Old soviet In/Out connectors was changed on good quality Amphenols. 3 Oscillators was fine tuned. Cheap original plastic sides was changed on great wooden. In two words the old machine reincarnated in new spaceship...
Altair has the same architecture as Minimoog model D and the sound is also very similar. But due to original soviet electronic parts it has it`s own unique character.
It has very fat and impressive analog sound with wide sound palette. It can produce fat analog basses, classic rock leads, hard razor waves, various space fx`s , noises, ambient textures etc... The filter is really extreme and sounds fantastic.
