So I've had the SK-15 for a good while now and have some concrete thoughts on it. Right off the bat playing it is a joy with its thick wood shell and the series of sliders, you feel like you've got something real under your fingers, something with real substance. Its got 49 full size keys, by the way. So when you turn it on it has all three of its voices on: Organ, Strings, and Polysynth.
Its organ sounds are really fantastic, this has to be the second most used function of the synth for me. It gives you complete control over how you want it to come out, all the way down to percussive organ sounds.
Strings are controlled by two sliders that control the high frequencies and one for the low. They sound as though they're being hit with a strong cutoff though still use able for the synth player. You can control the attack and release of them aswell with two buttons and one slider.
The polysynth is really incredible after you get the hang of it. I spend most of my time making Bladerunner esque pads and leading those into chord progressions. The ADSR controls the filter of the whole board and I tend to turn the reso up and the cutoff somewhat middleway with a slow attack on the filter. This leads to a growing sound that I feel like I can swim through.
Anyways Enjoy the video and comment any questions!
ALSO! The vibrato in it is great! It will really give a good sound when you turn the delay down and the speed about mid way.
