"Yet another JMJ song... This is one of my favorites. Drums, Arpeggio, Lead and all the variations are programmed on the Nord Modular G2. Pad from Virus TI and Sample Hold FX from the Moog LP. Enjoy!"

"This is a great interview with Dieter Doepfer who makes Doepfer analog synthesizer modules, as well as other products. This particular interview is about his background/life/history and not about any specific products."

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."
