Introducing the Elektron-83.
The Elektron-83 was created by Moravian local legend Jožka Říhák, an electronic instrument builder who also built the Syntezátor – 83 Unisono; while the latter went into production, his Elektron-83 is the only one in existence.
The Elektron-83 was an early workstation-arranger keyboard: part analog synthesizer organ, part drum machine and part effects box. Říhák and his Elektron-83 were in action as part of Brno’s Synth Fest, an event hosted by Bastl Instruments and their new Noise Kitchen shop in the Czech Republic.
