Vermona Synthesizer
images via this auction"It is a 2-VCO monophonic analog synthesizer. It has most basic analog edit parameters. A 24 dB/oct analog VCF filter with 4 knobs (Brilliance, CutOff, Resonance, Contour), a single LFO to modulate the VCO or VCF sections and a typical ADSR VCA envelope. There are preset VCF and VCA settings as well as a Manual mode, but there is no real Patch setting storage available. Also absent are MIDI and CV or Gate."

RITM-2
images via this auction"A rare subtractive analog synth, manufactured in 1982 by the Kirov radio plant in the former Soviet Union is here now! Fully functional! There is an original soviet factory structure - i.e. method of synthesis, knob resistors, parts, connections, voltage etc. It runs on 220V AC (US customers will need an adaptor). NO MIDI, CV-GATE OR SYNC ARE INSTALLED.
HERE DESCRIPTIONS FROM BOOK "VINTAGE SYNTH'S A-Z" BY PETER FORREST [Check the Synth Books section on the right for this book and more]:
Ritm-2: 32-note (F-C) 1-VCO monophonic synth.
- Neat little synth with a mix of knobs and sliders. Sprung pitch-bend
wheel; modulation slider. Portamento / glissando; LFO - saw, triangle or
random; VCO: three waveforms; noise; VCF with resonance, switchable key
follow. Two ADSRs.
- This seems to have a feel of early Korg about it - nice. Made in the
Kirov factory."

Thanks, a Notice and a Request
The Thanks
Firat off, every day I receive tips on interesting things to post. I want to thank everyone that takes the time out to send me stuff. Thank you!
The Notice
That said, I also receive requests to either put stuff up that is not directly synth-related as well as stuff I've already posted. There was a time where I received such a request about once a week. Now I'm getting them daily. For each one I have to go search the site to make sure I did indeed already put it up. I've been very diligent about replying to every single email that comes in, however, moving forward I will not be replying due to the amount of time this is taking up. I figure if I was willing to search for every single email that comes in, it's not too much to ask for the person sending something in to check first. So... If you do not get a reply and wonder what happened, try searching the site via the top left search box for key words that might bring up the item, or ask yourself if the item you sent me is about the synth.
The Request
Moving forward, before you choose to send me something for a post, one, search for it on the top left search box and two, ask yourself if what you are sending actually showcases a given synth. The bar for what goes up is two fold - one it hasn't gone up before, and two, it showcases a given synth. I do not put up generic electronic music posts unless you can clearly see or hear the synths used.
BTW, I created Synthwire for others to post, including promoting their own music. If you have something you'd like to put up there, shoot me an email when the time comes and I will add you to that site.
