Vintage Synthesizer 3-83 UNISONO from Czechoslovakia

Published on Jun 5, 2012 Najvrtson

"This is a short video showing the sound possibilities of Synthesizer 3-83 Unisono - a very rare monophonic synthesizer made in Czechoslovakia in first half of eighties. The synthesizer has an unusual design with two VCO's, VCF one and one VCA with limited edit possibilities. The audio track was recorded by Jiri Krivka and given to me by Moimir Papalescu, the photo of the instrument was taken by Ivan Hirländer. My big thank to them!
Please, read more on http://czechkeys.blog.cz/0710/3-83-un... (using some translator - sorry, I'm too lazy to translate it :o))."
