ESTRADIN-314 SOLARIS ANALOG Organ String machine

via this auction
"A cross between an organ and stringmachine. Wonderfully sounding filter with envelope, vibrato and wah, freely mixable footages. Uniquely sounding Soviet instrument.

• This auction synth was made in May 1990 in USSR. Serial number 06316.

• Solaris uses organ style drawbars to create the basic tone, and has a analog filtering as well.

• Inside it has 12 voice boards that correspond to each key in an octave, and then uses a divide down system to get to the other octaves.

• There is only one filter and envelope in it which means when you hit another note it will retrigger the envelope like many other synths with full polyphony,

• The filter itself is really extreme and sounds fantastic, as well the envelope is really punchy, so you get great synth stabs, sweeps and percussive organ sounds.

• I would describe the overall sound of the synth as 70's funky. Its smooth and buttery, not harsh. It would work well for disco, or early style hip hop, or 70s fusion jazz.

• If you use the envelope section carefully you can get great moogy leads, in the high resisters it can sound like a string machine, or even a Theremin if you crank the resonance. It has tons of character.

• Connection on the rear panel : Volume pedal input with 5-Din connectors ( original pedal is included), Audio OUTPUT with standard 1/4' jack, power wire connection: standard figure 8 type (220/240V), fuse (0,5A) ."

"THIS SYNTHESIZER STARTED A REVOLUTION!" (see the ad below)

"This is a very rare and unusual modular sound synthesizer. Only about a few hundred of the EML-200's were made, and this one has the sought after blue face. The EML-200 modular synthesizer is a vintage synth fanatics dream come true. Its capable of sounding like nothing else you have ever heard. It's a cross between a musical patchable synth like a Moog or ARP 2600 and RAW test equipment - great for someone who needs really science fiction sound effects, drones or crazy tones - oscillator sweeps, pings, bleeps, huge reverberating swells, clangy metallic sounds, fat drum sounds, percussion, harsh noises, you name it! The tone of the EML-200 is very different from that of any other manufacturer. It can be raw, nasty and harsh but also pure, floaty and lush. Nothing sounds spacier than this things spring reverb! Great for the experimental musician or sound designer / noisician. It's a great stand alone unit but also makes a terrific companion to the EML-101, EML-300 sequencer, and other ElectroComp products, or cross patch it with your other analog gear for variety! You can also control the EML-200 with a variety other external analog sequencers. I believe you can also have an experienced technician install a midi to cv converter so you can hook up an external midi type keyboards and sequencers if you like. It's also a really unique processing tool for other sound sources such as a microphones, guitars, keyboards, etc. There's a mic preamp so you can patch external sounds through the electro comp's high pass and low pass filters, TWO ring modulators, 3 oscillators, etc to create all kinds of stereo effects, vocoder or whatever else you can dream up.

"Originally designed to be used an educational tool in schools for the beginning electronic composer. They wanted a synthesizer that could stand up to young exploring hands and 10 hours a day use, so needless to say it's very durable and sturdy. You can't make a wrong patch, anything is possible!

Manufactured by Electronic Music Laboratories in Vernon, CT, USA."
