Alisa Analog 2 OSC Mono Synthesizer

via this auction

"THE SYNTHESIZER WAS MADE IN RUSSIA IN THE EARLY 1980'S. It makes a unique rough sound which many other russian synth also seem to make. Its more like signal-generators from the sixties that synth-sound from the eighties. Yet its sound has character and depth and is definitely not in any VA-synth! I'LL INCLUDE THE ENGLISH FRONT PANEL TRANSLATION."
