UTILIZATION

VERY easy to use, and I do not really understand the point of view of voicetrack on memory, there are only two buttons to press to save a sound made from presets.
A button / knob per function is obviously the top.

SOUNDS

The sound of course is not realistic unless such organs.
The bass is comparable to juno 60, ie with a lot of heat.
The tablecloths are beautiful, special effects sounds, strange kind video Thurs The keyboard is great, it is very nice, better than the jupiter 8 for example.
Envelopes are not super fast, but still ok.
THERE has extraordinary depth in this synth that I found nowhere else.

OVERALL OPINION

So I was owner of jupiter 8 of juno106 and 60, the prophet 5 rev3.3, the MemoryMoog, MS 10 and 20, the VP 330, the Jupiter 4, and I have to forget. I would not trade any of these synths, I know well, against the ELKA. It is as I imagined and better still, very organic, I tell myself that no vst not near it (unlike other pro 53 which are quite faithful kind). Not where we feel the animal vibrate all these sides ... and integrated chorus are magical.
So I reason with respect to a certain ideal of sound that is personal to me, but hey jp 8 different sounds, for example, more attack but less fat, less friendly I must say. The MemoryMoog is approaching the sound color, but the memo is too brutal for me so not used as much as ELKA. Anyway for me the dream became a reality, I am stuck every time I play, and also the edition comes very easily.
Last but not least it is (mine) extremely stable (the memo was not at all, jp 8 yes, the pro mouais 5).
Its coast rises, so it is not cool, but if you feel like it and you can, go for it is not possible to be disappointed.
