Click here for shots via this auction. "Synth was made in 80's years in USSR. Aelita is rare synthesizer actually much more rare than well known polyvox soviet synth. Aelita's sound can be very organic, mellow and very fat, agressive also. Synthesizer has very original "transformer" design with removing main operation panel. It is the soviet version of famous minimoog synth. It is big and fat sounding synth. One of the best analog mashines prodused by soviet music industry.
Aelita has three oscillators with square, pulse and saw waveforms.There is LFO with triangle,square,saw and ramp waveforms.Every oscillator can be independently detuned in one octave range. We have possibilities in any chord playing here.You can switch oscillators from 32' to 2' registers.Every oscillator has it's own level slider in mixer section.Oscillator's pitch can be modulated by LFO and first oscillator can be modulated by third oscillator.Than we have nice sounding moog type 24db lowpass filter with screaming resonanse and fat low end.Filter has it's own ADS envelope, keyboard tracking and can be modulated by LFO.VCA has it's own ADS envelope with release switch.There is unussual unison mode when you can get signal of all oscillators in 4 registers in one time. Dimensions: 310x350x920 mm. Weight: 18 kg."
The Aelita is the most goddamn evil sounding synth I've ever heard
ReplyDeleteThe free Virtual Aelita is wicked.. reasonably close to that evil sound. http://rpocc.livejournal.com/50835.html
