The EMS Synthi 100 is a legendary synthesiser made by Peter Zinovieff's company EMS in the 1970s. The Leicester Synthi 100 was purchased by Krafthaus Arts CIC using a Heritage Lottery grant. It is now undergoing restoration at the R10 Electronic Media Studio. Less than 30 Synthi 100s were made, of which 16 remain, just 4 of which are in the UK.
We're very ha ppy to announce that the next phase of the Leicester Synthi 100 Restoration Project has been supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund. The new funding will allow Krafthaus Arts CIC to conduct a comprehensive condition survey of the Synthi and to produce a restoration work plan, as well as recruit an advisory board and begin to properly promote the project. This is an important step towards our goal of getting the Leicester Synthi 100 working and used by contemporary musicians.
