OPUS soviet synthesyzer


Published on Mar 20, 2015 Strangesoundful

Here's an interesting bit of synth history. I believe this is the first time this version of the OPUS polyphonic soviet synthesizer has been featured here on MATRIXSYNTH. You can see another version, minus the yellow and different style knobs, in this post and this post.

"'Opus' was produced at the Riga musical instruments factory.
The instrument consists of 4 sections: piano, that synthesizes piano's soundings of 3 timbres, string organ, that plays organ's sounding with soft attack and with the possibility to control release, with the pereodically repeated beat-fading sounds. There is a bass section, that is controlled by 2 lower octaves, that contain three 8' and two 16' registers. It plays sounding of the bass drum."
