A few years later another, very “S”-like synthesizer appeared, the GEM Equinox. Sadly, the success of the S-series was limited, so GEM/GeneralMusic cancelled the whole product line once the Turbokit had been released. After its collapse in 1988, GEM/GeneralMusic took over the plans and brought the innovative “S” synthesizer project to realization. The S-series actually was one of the last products ELKA began. That’s where, among other things, some of the S-series custom chips were developed. The R&D (Research and Development) department alone employed 25 technicians. In the early 90ies, GEM/GeneralMusic had some 500 employees in five locations. LEM produced mixing consoles and loudspeakers, while ELKA offered guitar/bass amplifiers and portable p.a. GEM was still a name to take seriously in the portable keyboard, workstation and e-piano market. That means that GeneralMusic now hosted GEM, LEM and ELKA.
The latter was taken over by GEM a few years later, as was ELKA.ġ994 GEM changed their company name to GeneralMusic, but kept GEM as a brand. When the great keyboard & organ manufacturer closed its doors in 1986, it was bought by LEM. But let’s start even further back and have a look at Crumar first. The company had grown substantially, especially in the late 80ies / early 90ies. It was among the last Italian keyboard manufacturers, along with Ketron (Solton). GeneralMusic unfortunately filed for bankruptcy some time ago. GEM – a respectable name in the home organ/keyboard/e-piano market Are these synthesizers from the early 90s as innovative as rumours have it?
