A NICE LITTLE EMS SYNTHI AKS TUTORIAL

THE EMS SYNTHI AKS IN ACTION

FROM MY STUDIO: The EMS Synthi AKS Mk. II

Essentially a 1972 performance/portability refinement of the lovingly designed VCS3,  the Synthi AKS added a 30 note non-moving keyboard sequencer to the basic VCS3 synthesizer specs.  That is why this suitcase synth is coveted by noise freaks and sound junkies the world over.  I must say that I love the pin matrix as well,  with its ease of use and visual clarity.  My Synthi had a few mods done (by EMS guru,  Robin Wood?) to it by a previous owner,  but I seldom use them.  The sounds that this thing makes out of the box seem more than enough to me. A keeper for sure!
