it's not there
The KORG LAMDA..... please add your comments
I used to have a Lambda years ago. They had decent sounds for the day, in partic, the strings were good, the pianos were thin and cheezy. It was like a cross between an organ and a synth, I recall that I bought itnew and thought it was great. It was good for the day.
I still have one, in beautiful condition, in my home studio in Amsterdam, The Netherlands! I bought it around 1983, second-hand.
The piano on itself was lousy, but in combination with clavi quite unique. The machine was (and is) fully polyphonic - you can press all the keys at the same time... The strings even have 3 oscillators per tone that can be tuned individually to create a convincing orchestral ensemble. The brass uses 2 oscillators per tone with very interesting possibilities. Simple knobs to set decay and attack.
This instrument was absolutely unique back then: you could play all the instrumental sounds together in any combination.
If it had MIDI I would probably still use it for some projects.
