"Aside the Polivoks and Estradin, Aelita belong to the 'great three' of Soviet synths. Boasting 3 oscillators, fat filter, it's also full of unusual features, like unison, absolutely unique on monosynths, that delivers a fat, vicious tone. The look of the instrument is absolutely unusual, too. All in all, it's one of the USSR greatest."

via this auction (samples there while up) "very interesting handmade drum module that was made for personal use in Soviet Union in 80`s. Device has 5 channels of analog drum synthesis, any channel devide on TONE and NOISE sections and has balance between them. It has 5 Inputs for triggers and 5 line Outputs from channels. You can trigger it from drum pads(trigers) or from any audio output - drum machine, analog out of soundcard etc. All connectors are on standart 1/4 monojacks. It runs from 220-240V, for use it with 110V you will need power adapter from 110V to 220V.
EDS-5 has it`s own original sound, it can produce - fat analog bass drums, varied electro snares, claps, toms, hats, weird analog fx`s etc. that will be great for any freaky sonic experiments!
EDS-5 drum module in good working condition and is fully checked before this auction. Cosmetically it has some marks of time on metal body but overall looks good for such old equipment see actual pictures.
Controls for each channel Drum section: input level, start, stop, glide, tone, decay. Balance Tone/Noise. Noise section: dry(filter), decay. Main volume."

Poem: The Beast arises from an aunnum's slumber Driven by an endless hunger. His crimson eye in search of blood From your veins shall come the scarlet flood.
Into the night the hunter prowls. Through cobblestone streets and warewolf howls. The Prey so easily seduced, its sweet. To The beconing call of Trick or Treat.
Ahh, a bit of reluctance at the door, Of corse you know, this means war.
Etherferatu spies from afar This victim's name he soon shall call.
The master of the night retires To his coffin.....(Hey your food is ready) Mommy, Im dubbing vocals, I told you never to bother me when im dubbing voals. Oh this is live? This mic is still on? (Oh Crap)

Have a fun Halloween everyone! I'll be drinking some of that MATRIXSYNTH wine tonight. :) Be sure to click on the Halloween label below for all Halloween posts. The wine is a 2005 Northwest Cellars Merlot. It won the Finger Lakes Int'l Double Gold award. BTW, you can get your own custom labels through them. If you do, let them know you found out about them here. :)
YouTube via simonsound1 "Just got this synth (on loan) yesterday and I've spent the day exploring its functions. So far I'm loving the built in spring reverb (watch/listen to what happens when I shake it!) and the voltage controlled panning. Here is a very short clip of some spooky halloween sounds. Looking forward to using this in some tracks and for some FX in the upcoming Simonsound podcast mix.
Don't forget, The Simonsound cover of Tour de Mars is out on the 2nd of November!!!!"
"A quite swedish halloween movie, made with the latest in swedish film technology. Guitar and Theremin soundtrack. Enjoy! Lagom seriös Halloweenfilm för Moogtävling... Av Simon och Filip" Pure analog sound on the night of halloween.
Update: Unfortunately some of the videos below have been pulled from YouTube. I'll keep the descriptions here for synth history.
