Teisco • Synthesizer 110-F

In the beginning of the 80's Kawai began manufacturing synthesizers under the company name of Teisco. Their early designs resulted in synths like the S110-F above. The Synthesizer 110-F is an upgraded S60-F, with dual analog VCO's and an updated look. It has a small but usable 37 note keyboard. Classic analog sawtooth, square, and triangle waveforms plus noise are on-board and can be mixed with external sounds run through the 110-F's filters and envelopes. The oscillators can be de-tuned for duophonic textures or phatter leads and bass sounds.

There's plenty of modulation ability and classic analog effects in the 110-F to really liven up the sound. There's an LFO which can modulate the VCO and VCF and can trigger the EGs. The VCF resonant low pass filter is great too. There's also a VCA section with Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release controls and finally there's a Hi-Pass filter. There is also a portamento effect, a ring modulator, vibrato and sample-and-hold for those classic analog synth effects and tricks! Lots of pretty blinking lights, a sleek and straight-forward layout and very nice analog bass, lead and synth sounds are all a part of the Synthesizer 110-F experience.

I love this synth! It is really a shame that it is in the shadow of synths like MS-20 and Peo-ONE - this is a better synth, but allmost forgotten. Much better! Very versatile - nice fx and lovely drums and percussions - but the basses... The bass-sounds of this synth is only beaten by the OSCar...

I try 110F after 1985 ( friend composer )
a good synthetiser .Like Roland juno 106 or sh101
I like fader very quickly for built sounds.
Small sounds very funny with release .
Good for solo et bass. Monophonic & small keybord.

Comparto lo dicho: excelente sintetizador!!! Pero ojo, que a esta clase de teclados hay que saber aprovecharla para lograr algo más que el ubicuo sonido "niauuuu...niauuu"... En el fondo, es un Kawai: calidad. Y en su momento no era de los más caros, por eso me lo pude comprar nuevo.

increible sinte! que pocos que hay, y que buenos que son.
el banco de filtros le da un sonido unico y los pads de modulacion son muy buenos.
completisimo sinte bifonico!

Esta vivo!. Es fantastico para crear sonidos clasicos como burbujeos, modulaciones, lineas acidas, y efectos totalmente ci-fi. Desde hace 3 años lo llevo en cada acutacion en vivo que realizo (a todo el mundo). lo he golpeado y maltratado miles de veces y nunca tuve ningun problema. Altamente recomendable. Solo le falta algo de poder en las bajas frecuencias (20hz a 200hz). pd: El banco de filtros es fabuloso si va dosificando. pd2: metiendo la salida alta en ext.in se logran autenticos y destructores chillidos, cuyo tono se controla utilizando el VCF.
