street priceSK30 has organ, preset strings and polysynth sections. The SK series was a popular combo-keyboard line. SK30 is enclosed in rugged housing, gives 5 octaves and features Leslie simulator, vibrato, attack, a slider for “brilliance” settings as well as an octave transpose switch.
The instrument and the series are not multi-featured but the sounds are worth a purchase. The organ section provides adjustable decay, sustain and brilliance. The sounds remind of B3 which is surely good. Organ section is based on FM and with the addition of some vibrato, tremolo or ensemble chorus you can achieve that 70s sound.
SK30 can be proud of its strings section which is always a delicate part of sombo keyboards but the SK series make it sound as decent as ARP Omni does. SK30 got a polysynth section added. The synth part has a 7-note polyphony and two oscillator per voice offering filter, envelope, pitch, and portamento amount control. The oscillators can be detuned. It’s not for aggressive leads or beat but evolving soft pads can be lustrous.
SK30 adds a solo synth section represented by one VCO monosynth offering such basic functions as pitch, filter which is not the most powerful feature, volume, envelope and portamento control.
The instrument has nothing extra – just play it. No user memory.
