"FAEMI (produced at Kachkanar radio factory, 1979) is a monophonic electronic keyboard intended for the performance of music works of all kinds. It can be used both as a separate solo instrument and in small amateur ensembles.

The keyboard of the device has 3 octaves, from F till E included. The width of the keys and their arrangement correspond to the accordion keyboard. The sound range of the device amounts to 6 octaves, which provides the possibility of reproducing any note of standard equal temperamental pitch from F in the controctave to E in the 4-th octave. The coverage of the range is reached by successive switching on the four main register key switches 5, 6, 7, and 8. Varying combinations of activated switches (one, two, three, or four), and adding to them a supplementary register switch (fourth from the left), it is possible to get 19 sound variants differing in pitch and timbre. It provides a performer with wide opportunities, enabling him to simulate the sounds of some well-known instruments and to form new original timbres immediately in the course of music performance.

By switching on the switch 3, one can soften the timbre of the sound due to lowering the level of hight registers. The switch 2 play the automatic frequency vibrato function, which adds warmth to the sound and makes it more melodic. The desired depth of vibration is set by the regulator "Vibration". The design and the arrangement of the volume regulator makes it possible to change the volume in the course of performance in order to make it more impressive. With the help of the regulator "Fine-tuning", it is possible to fine-tune Faemi to other instruments in case it is used in ensemble performance. Both internal and external sources of direct current with the voltage 9V, including a rectifier placed in the AC circuit, may be used as sources of power supply.

Creating of various timbres is carried out on the basis of the register synthesis method. The combination of semiconductor devices with printed circuitry makes it possible to lower the size and the weight of the instrument and to ensure high reliability and efficiency.
Faemi is designed in a light metal case with a separable plastic top. For transportation, the instrument is placed in a jacket and covered with a protective flap.The jacket is equipped with a belt for carrying. The design of the jacket provides the possibility of music performance in motion.

Specifications:

— Keyboard - 3 octaves (36 keys) from F till E
— Number of the registers - 1', 2', 4', 8', tutti (organ), synthetic bass, and others (19 variants of the sound)

"it's polyphonic synthesizer/strings. In the complete set to synth an original case, an external power unit, connecting cord. It runs on 220V AC.

This synth has grip on the left side out of body, for use like a guitar. It has 4 octave keyboard starting from F till E (velocity sensitive). Control knobs on the grip - unison/chorus switch;- volume fader;- pitch bend fader;- octave switch.
Synthesis sections: - TUNING zone: 2 X small screws for tuning; - MODULATIONS zone: depth; frequency; delay; switch between filter/oscillator; - FILTER zone: range; brightness; depth; - ENVELOPE zone: attack; decay; level; - PRESET zone (this synth has some presets, but presets can be turned on or off; keyb control knob; screen - 2 digi/number led - showing bank/preset as well as small 'commas'indicating if preset is turned off and if keyb contrl is turned off; on/off switch; - CONNECTIONS: this one has just 2 X 5din connectors. One is output, the other is AC in. "

"back panel:
- power switch on/off
- power cable (built in)
- fuse (0,15 A)
- 4 X trigger outs
- 4 X trigger ins
- 4 X sensitivity (screw)

front page:
each of 4 voices have following controlls:
- attack (knob ... podhod)
- tone (knob ... ton)
- decay (knob ... zatuhanije)
- filter (knob ... filjtr)
- balance (knob ... balans)
- tone/noise (switch ... ton/shum)
- volume knob
- trigger led

else, on the right side there is:
- power on led
- channels 1,2 or 1+2 (switch)
- channels 3,4 or 3+4 (switch)
- click (switch - off, 0-300 ... metronom)
- output volume knob

well, click or metronom plays on channel 1 ... if you choose 1+2 (or 3+4) switch then same trigger triggers both voices (incl. click). Which is 4 voice plus sequencer. 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 OR SYNC ARE INSTALLED."

"Formanta UDS vintage analog Drum machine & Trigger module / "Brain" ... usually use it as a sound module triggered from an 808 or 707, it originally was produced to be used in conjunction with the 80's style hexagon drum pads which is still possible. you can find more information here or here It's a 7 channel analog Drum machine and trigger-able module. Produced around 1986. 5 independent channels of drum sound synthesis. Additional channels for cymbal and hi-hat synth sounds. Controls for each channel: input signal sensitivity, tone pitch, pitch envelope time, pitch modulation, noise/tone balance, filter's cutoff for noise, accent ,volume. Oscillators: VCO + Noise, Oscillators Waves: sawtooth, square. Onboard drummachine with 16 preset drum patterns. You can switch every drum sound channel to its preset sound or switch it in "synthesis" mode and then control channel's parameters by 8 knobs. The drum machine and the synthesizer are independent modules so they can work at the same time freely. And you can tweak the generators of the beatbox patterns. Connectors on on the rear panel - 7 AUDIO IN for each drum channel, Mono AUDIO out, Left /Right OUT. Pedal Inputs. All connectors are on standard 1/4 '' jack."
