The Soviet-era Altair 231 three oscillator synth with selectable waveforms for each . Low-pass filter with resonance and keyboard tracking. Portamento, indeed.
Imperfect, but not sure if it gets any fatter than this.
#SoundEngine #SovietSynths #Vintage
The Tom-1501 was a essentially a single manual keyboard organ circuit along with a filter. Interesting organ & string tones and a useful Harpsi-piano instrument.
Cheezy, a little noisy, & imperfect - in a good way.
#SoundEngine #SovietSynths #Vintage
The Elista drum module only generated 4 tones - Kick, Snare and 2 hats, but they were all good - very different from normal. 4 trigger ins & bundled with four pads.
Cheesy, imperfect, & a little noisy.
#SoundEngine #SovietSynths #Vintage
The Lell-UDS was an analog-based drum module that works with included drum triggers. Appears to be an addition to an acoustic kits, not a replacement. Tone and Noise controls for the 2 pads.
#SoundEngine #SovietSynths #Vintage
One of the 1st examples on integrated micros was the Mastro synth from the Soviet era. There were 20 recallable presets with Cutoff, Resonance & Chorus.
Interesting Pitch/Mod joystick maniptulated the Filter.
#SoundEngine #SovietSynths #Vintage
The Soviet-era Formanta combo organ with a two osc synthesizer - plenty of buttons & controls for the organ, the synth, and the built-in vinbrato and stereo phaser.
Cheesy, imperfect, and a little noisy.
#SoundEngine #SovietSynths #Vintage
The Soviet-era RITM-1 combo organ with a choice of tones - Organ, string, & bass sounds - plus click. Rhythms include Waltz, Swing, Rhumba, Saba, Bossa Nova, Foxtrot, & R&B.
Cheesy, imperfect, & a little noisy.
#SoundEngine #SovietSynths #Vintage
The Junost (or Unost) Soviet keytar. Aluminum case w/ leather strap. Effective in repelling the opposite sex. Considered by Brezhnev & Gorbachev as "not a very good synth."
Unique appearance, but not much more.
#SoundEngine #SovietSynths #Vintage
The Soviet-era Drum Synth with trigger pads - it still slams. Trigger to play live or the built-in beats. Rhythms include Rock, Rumba, Samba, Bossanova, Waltz,Swing, Disco & Tango.
Cheesy, imperfect, & a little noisy.
#SoundEngine #SovietSynths #Vintage
The Marsh drum module & pads was targeting the replacement of an acoustic kit - 4 pads & a kick trigger allowed electronic synthesis of drum sounds with tone and noise generators (ENVS) for each pad.
This one kicks.
#SoundEngine #SovietSynths #Vintage
The Soviet-era Alisa-1377 synth - a 3 octave keyboard with four waveform choices and a warm, resonant filter.
Fat, imperfect and a little noisy, but solidly built.
#SoundEngine #SovietSynths #Vintage
The Soviet-era Alisa-1387 synth -a follow-on to the 1377 with two oscillators and selectable waveforms - killer hard sync. Filter & amp envelopes, resonance.
Fat & imperfect, but lots of new tones.
#SoundEngine #SovietSynths #Vintage
The Soviet-era Elektronika-EM25 poly synth with voices for strings, organ, trombones and trumpets. Feels like the Soviet version of the Arp Omni.
Wonderful strings sounds and quirky feel.
#SoundEngine #SovietSynths #Vintage
More a portable keyboard than a synthesizer, the EMI Kvintet had string-piano, synth-organ, abdominal brass textures, but no pitch or modulation wheels. Chorus.
A few interesting tones, indeed.
#SoundEngine #SovietSynths #Vintage
Another Soviet-era poly synth - Faemi-1M. 4-octave keyboard - strings, piano, clave, wind instruments. Like the EM25, it was probably an organ circuit with poly LP filters
Great resonances and wonderful imperfections.
#SoundEngine #SovietSynths #Vintage
The Lell-PSR was and 8 song, multi-pattern digital drum machine from the Soviet era. It contained various preset drum styles, & produced Kick, snare, tom, hat, percs, etc. with a 60dB S/N ratio (approximately. 10-bit).
#SoundEngine #SovietSynths #Vintage
The Soviet-era 3-oscillator Aelita synth - 3-part unison, glissando, and built like a tank. Fat and crazy-resonant filters that take your head clean off.
Fat, imperfect, & a little noisy.
#SoundEngine #SovietSynths #Vintage
The Soviet-era Lell-22 captured EP, Clavi, Organ, and Banjo sounds, yet no one was arrested for the Banjo. It was cheap, but still could produce interesting sounds by appyling glissando and adjusting the envelopes.
#SoundEngine #SovietSynths #Vintage
With both a noise and osc for generating tones, along with AMP an FIL envelopes, the RITM-2 Soviet synth targeted both educational & pro musician Soviet markets.
Lots of sounds can be generated from this small synth.
