Information About

Freeman String Symphonizer




The Freeman had a built in spring Reverb which gave the synthesizer a deeper sound. One could choose between violins and cellos, and shift the keyboard an octave up or down. There was an after-touch sensor which provided some Vibrato , and an adjustable chorus effect. It was a heavy machine - about 70 lbs - and was rather durable.

It was used by The Who , Jan Hammer , Chick Corea , Elton John , and Peter Sinfield .

Recently, it has been emulated in software by GForce , with their Virtual String Machine software.
