SIEL CRUISE Analog Synthesizer 1979 | HD DEMO

(c) 2015 by AnalogAudio1 I played the Siel Cruise along with a Korg SDD-3000 vintage digital delay. Is this the brother of Tom Cruise? Not really - although both are smart. The Siel Cruise comes from Italy and is a string machine with a built in monophonic (preset) . It’s basically a Siel Orchestra and Siel Mono in one box. But it can’t do everything a Siel Orchestra and a Siel Mono can do - some functions were sacrificed (the vibrato of the Orchestra and the highpass filter mode of the Mono). It sounds great, though. The monophonic synth has presets, which can be tweaked in “free mode“. The monophonic synth sounds really good - although with just a single VCO, it has a powerful sound, resonant VCF with ADSR controls for VCF and VCA. There are the same polyphonic presets as on the ARP Quartet (different to Siel Orchestra!). Every section (mono and poly synth) has its own output, so you can treat the sound individually (what I made in the first half of the video). After all, a great Italo synth!
