"Altair 231 is an almost identical copy of the famous Moog Minimoog, made in the former Soviet Union. Biggest difference in sound is caused by different brand of components: Russian equivalents are used everywhere. The oscillator board is based on the older version. However, the Russians were clever and used multi-turn potentiometers for the scaling controls. Result: Synth stays in tune better. The Russians didn't seem to have reverse log pots. Because of that, the resonance control was wired backwards and a regular logarithmic pot was used instead. Other than that, the synth seems to be very robust and easy to service - the real Mini schematics come for good help when comparing the component numbers etc. It sounds like a Mini!"
"It was manufacture on 'Estradin' military radio plant in Zhitomir city in November 1986. The serial number of the unit -3345."
"Soviet analogue drum synth Formanta UDS with beatbox drummachine and a built-in beatbox with 16 patterns. You can switch every drum sound channel to its preset sound or switch it in "synthesis" mode and then control channel's parameters by 8 knobs. The synth was made on the same factory as legendary Polivoks was. The beatbox and the synthesizer are independent modules so they can work at the same time freely. Each of five drum channels have polivoks filter. High-hat and cymbal have there own channels. 7 audio in connectors on the rear panel for each drum channel - mono audio out, left /right out. Pedal inputs. All connectors are on standard 1/4 '' jack. There is also a stereo output. You can use trigger module inputs to send signal from an external device through synchro impuls. All drums and high-hat work well. Cymbal works quieter than other. Inside on the resistors of each drum line there are full ADSR polivoks filter. If you wish, you can make a modd and take it out with knobs. All knobs are clean, without noise. Also look foto with English translation of face panel."

The Digitakt is here, and the Octatrack just got a new MKII update. Which one to choose!? They are overlapping in what they can do, but I think they are different enough to justify that Elektron keeps selling both of them.
So here's a mega workflow comparison video where I'm comparing them side by side in a number of aspects. It's a bit long, but if you're interested in this stuff, I hope you'll find the video interesting.
Cheers
