"Produced in the USSR in 1980s was intended as children's toy (note the Dog picture) but quickly became a collector's item among electronic musicians and enthusiasts because of its massive analog warm sound.
Knobs: Volume / Lowpass Filter. Buttons: Power / Vibrato / OSC 32' / OSC 16' / OSC 8'. Number of octaves in a keyboard - 2 (24 Keys) Adjustable effects – Vibrato
Condition/repairs: Fully working (the capacitors have been changed) Standard 9v DC boss style connection has been installed (centre negative) Standard output (Jack 6.35) has been installed"
Two cool studio vids spotted and sent in via Soviet Space Child. First one above features Roland, Korg, and Yamaha half rack MIDI modules. Second one below is the full studio tour.
"Let's assemble a MIDI RackMountain! The idea is the same as the first MIDI Mountain: combine a bunch of MIDI synths together to make a mountain of musical goodness. But instead of just stacking it all up, this time it's going in an 8U rack-mount case! Plus a few upgrades, like a rack-mounted Roland MT-32, an 8-channel mixer and MIDI thru box, a clicky power strip, and more vintage General MIDI modules. Also a stupid equalizer, ha."
It's time to talk about my synth setup.

"I've put off talking about this stack of synthesizers, drum machines, and audio gear for long enough. Let's dive into the main LGR synth setup and what I do with it! I'm still an amateur with this but here's a bit of a studio tour anyway. Weird electronic music and cool sounds of all kinds, I just can't get enough!"
"'MARSH UDS'. It is a powerfull 6 channel analog drum synthesizer, produced in the USSR in 1980s. It has 6 identical channels (which can be used & edited freely). On every channel you can change: trigger signal sensitivity, base tone pitch, HF or LF, glissando, noise/tone ballance, noise decay, resonance, channel's volume. Each channel has trigger Input on a standart 1/4 mono Jack for 6 pads. It can be triggered from any drum pads like classic Simmons or modern Roland\Yamaha or any audio source - line outs of the drum machine or soundcard or CV Gate etc. The module has two stereo Outputs (1/4 Jack) ballanced & unballanced and one mono Headphone Output (1/4 Jack). This is an armoured antitank piece of gear and the sound it produces is very unique! Can synthesize huge pallete of sounds - from modern punchy BD & SD to classic 808 or 909 subs or claps e.t.c.. "

"Introducing eleven new Eurorack compatible modules – all of them authentic reproductions of original “System 100M” circuitry from 1975. With ultra-fat oscillators and creamy filters the sound became famous in the early 80s used by artists like Depeche Mode, Human League, Tears For Fears but also Vangelis, Tangerine Dream and even Aphex Twin.
If you’re into super-fat bass sounds, in-your-face leads or flowing soundscapes, definitely check them out! All modules are incredibly feature rich, have tremendous patching capabilities and a lot of them come with dual function, like:
- 112 dual oscillator with 3 waveforms, PWM and two sync modes
- 121 dual filter with 3-channel mixer per filter
- 130 dual VCA, again with dual 3-channel mixers
- 140 dual envelope has 3 outputs per ADSR plus a built in LFO that can be triggered and phase synced
- 173 gates module comes even with four gates that can switch audio and 6 quad buffered multiples
- 297 has a dual portamento controller plus two independent CV mixers
- 150 brings a ring modulator, 2 noise generators, syncable LFO and a sample and hold generator
- 172 module delivers a 6-step phase-shifter, an analog delay, an LFO and a gate delay
- 305 is an output module a four-band parametric EQ, a 4-channel mixer, line and separate headphone output and even a tuning oscillator
- 182 there is a powerful analog sequencer with either dual 8 steps or 1-16 steps and tempo, portamento and gate time controls
- 110 is a complete synth voice with VCO, VCA and filter in a single module

Update: Word is this might be an AMSynths joint project. From their website:
"Behringer Partnership In June 2019 I joined forces with Behringer to design analog synthesizers that will be manufactured in China and sold to customer across the world. I am working on a number of projects which I will let Behringer announce when they are ready. AMSynths is continuing to grow with more Euro Rack modules being manufactured, as well as complete synthesizers like the SH05 and Jupiter One. In 2019 I started to restore vintage music gear, and you will see the repair stories in my Blog. I am also creating videos of my modules and the vintage synths that they emulate."
Update: some product sheet scans in in via Soviet Space Child and a note on one of the forums from Uli.
"I like to share with you the initial drafts of our M100 Eurorack Series.
These are 13 MID's or concept documents we create for every single product as part of our PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) process before we hand them over to our R&D departments for development.
We haven't decided yet which of these modules we will actually produce as it is important that we achieve a certain production volume.
As usual do we appreciate your valuable feedback which will give a better indication of validity of these products.
Thanks!
Uli"

"Synthomania is a synthesizer exhibition and swap meet hosted by Syntaur. We’re putting dozens of rare vintage synths on display, and you get to spend quality time with them. Lay hands on a Yamaha CS-80, experience a rare Soviet analog synth, or play Syntaur’s signature Juno-107! If you can't bear the thought of going home without a certain keyboard, don't worry, most of the synths on display will be for sale.
For Synthomania 2018, we're also hosting a line-up of synth artists performing live on stage. There's no better place to hang out and groove to live music than Paper Tiger, and whether you want to sip a soda or enjoy a cold brew, you will be well accommodated. It’s a family-friendly environment, so bring along the spouse and kids. As the swap meet and exhibit wrap up, you can move to the main stage for Gary Numan’s concert, the San Antonio performance on his second Savage tour! (Tickets are required for this performance.)
With some fantastic door prizes, you may just be going home with a new treasure. But aside from just the gear, Synthomania is also a great place to hang out with synth fans! With so many enthusiastic players in front of so many amazing keyboards, you'll never run out of things to talk about."

There are 12 videos in this playlist by martinjazz78. They start with Moog's recently discontinued Minimoog Model D followed by the Voyager. Other gear featured include Analogue Solutions Telemark - K, the Dreadbox Erebus, DSI Polyevolver, Sequentix Cirklon, and a Rhodes. There are a couple of live band performances in there as well.
Playlist:
1. New Minimoog D - Brass Patch Solo - Complete Session
2. New Minimoog D - Brass Patch Solo #2 with Rhodes, Telemark and Erebus
"Published on Jan 11, 2017
This is complete session video of my dawless improvisation on the new Minimoog Model D. I started with sort of brass patch with filter modulation and filter tweaking and little bit more of glide, but it develops and changes to not so brassy lead throughout the video. Sequences on the background are Erebus by Dreadbox and Telemark-K as well as DSI Polyevolver.
