In his latest video, German synthesist Hainbach demos the Analog Sweden Swenigiser, a modern clone of the Orgon Systems Enigiser.
The Orgon Systems Enigiser is a rare monophonic synth design, created by Geoff Waterston in 1996, designed for experimental dance musicians. Under 150 units are thought to have been made.
After decades of the Enigiser being a collector’s item, it was reissued in 2022 by Waterston, who also introduced a more advanced model, the Enigiser X in 2023.
In addition, two companies offer clones of the original design. Hainbach’s video demos the Analog Sweden Swenigiser, which is based on the original Enigiser design.
Pricing and Availability:
The Analog Sweden Swenigiser, is available now for 1,798.00 USD.
Note: Waterston’s site says that “While it could be seen as a compliment that people have made huge efforts to clone the enigiser, it has to be stated that the cloned copies do not sound or function in the same way an original enigiser does.” The original enigiser is available for £1495 (about $1,875 USD) plus shipping.
Thats why Kurzweil VAST was invented
The original creator seems to be against it.
With Orgon Systems still being in business and a reissue and expanded version still available, that’s fair. That Hainbach guy could have easily bought one of the real two…
“Geoff released the original enigiser again in 2022 and not long after some poorly sounding and designed clones also hit the market. In 2023 Geoff released the new ENIGISER X and it has been an incredible experience to see so much demand for the machine he created almost 30 years ago.”
Maybe they are making another series of Nathan for You.
It’s reminiscent of “Dumb Starbucks”.
i dont see what is so “experimental” about it
it seems like a very standard vanilla kind of subtractive analog synth design
