Farfisa Soundmaker | Vintage Synth Explorer

The Farfisa Soundmaker 61-Key String Synthesizer offers a vintage charm that resonates with collectors and synth enthusiasts. While its monophonic synth section, complete with 12 preset sounds and a user-defined patch, gives it versatility, the polyphonic presets for piano and brass add depth. The string section, though not the best, is serviceable and can be appealing due to the machine's rarity. However, its considerable weight of 27kg and limited keyboard split options might deter some users. Despite these drawbacks, its polyphonic aftertouch and the ability to switch sections to monophonic make it a quirky, desirable piece for those seeking a unique touch in their setup.
