"It is a 3-OSC monophonic precise equivalent of infamous western MINIMOOG MODEL D, produced in the USSR in 1986 by Elektroizmeritel military factory in Zhitomir. Altair-231 is a refined version of another well-known soviet analog synthesizer Estradin-230. Both synths has identical electronic architecture, functionality and rich sound palette. Estradin-230 was manufactured from early to middle eighties and then Estradin factory changed synth`s design (new casing) and labelled it as "Altair-231". So Estradin-230 & Altair-231 are the same machines only in different bodies.

Synth has 4-octave keyboard (F-C) with velocity (sensitivity assign to vibrato effect). For live performance there is a wheel which provides pitch shift. ALTAIR-231 is based on 3-VCO (OSC-3 can work as the modulator), 1 VCF (lowpass 24dB/oct) with ADSR, 1 VCA, 3 LFO, noise generator (white/pink), glide, memory. It has an EXTERNAL INPUT allowing to use FILTER and GENERATORS with OTHER INSTRUMENTS such as guitars, synths, etc! ALTAIR-231 consists of 5 main sections - OSC, MIXER, MODULATION, FILTER and AMP."

Yamaha CS-60 8-Voice Synthesizer

"Fully functional Yamaha CS60 synth. It has just been fully serviced by Retrolinear in the Philadelphia area. Retrolinear knows CS60s very well - they routinely service them for clients, including a few touring musicians who are still using them (Page McConnell of Phish being one of his clients). I have attached the invoice showing details of the work.

Functionally - Every slider, switch, the ribbon controller, and especially important, the aftertouch all work flawlessly. All voices function and are in tune.

Cosmetically - My CS60 is in excellent shape. The silkscreen is near perfect and the entire control panel has only like 2 very small chips and one scrape mark from a fader cap digging into the panel (pictured). The two chips are just above the keybed so don't take away from the cleanliness of the control panel (one is pictured). The tolex on the case is original and in very good condition - again, excellent considering its age.

Overall - This synth was never abused. It spent most of its life in the home of a musician - it was never toured.

The original tolexed hard cover and removable music stand are included - the stand attaches to the inside of the lid. I do not have the original legs. The CS-60 gets you most of the CS-80 sound at a fraction of the cost. The aftertouch truly adds to the expressiveness of the synth."

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"The legendary Emulator II in almost flawless physical condition. One owner since 1987, a studio machine that's never traveled. Used very little in the last 15 years, so may need some maintenance, but seems to function perfectly. The only known flaw is that the backlight on the display no longer works. Includes foot pedal and two foot switches, and 48 x 5 1/4" floppy disks with original E-mu samples. Some are original E-mu discs, some are copies. Also 18 unused 5 1/4" floppy disks, 10 new in a sealed box. Original manual also included. Shipping is high because of weight (60 lbs) and size"

Moog Sonic 6 - Modulation (X/Y) Depth Wheel...

Published on Oct 29, 2017 noddyspuncture

"Just finished adding a modulation wheel to my Sonic 6. Although the Sonic has an X/Y amount control for each oscillator section, if you wanted to add let's say, an equal vibrato effect to both oscillators you couldn't really do it - not whilst also playing anyway. So I decided to tap into the circuit and add a small box containing a stereo pot and a miniature mod wheel assembly I bought on eBay. It works a treat - and I also added a 'bypass' switch which takes the modification out of circuit. The moulded plastic tray behind the keyboard also has some nice compartments in which to install the thing. Had to position it carefully though so that the wheel didn't foul the knobs when the lid was down... no drilling was done and it's totally reversible...!"

Best Ambient Synth Shootout #41: Yamaha VL7 - Song 3

Published on Oct 29, 2017 Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is the third song with the Yamaha VL7 Version 2. It's a monophonic synthesizer based on physical modelling algorithms. The song is a kind of deep ambient without drums ;-)

I used for the recording the following FX chain:
VL7 - TC Electronic Mimiq - DigiTech Obscura- DigiTech Polara. The used fx varied depending on the recorded track.

The signal goes via a small Behringer mixer straight into the pc.

To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. The final song was then mastered with just a bit EQ and compression on some tracks and some limiting on the master track."
