EMS Synthi AKS

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The EMS Synthi A, and a version of it with a built-in keyboard/sequencer, the EMS Synthi AKS, is a portable modular analog synthesizer made by EMS in England starting in 1972. Most notable for its patch pin matrix, its functions and internal design are similar to the VCS 3 synthesizer, also made by EMS. E.M.S. is still run by Robin Wood in Cornwall, and in addition to continuing to build and sell new units, will repair and refurbish E.M.S. equipment.

The Synthi AKS was used extensively by Brian Eno in creating his 70's progressive rock and his earlier ambient creations. He utilized extensively its ability for signal-chain editing in order to add colour to his own voice as well as Robert Fripp and Phil Manzanera's guitar work. The latter he worked with both on his solo records and with his early band Roxy Music, which hired him on the spot after watching him tinker with the Synthi AKS for only a few minutes.
