1981 HOHNER VOX5 Analog-Midi-synthesizer/Expander

via this auction
"The HOHNER VOX5 was developed in the 80s as a full equipment for accordion solo entertainer. It was also at that time so highly developed and best quality that only professionals could afford almost...

A special feature is that the velocity characteristics of the instruments can be manipulated. this way can create entirely new sound effects.

In keeping with the trend of the analog sound generation fascinated by this rare piece of '80s analog sounds with incredibly great.

These sounds - the drums, guitars, bass, flutes and the outstanding organ sounds are characterized by the fact that they do not sound synthetic, but a pleasantly soft yet accurate and exhibit dynamic analog sound. You ask how digital operation via MIDI with analog sounds are compatible? Although synthetically generated and therefore MIDI-compatible - the sounds come from extremely large, high quality and from today's perspective superredundanten ICs and microprocessors.

Yes, in the '80s, the circuits were so solid that they have for the sound generation characteristic of a completely analogous. Hence the great sounds - which is why the early analog synthesizers of the '80s with connoisseurs looking incredibly delicious treat!

TOM 1501 RARE VINTAGE USSR SOVIET ANALOG SYNTHESIZER


via this auction

"It's a string machine with 5 preset sounds: Piano, clavesin/Harpsichord, Alto, Violin and Brass. Alto and Violin are exactly same sound but violin is one octave higher than alto, so you can make "string orchestra" sound. Mainly I discovered this to be like Crumar Orchestrator/Multiman-s clone. Piano and clavesin/harpsichords are pretty identical sounding, but... Strings aren't typical "Italic" sounding which can be found on all crumar and some others string machines, Neither european (solina) or american (Moog opus) sounding. They are UNIQUE! They are FAT! They are WARM!..."

Tom-1501 - 61-note (F-F) string / brass / piano multi-keyboard. This one reminds Crumar multi-keyboards. Nearly all controls on sliders on sloping back panel. Splittable. Vibrato depth, speed. Brass filter AR, resonance and cutoff. Preset sounds, mixable, include piano, clavinet, orchestra (violin, alto, contrabass), brass. Chorus. Piano has separate out. Made at the Tula factory. Size: 920 x 360 x 195 mm. Weight: 13 kg

PANEL PARAMETERS:

- VOLUME: phones level, 5-din out
- VIBRATO (LFO): depth, rate, tuning
- VOLUME GLOBAL: strings, bass (+on/off), piano
- BRASS-FILTER: attack, decay, resonance, cutoff
- LEFT MANUAL: piano, clavichord, alto, viola, brass (+on/off)

Tom-1501 provides very impressive analog sound, it is convenient for modeling of really fat strings and warm pads, classic brasses and horns, old space leads, vintage piano sounds, layered combinations etc..
