Synthesist Alberto Napolioni shared this 100% blah-blah-blah free demo of the rare Armonconcert, a vintage Italian paraphonic synthesizer from 1974.
It’s not just a great demo of the possibilities of the Armonconcert, but also a great demo of the performance possibilities of paraphonic synths of the ’70s.

Some patches are dry and other with FX used on it:
OTO Bim delay
OTO Bam reverb
I’m not too sure I see a point here!
i always thought the Shut Up and Play series was pretty self-explanatory
Ok, that was surprinsingly amazing! Makes me want a VST version (since I’d probably never be able to afford rare vintage gear like this).
this was amazing. but i think it is more the player than the instrument. you can make these sounds with any decent poly synth and proper FX.
