The Tiracon

Update: According to Lutz in the comment section, "This is a prototyp made in 1989 from AAC (Automatisierungs- und Anlagenbau Cottbus). It is a keyboard with presetsounds, some effects and a rhytm-machine inside. Its not a Synth !!!"

Update: Via Moogulator of seqencer.de. The Tiracon was not a by Vermona but actually a prototype that never went into production by an east german company. He didn't state the name. If I get it I'll include it. Would be an interesting bit of synth history to know.

Via Steveo on Sonic State's the-gas-station. Title link takes you to the post. Nothing on the Vermona site yet. Click image for a slightly bigger shot.

Update: Another synth, the Tiracon 6 is on the Vermona site.

Tiracon 6V sound demo

YouTube via MusicMiK. follow-up to this post.
"Those following me on twitter (SynthMiK) might have seen that i got a nearly complete Tiracon 6V to give the boards i recently showed an enclosure and make it a complete synth again.

In fact, i now have a completely working spare board set, because i was able to repair the ones that came with the synth also.

The restoration of this synth can be followed as a raw photo collection here: http://www.mik-music.org/gallery66
The power supply and the wooden side panels still need work, but this will take place in the near future.

I cut out my usual babble from the video to use the whole 10 minutes for the sound demo, the text has gone here this time.

I hope you have some fun :)"

Remember these videos?
Both peteness and Tiracon wrote in with some more info.
via peteness:
"Thanks for adding my unpretentious YouTube videos from Prague. That was the meeting of czech/ slovak internet forum "Electrozone". Electrozone is interested in mixing, recording, FXs, synthesizers since 2002....... The biggest analog freak of us is Bodyia. See his site [Syntetizéry].

There was a first synth's meeting in Bratislava one year ago. Here is some pics from Prague a week ago."
