1.1. The original Elka Synthex
The Synthex is the product of collaboration between Italian organ company Elka-Orla and
an independent synth designer named Mario Maggi. Maggi had previously created the
MCS70, a monophonic instrument that is arguably the first portable performance synth
with programmable preset memory. Since the MCS70 was a custom project and never
commercially produced, the Oberheim OB-1 usually takes this credit. In 2020, vintage synth
enthusiasts Marco Molendi and Andrea Manuelli restored what is believed to be the only
surviving MCS70 in the world.
Maggi wanted to elevate the MCS70 concept into polyphonic territory, but further
development would require investment. Elka (and other Italian companies such as Siel
and Crumar) had provided performing keyboardists with string machines and “ensemble”
keyboards that combined strings with brass, organ, choirs, and other sounds, but these
were not full-blown
synthesizers
, which professional keyboardists rapidly started to seek
out beginning with the Prophet-5 in 1977.
Elka were certainly aware of the trend and wanted a share of this growing market. They
were initially skeptical of the Synthex design — their tastes being rooted in the tradition of
console organs that resided in living rooms and hotel lounges — but were largely convinced
by one Paul Kevin Wiffen. Familiar with the global synth market, Wiffen basically fell in love
with the Synthex at first listen. He became its only international demonstrator and primary
product evangelist, and has since enjoyed a storied career in the musical instrument
industry and as a film director and composer.
