String synthesizers had their day, and have recently made something of a come back. Way back when, I owned an Elka Rhapsody 490, and a friend of mine had an ARP Omni. It's hard to describe the attraction, because most of the recordings online use a camera mic, and therefore, sound horrendous. But once you've been bitten, it's hard to remove the venom. There's just something about that tremulous nasal little tone, run through a ton of reverb and maybe a phaser.
It would be useful to post here any and all related information, together with recordings.
