1981 Soviet Consumer Electronics Catalog



This one spotted by Eric Barbour of METASONIX

"Including an 'Elektronika 003' keyboard, 'Elektronika RITM' drumbox, and two 'Spektr' effect pedals. The videotape recorders were mostly B&W only, and 15 years behind the Japanese VCRs of 1981 in technology.

And it didn't matter anyway---even though these prices were very low, the average Russian could not afford 95% of the contents of this catalog. A small portable TV was 160 roubles, at a time when the average factory worker made 140 roubles/month and a retired pensioner made maybe 60 roubles/month."

The working equipment is :GRP A 8 Sequenzer, GRP A8 Synthesizer, Effects. GRP, Doepfer Dark Energy, Roland Juno 60. Harmonics comes from der V-Synth and leads from the Minimoog."
Note the leopard skin minimoog.

Modular Beat Making on The B-Roll

"I set the rotating clock divider as the heart of the rhythm. As I recorded my beat I tried to switch up small variations such as muting a single drum or adjusting the decay of the snare. When I felt I recorded all of the variations I would switch patch cables on either the rotating clock divider or the envelope generators creating new beats."
