Cluster Sound releases free synth pack Rhapsody
Rhapsody is a free synth Pack based on the vintage Elka Rhapsody 490, one of the very first string synthesizers, a minimal but unique machine from the creators of the popular Synthex.
Released in 1974 by the Italian manufacturer Elka, the Rhapsody 490 is a lush polyphonic analog string synthesizer. It has been used by Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis and Tangerine Dream and appears in loads of albums in 70’s and 80’s. The Rhapsody 490 comes with 3 presets (Violoncello, Strings and a combo of the two tones) characterized by a very unique chorus effect but the unit used for this Pack has been hacked with a switch to bypass it. Rhapsody Pack is based on the 3 preset sounds with and without the chorus and delivers 20 Ableton Synth devices designed using Sampler/Simpler parameters.
