RITM-2

images via this auction
" A rare subtractive analog synth, manufactured in 1982 by the Kirov radio plant in the former Soviet Union is here now! Fully functional! There is an original soviet factory structure - i.e. method of synthesis, knob resistors, parts, connections, voltage etc. It runs on 220V AC (US customers will need an adaptor). NO MIDI, CV-GATE OR SYNC ARE INSTALLED.

HERE DESCRIPTIONS FROM BOOK "VINTAGE SYNTH'S A-Z" BY PETER FORREST:

Ritm-2: 32-note (F-C) 1-VCO monophonic synth.
- Neat little synth with a mix of knobs and sliders. Sprung pitch-bend
wheel; modulation slider. Portamento / glissando; LFO - saw, triangle or
random; VCO: three waveforms; noise; VCF with resonance, switchable key
follow. Two ADSRs.
- This seems to have a feel of early Korg about it - nice. Made in the
Kirov factory."

"Rhodes Chroma (Originally an ARP project) 16-voice Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer with JL Cooper MIDI interface now for sale. Registration # 21030348. Cosmetic condition is fair to good. All Voices tune. The Chroma (Quite a rare synth) comes with a box of manuals, factory-patch cassette tapes, and two extra voice-cards. (I believe these 2 extra-Voice-cards are not working)"

No whimpies

"The SK20 adds the POLY-SYNTH SECTION: a 7-note polyphonic synthesizer with basic filter, pitch, envelope, and portamento controls. It features two (detuneable) oscillators per voice so it's good for thick pads. It lacks any bite whatsoever and, even in normal attack mode, has way too slow an envelope to be used for any bass or percussion sounds. But, the pads and strings you can get certainly shine and glitter like Bowie a-la Ziggy Stardust (especially when layered with the Strings section). It's like a good entry-level synthesizer. Basic and simple LFO, filters and ADSR envelopes. It has a built-in sustain and the Tremolo and Ensemble chorus effect also apply to this section."

"Yes this is the Roland SH-101, a classic synth produced in 1983, used by the likes of Orbital and Squarepusher to name just two. Great synth, shit video...yeah this is a boring video I did it because I was bored, how to make being bored boring...anyway I try to show a range of things the synth can do which is why there is a big gap between things happening or sounding good, it's obviously all improvised and this time it turned out bad. The video improves quite a bit at aprrox 3mins 15sec, where I jazz up the recording - don't hate me for this video it's just a day I lacked in creativity."

Energy Flash tribute TR909 TR808 TB303 + S1000


YouTube via pendlecoven
"A quick remake of the classic Techno track 'Energy Flash' by Joey Beltram, inspired by a floppy disc library i inherited, as the first disk had the Ecstasy sample on it. Sounds by the Roland TR909, TR808, TB303, SH09 and Akai S1000. Track recorded live to DAT and pasted over the footage. Enjoy!"
