"Also branded as 'Formanta Uds' it is a powerfull 7 channel analog drum synthesizer, produced by the same FORMANTA factory in Kachkanar city where famous Polivoks synths were manufactured in eighties. It has 5 identical channels (which can be used & edited freely) for BASS DRUM, HIGH TOM, MIDDLE TOM, LOW TOM, SNARE and two channels for Hi-hats and Cymbals. In every channel you can change: trigger signal sensitivity, base tone pitch, pitch envelope time, amount of pitch modulation, noise/tone ballance, filter's cutoff for noise, accent amount, channel's volume. The synth has also built-in beatbox with 16 patterns. The beatbox and the synthesizer are independent modules so they can work at the same time freely. And you can tweak the generators of the beatbox patterns. Full freedom. You can switch every synthesis channel to its preset sound or switch it in "synthesis" mode and then control channel's parameters by 8 knobs. Each channel has trigger Input on a standart 1/4 mono Jack for pads (not included) and two additional Inputs for pedals (not included). It can be triggered from any other drum pads like classic Simmons or modern Roland\Yamaha or any audio source - Line Outs of the drum machine or soundcard etc. The synth has two parallel mono Outs (1/4 Jack and 5Din) and two parallel stereo Outs (left-right on 1/4 Jacks and 5Din). This is an armoured antitank piece of gear and the sound it produces is very unique!"
