VAI 35 : Wersimatic II / Farfisa Syntorchestra

Another take with the Wersimatic II, the younger sister / brother of the Wersimatic 24 auto accompaniment machine.
The sounds and controls are across the board identical as far as we can tell.
It was never made as a standalone unit but part of a large, double manual organ called Wersi Helios in the mid 70s.
This particular one has been transplanted from an organ into a smaller box with a twelve buttons acting as chord control instead of the bottom keys of the organ.

Special thanks to Organfairy for the rare schematics : dude you f-ing rock

The Wersimatic II has sections on board:
Bass
Drum machine
Various chord sounds

Melody played on the Farfisa Syntorchestra String machine and Mono synth.

As always, wonderfully intriguing sounds and gear. I think the world needs a Vintage Audio Institute Italia album!

At this point you definitely need to release an album...your Ditties are THAT GOOD. ;)

I love the music you do in your videos. Do you released some albums?
