Up for sale is legendary, very rare & powerful soviet analog synthesizer
"ALTAIR-231". 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.
(for all technical
specifications check the "Features" section below).
The inclined desk is divided into the following functional sections: Modulator,
Generator #1, Generator #2 or #3, Mixer and Amplifier. They give one a
possibility to synthesize a broad spectrum of sounds and to change sounding at
any time.
There are 3 internal audible signal sources in the instrument: to broad-ranged
of the Generators with changed form of oscillations and a noise generator for
creating a non-musical sounds such as wind, surf, whine, etc.
Possibility to connect an external audible signal sources to the synthesizer is
provided for (e.g. guitars, electro pianos and electro organs). Sounds of
different external sources are combined separately in the mixer in any ratio.
There is a filter in the synthesizer with cutoff frequency control to change
color of timbre of audilble signal over a wide range.
Both Estradin synths have
fat and rich vintage analog sound with it`s own character and can be compared
to Minimoog model D synthesizer.
ALTAIR-231 is one of the most impressive vintage Soviet synthesizers. It has
inimitable peculiar sound and very powerful filters. A fat, lush and very
analogue sound with the unique architecture of the Soviet-era components; in
addition, highly reliable military technologies were applied in the process of
production. The synthesizer is universal & may be used for hard electronic
music, or for soft ambient/old school projects and for modeling various effects
as well...endless possibilities
