This appears to be the first one ever posted on MATRIXSYNTH.

"First time on Ebay an extremely rare Soviet vintage analog electronic drum synthesizer "POLYGON UDS". It is an "offspring" of infamous "Marsh UDS" which differs only by different casing (Poligon is a rack) and all inscriptions in English. Intended to be an export device for western market. It is a powerfull 5 channel analog drum synthesizer, produced in the USSR in 1980s. It has 5 identical channels (which can be used & edited freely, inscriptions like "snare", "bass" e.t.c. are just nominal). On every channel you can change: trigger signal sensitivity, base tone pitch, HF or LF, glissando, noise/tone ballance, noise decay, click, channel's volume. Each channel has trigger Input on a standart 1/4 mono Jack for 5 pads. It can be triggered from any drum pads like classic Simmons or modern Roland\Yamaha or any audio source - line outs of the drum machine or soundcard or CV Gate etc. The module has two stereo Outputs (1/4 Jack) ballanced & unballanced and one mono Headphone Output (1/4 Jack). This is an armoured antitank piece of gear and the sound it produces is very unique! Can synthesize huge pallete of sounds - from modern punchy BD & SD to classic 808 or 909 subs or claps e.t.c.."
