the Elements probably will be
the masterpiece of the well known synthsizer artist mister Ken
Macbeth from Scotland. The outstanding synth has 3 VCOs, a tape
echo simulator, a filter/resonator combination, a spring reverb,
and really big modulation potentiomenters. Also the sound is huge
but what really stands out (optically) is the golden touch keyboard
with quick response.
Besides MIDI In and Thru the Elements has a CV and gate input
socklet pair, several CV inputs, e.g. for separate VCO control,
filter cutoff and for the VCA. A spring reverb line in/out socket
is installed

About the manufacturer
The eccentric Scotsman Ken MacBeth is regarded as one of the most
extraordinary players in the analog scene. He develops his synths
and modules without technical compromises which results in
outstanding quality and therefore also comes with the corresponding
price tag. His legendary M5 is known as one of the best synths
ever. Most of MacBeth’s devices are only built in small runs for a
limited time as Ken likes to keep on developing new stuff.
Therefore we usually recommend to buy as soon as it’s
available.
