Shruthi-1 new features

YouTube via mutableinstruments — June 20, 2010 — "A boring videos that only die-hard Shruti-1 users will probably enjoy... Features a bunch of new UI things:
- snap mode for knobs
- display settings
- encoder navigation and editing
- and a quick tour of the new sequencer pages"

Just fooling around with 2 polychained Shruthi and some of the presets

"mutableinstruments — June 20, 2010 — The Shruthi-1 is a re-engineered and spec'ed up version of the Shruti-1, with a choice of different boards for the analogue section. This time we won't say that we've ran out of vintage ICs, since it can work without (indeed the filter board used for this video only uses modern and widely available ICs) ... But if you have vintage IC, we'll have a filter board for that!

Lame video quality, lame keyboard action, but shruthiesque sounds and epic platypus takeoff!"

Oberheim Midi SEM analog synthesizer

YouTube via kennykeyboard — June 20, 2010 — "I reposted this due to user comment. New Oberheim synth is a remake of the old SEM with the only upgrade being the Midi converter. It has the usual 2 oscillators, multimode filter, LFO, and two ADS envelopes. I twist dials and push buttons on the monosynth."

ELEKTRONIKA EM-04 Analog Synth String Machine POLY 1985

SN 851121 via this auction

English panel translation below.

"This seems to have appeared in two very different forms. Both have sets of sliders to the left of the keyboard and in three sections behind it; but one is a neater, flatter machine with a carrying handle at the front, while the other has fold-down legs, a little Farfisa-like, and a reverse-color keyboard for the bottom two octaves.

• EM-04 HAS A FOUR MAIN SECTIONS OF CONTROL:

1-st GROUP (left manual) - attack, sustain, bass, violin, alto, string, orchestral, brass
BRASS FILTER - attack, sustain (level, on/off), cutoff, resonance
2-nd GROUP (right manual) - attack, sustain, bass, violin, alto, string, orchestral, brass
MASTER - fine tuning, main volume level, tone (brightness), slalom (pitch slide), hawaii (finger pitch controller).

• There is a one master oscillator in this instrument. Due to this oscillator a possibility of instrument detuning in the process of operation is eliminated.

• Because of split of the manual into 2 sections, the volume of each group may be adjusted.

FILTER GENERATOR IS FOR BRASS SECTION ONLY.

• Connection on the rear panel: Audio OUTPUT with standard 1/4' jack, pedal switch ON/OFF, pedal input on 5-DIN, power wire connection (220/240V), fuse (0,5A) ."

Original Oberheim SEM Module

via this auction

"The SEM is in full working order and good condition considering it's 35 years old. It's a very rare early model with the 1080B board. It allegedly has a slightly different filter sound and envelope but to be honest, I think you'd be hard pushed to tell the difference between this and the later revision."
