Why did it fail in such an epic way? Judging by the features and the sound and the stability of the DCOs it should have gone down as the greatest synth of all time shouldn't it? www.soundonsound.com/sos/dec99/articles/elka.htm
	To call it Polyphonic, Really IS an understatement!

There may still be some sound samples around on this site. Its a lovely synth and I will buy the first reasonably priced one I see! (Whatever did happen to the pants-man??)

A product never sell it self. And the came DX7.... Also Elka was a organ company - it is hard to change the image....

I have voice assignment technology, keyboard-cotrolled step sequencing (I had to study the 'step time heaven' box to get it right) and my chorus ensembles are second only to real BBD's.
