Synthasonic

Synthsonic, is a new synthesizer company that will be offering high quality frac modules.

Note that the site literally just went live at midnight PST. The first module listed is the 4 Pole LP Filter based on the Music From Outer Space filter.

"The company website will also host free product manuals and videos which will provide tutorials about modular synthesis, so it will hopefully serve the entire modular synth community, not just Synthasonic customers."

images via this auction

"Synth was made in 80's years in USSR. It is soviet version of the famous minimoog synth. Synthesizer has very original "transformer" design with removing main operation panel. Synth looks very industrial and military, like the soviet secret weapon.

Aelita has three oscillators with square, pulse and saw waveforms.There is LFO with triangle,square,saw and ramp waveforms.Every oscillator can be independently detuned in one octave range. We have possibilities in any chord playing here.You can switch oscillators from 32' to 2' registers.Every oscillator has it's own level slider in mixer section.Oscillator's pitch can be modulated by LFO and first oscillator can be modulated by third oscillator.Than we have moog type 24db lowpass filter with screaming resonanse.Filter has it's own ADS envelope, keyboard tracking and can be modulated by LFO.VCA has ADS envelope with release switch. There is unussual unison mode when you can get signal of all oscillators in 4 registers in one time. Aelita is fat sounding synth with quite unique sound due to original soviet analog circuitry and electronic components.

Dimensions: 870x330x170mm. Weight: 20kg. (packed synth)."

Gleeman Pentaphonic Demo Cassette

via this auction

"This is an original DEMO cassette for the amazing synthesizer: the Gleeman Pentaphonic. Which was a cool RARE 5-voice synth with some advanced features and cool digi waveforms thru analog processing. Amazing sound and even cooler when in the CLEAR case some came in. This will likely be the BEST Gleeman demo cassette you ever find. Go for it!"
