ARP String Ensemble

The Solina String Ensemble, also marketed as the ARP String Ensemble, is a fully polyphonic multi-orchestral combined digital/analog string synthesizer with a 49-key keyboard, produced by Eminent BV (known for its Solina brand). It was distributed in the United States by ARP Instruments from 1974 to 1981. The sounds it incorporates are violin, viola, trumpet, horn, cello, and contrabass. The keyboard uses 'organ style' divide-down technology to make it polyphonic. The built-in chorus effect gives the instrument its distinctive sound.
