SIEL MONO Analog Synthesizer 1979 | HD DEMO

(c) 2019 by AnalogAudio1
I played the Siel Mono partly with reverb effects from a Lexicon MPX 500 and delay effects from a Korg SDD-3000. But no chorus, phaser or other effects involved.
The SIEL MONO is a monophonic analog synth made in Italy. It's the only one mono synth from Siel (hence the name?). It has 10 presets (trumpet, flute, violin, you get the idea), but apart from that it's fully programmable. I has one oscillator, a filter with switchable LOWPASS / BANDPASS / HIGHPASS modes - and the best of all - all modes are combinable! 1 LFO (frequency can go very high), noise generator (white noise). It has a built in CHORUS effect, called "Animator". Very nice portamento effect, reminiscent of ARP Pro DGX and Minimoog (the portamento effect, not the synth). Surprisingly meaty, powerful basic sound. A clearly cutdown version of the Siel Mono is featured in the Siel Cruise.
My conclusion: Interesting synth, but very confusing and annoying to program. Parameters, which should belong to a certain section, are spread all over the place. A solution could be, to replace the switch/slider caps with color coded ARP-style caps (red for filter, blue for oscillator, green for LFO and so on). Editing will be a lot easier.

I love all those vintage Italian synth. That beast is a healthy mix of miniMoog D and miniKorg 700 with a slight touch of Arp Odyssey. Or it might be an Yamaha cs15 on speed!🤗👍
I've had mine for 38 years, and used to gig with a siel orchestra. used to use a set of Boss pedals.The delay was brilliant with the bass.
Great video. Just bought a beaten up one. Hopefully I'll get her going again
Wow. This has an incredible amount of character. Add it to my list!
You can have any sound as long as it’s MMMmwuuuurrrpppppp brbrbrbrbrbr zingggg! Mwhaarrrppppp MMERRRRrrrrppppp Bwuurrbbbbb Love it! Would be cool to hear Jexus have a good old Mwarrrpp on it for a bit!
It’s sounds so beautiful, love Mono synths
Wow, quite an interesting synth. I remember looking for the Cruise as a substitute for the Korg Trident, thinking I would never be able to get one. Great to hear these sounds!
Moto Bella! An Italian synth fit for Giorgio Moroder himself.
Nice😍. This was my first synth I bought. So cool to see and hear it again.
... woh! amazing little piece of hardware you have there. love it.
Lovely and impressive
That reverb really breaths life into the synth. Spiel made some of the best.

They made some of the most curious I would say...
A very rare little beasty.
thank you for the in depth video
I think just thanks to the sheer variety of synths and the quality of editing this is one of the best synth channels on the internet.

I also have the SIEL Mono. Tons of sonic character, that you 've managed to bring forward. Mine needs some re-capping and slider maintenance as it shows signs of instability and wobbliness - especially in the envelope / filter sections. Great job once more, man!

I have a MONO, too and it's playable, but almost none of the sliders are working. The build seems quite solid, though. Would it be worth repairing it?
Sehr eigenartiger Klangcharakter aber cool.

ja, sein Charakter kommt vor allem vom Multimode-Filter

Not many Siels over here in the USA
Your playing always brings these synths to life and shows their full potential. Do you have any music recorded?
I've just found your channel and I'm loving all your videos. Have you thought of doing more digital stuff, such as one of the Virus synths?

no virus, I bought one many years ago, I sold it few days later...
Good demo, although I would have preferred to hear it without extra effects.
I've a SIEL DK80 :P
C'è chi ha il coraggio di ridere di macchine come queste, e del suo fratello maggiore Cruise, che ho dovuto svendere per necessità. Non pensando che intanto sui palchi ci stavano e ci rimanevano.
It has some nice sounds but definitely limited with one oscillator.

yes, a single oscillator synth is limited in general, this one makes no exception
Holy hell this reminds me of Plantasia
Believe I've heard this in a Bob Marley song
I had one and sold it :(
Id have to say, my only disappointment with this series is the envelopes. Or maybe mines just fucked.
