Vendo stupendo ELKA EK 22 sintetizzatore storico italiano del 1986.
Sonorità molto simili al Matrix 6 ( e Matrix 1000 ) Oberheim ed al Prophet 600 Sequential in quanto al suo interno ha il famoso filtro CEM 3386.
Il sintetizzatore è in condizioni ottime, tutto funziona regolarmente, pulsanti, sliders, volume, il bellissimo Chorus (Juno 60 style) uscita audio e cuffie compreso anche gli ingressi dei controlli per pedali posizionati nel pannello posteriore.
Anche l'After Touch è attivo, seppur leggermente duro occorre premere abbastanza i tasti per ascoltare il suo effetto, molto probabilmente perchè mai utilizzato negli ultimi 30 anni !!
All'interno del pannello frontale dei comandi è stato inserito una piccola striscia di foam per attenuare il rumore di plastica, ma non comporta nulla nel suo comportamente funzionale ed estetico.

Il synth non è utilizzato da alcuni anni, ma ho effettuato un'accurata analisi prima di metterlo in vendita online.
La descrizione e le foto pubblicate descrivono perfettamente le condizioni attuali del sintetizzatore.
Disponibile anche uno splendido Editor Midi, sia per WIN 10 e WIN11 che Mac Osx( versioni a 32 bit ), si trova facilmente online ed è gratuito


Per la l'imballo e la spedizione preparerò il pacco con tutte le dovute accortezze utilizzando un doppio contenitore. Il synth verrà avvolto con materiale pluriball e morbido in modo da garantire la totale protezione durante il viaggio, sia per i tasti che del pannello frontale.

    The EK-22 is an analog polyphonic programmable synthesizer from Elka. Its cousin, the EK-44 is a digital and expanded version of the EK-22. Although the EK-22 is analog, the oscillators are digitally controlled (DCOs) for better stability and programmability. The keyboard can be split and there are 16 performance patches to store any split, tuning and patch settings. There are 64 preset and 32 user sound patches of purely Italian style analog synth sounds.
    Oscillators are very programmable with syncing, individual tuning, level and modulations. There are two six-stage envelope generators for total control of dynamics. The EK-22 is a capable synth similar to the Prophet 600 in programmability but more like the Matrix 6 in its look and push button style programming interface. The EM-22 is a keyboard-less desktop module version of the EK-22.

****** ENGLISH VERSION ***********

I'm selling a stunning ELKA EK 22, a historic Italian synthesizer from 1986.

It has a very similar sound to the Oberheim Matrix 6 (and Matrix 1000) and the Prophet 600 Sequential, as it features the famous CEM 3386 filter.
The synthesizer is in excellent condition; everything works properly buttons, sliders,Chorus (Juno 60 style) volume, audio output, and headphones, including the pedal inputs on the rear panel.
Aftertouch is also active, although it's a bit harsh; you have to press the keys quite hard to hear its effect, most likely because it hasn't been used in the last 30 years!
A small strip of foam has been inserted inside the front control panel to dampen the plastic noise, but this does not affect its functional or aesthetic behavior.

The synth hasn't been used for a few years, but I performed a thorough inspection before listing it online.
The description and photos published perfectly describe the synthesizer's current condition.
A wonderful MIDI editor is also available, for both Windows 10 and Windows 11, as well as Mac OS X (32-bit versions), it's easy to find online and is free.


For packaging and shipping, I will prepare the package with all due care, using a double container.
The synth will be wrapped in bubble wrap and soft material to ensure complete protection during transport, both for the keys and the front panel.
