Cherry Audio - Elka-X (best price)

[Niky Serrano]

Elka-X has a price offer of $29

But I have found it for $24.36 using the code GROUP in JRRShop

I think that is the best price ever

It’s a little bit more expensive on AudioDeluxe (you get an extra 10% off at checkout) and you get the Klevgrand thing free. 
$25.98 plus you get $1.28 Deluxe Bucks back on top of that.

I trialed it a while back and didn't buy it. Can't remember anything about it. The videos make it sound like "just another synth". I like the old Elka organs. Is this "just another synth"?

You added an important point here that is a little bit out of topic, but I am agree
Are the demos we hear or see in the marketing videos made exclusively with the synthesizer they are selling us?

Sometimes yes, but mostly no

It sounds pretty bland. Mercury-6 and GX-80 are their only decent synths.

I don't have those but IMO Dreamsynth and Eight Voice sound decent too. Regarding Elka-X I'd choose the Xils alternatives Synthix and even miniSyn'X (I had problems with this last one but probably caused by my old Creamware soundcard driver. Now I use RME cards and it works fine). These are more expensive but I've seen miniSyn'X on sale for a similar low price some times.

I'll get Elka-X to get a better price on the next synth stack, due near the end of year (probably).
