1979 FARFISA Syntorchestra Vintage Analog Synthesizer ARP Pro-Soloist Solina 1979 FARFISA Syntorchestra Vintage Analog Synthesizer ARP Pro-Soloist Solina Works good. But, it needs to be tuned frequently. The included Service Manual has the procedures on how to do this. Also includes "Musical Registrations" booklet, sales receipt for the two booklets and corrections to the Service Manual sheet. It produces unique sounds unlike most synths. The closest I've heard is the ARP Pro-Soloist/DGX. But, the Syntorchestra also has additional polyphonic voices which the Pro-Soloist lacks. Polyphonic voices: Trombone, Trumpet, Piano, Viola
Monophonic voices: Tuba, Trombone, Trumpet, Baritone Sax, Alto Sax, Bass Flute, Flute, Piccolo, Violin
