Farfisa is a manufacturer of electronics based in Osimo, Italy.
The Farfisa brand name is commonly associated with a series of compact electronic organs, and later, a series of multi-timbral synthesizers. At the height of its production, Farfisa operated three factories to produce instruments, in Ancona in the Marche region of Italy. Farfisa also made radios, televisions, and other electronic items.
Today the Farfisa brand mainly produces intercom systems with the company Aci Farfisa which makes and distributes systems for video intercoms, access control, video surveillance and home automation.
The Bontempi group owns the keyboard division Farfisa brand name.
The Farfisa brand name is an acronym for "FAbbriche Riunite di FISArmoniche", which translates to "united factories of accordions".
History
Production
Farfisa first started manufacturing electric organs in 1964. Distribution in the U.S. was handled by the Chicago Musical Instrument Co, which also owned Gibson, and the instruments were originally known as CMI organs when first introduced there. Unlike other combo organs, such as the Vox Continental, Farfisa organs have integrated legs, which can be folded up and stored inside its base. The first models to be produced were the Compact series of organs between 1964 and 1968. The range of FAST (Farfisa All-Silicon Transistorized) organs was launched at the 1968 NAMM show, and production of the Professional series appeared around the same time. Production of combo organs ended in the late 1970s after synthesizers had become more commonplace.

all signals run through cubase with some reverb, chorus, amping, stereo and effect plugins. EQin is all flat!

Farfisa Compact Duo with Echorec : That 60's Pink Floyd Sound.
This piece is now available, remastered and slightly remixed for a great headphones experience on Bandcamp.
https://twoliver.bandcamp.com/track/sigma-6
This is the 60's / early 70's Pink Floyd sound.
Rick Wright, Dave Gilmour and Roger Waters all used the Binson Echorec 2 Delay unit, and it was that in combination with Rick's Farfisa Compact Duo that really defined the Pink Floyd sound.
I'm really impressed with this Echroec emulation pedal by Catalinbread, it's very musical and organic, the organ sounds fantastic though it.
Inspired by Careful With That Axe Eugene, this was improvised in one take, with only a subtle UAD Lexicon 224 reverb on the final output.
I think the theme from Terminator somehow made it's way from my subconscious into it as well :)
Thanks to Tiny and Ron at Ha...

FARFISA SOUNDMAKER Analog Synthesizer 1979 | HD DEMO
(c) 2012 by AnalogAudio1
Synthesizer Demo of the analog synthesizer/string machine FARFISA SOUNDMAKER. I played the Soundmaker with a Roland DC-30 analog delay.
The Soundmaker was introduced 1979 by Farfisa, Italy. It looks a bit like a Synclavier :-)
It has a string section, a "poli" section and a monophonic synthesizer section. The strings sound like those from the Polychrome. The keyboard has aftertouch. Also it is possible to run the polyphonic section through the filter of the monophonic section - like heard in the intro music. It's great that it's possible to slightly detune the solo section against the strings. There were no external phaser or other effects used, except the Roland DC-30 analog delay.
