ELKAro (Multitracking Test)

Today I returned to my new (second-hand) ELKA Solist 505 for more noodles. Sorry: noodling! ;-)

This time (almost) all You here is just the ELKA, all played by hand - four tracks actually, three of them forming the "pads" in the background, and one solo voice on top of them. (Only right at the start there is one other sound, produced by some cheap drums send through a (software) vocoder + tons of reverb. This sound is repeated later two more times...).

All the rest is, as I said, the little vintage monophonic synthesizer (like in the last example played through an old guitar multi effect panel, which is, as I just realized, NOT by Yamaha - as stated earlier - but indeed by Korg. My bad...).

Only little post production was done, just a little EQ to diminuish the hiss and spit, some level adjustment and a healthy dose of echo.

I really love the lively overall character of the sound and the singing, warm quality of the lead voice - doesn't it remind You of early Kitaro, too...? ;-)
