• Dec 16, 2016  There’s something about flangers that I just don’t like. It seems that too many of them are thin-sounding and really only function to make stuff shrill and weak in the mix. I’ve been going through flangers, therefore, looking for a good one and I think I’ve found it.

I love this synth, I am using it more and more often again these days. Despite the totally different look, it is quite similar to Noisemaker.

Although Elektro is older, it has some features not even found on Noisemaker, like the more advanced suboscillator with selectable waveform and semitone tuning. I wonder why TAL has not included every good thing about Elektro in Noisemaker as well, which is its successor, after all.

It does sound a bit different than Noisemaker. Sometimes that is a good thing, sometimes not so much. When combining Elektro with TAL's chorus plugin, one can get rather similar sounds, but still, they do have a different sound. Noisemaker sounds a bit more intense and direct, Elektro has a slightly more digital sound, at least that is my impression. It can do lovely silky pads, partly thanks to the separate HP filter. Bass and weird sound effects (FM, LFOs) are also among its strengths in my view.

Despite the similar architecture, it is not so easy to replicate Noisemaker patches on Elektro or the other way round as knob positions can be quite different for the same value/effect on the sound.

The only thing I am not so happy about is the user interface. It is a bit too dark. Especially for those black dropdown menus white fonts would have been much better. Plus, 6 voices is not much by modern standards, not least as Elektro can do nice electric piano sounds, but with long release times 6 voices can be a problem.

One thing I don't quite understand: There is one PW knob in the osc 1 section, and one FM knob in the osc 2 section. What exactly do PW1 and PW2 as well as FM1 and FM2 as LFO targets refer to? (On Noisemaker there is only one FM and one PW LFO target.).

My rating: 10. For a free synth it is fantastic in terms of sound (it uses 4x oversampling, which might be one reason). While offering more gimmicks, effects, etc., many commercial ones don't sound as good. For musicians (rather than sound designers) who want to program really good sounds fast it is a great synth, just like Noisemaker, of course.
