LEM INSTA-STRINGS String Machine 1975 | HD DEMO

(c) 2016 by AnalogAudio1

Demo of the LEM (Galanti Group) Insta-Strings. Played with Korg SDD-3000 for delay effects and in the intro and beginning from 3:08 an Electro-Harmonix Small Stone Phase Shifter.

The LEM Insta-Strings (instant strings like instant coffee?) is a simple string machine from Italy. I came across it incidentally, I never heard of it before! It seems to be very rare. It has a cheesy string sound, but it surely has character - I love its sound. It has 4 free combinable presets: TUBA, TRUMPET and VIOLIN. Controls for ATTACK, DECAY, VOLUME and BALANCE. The latter is for the volume balance between left and right half of the keyboard (some kind of volume split). Tune knob.
