 2500 and Yamaha GX1. I’ve never seen one yet alone played one but I think there are some that are accessible for use. A truly astounding achievement and beyond imagination.
