Rmif_Ti-3_vintage soviet synth

Polyphonic programmable digital-analog synthesizer with built’n sequencer and arpeggiator. A true 8-voice analog polyphonic with KP580BM80A based controller, 16 digitally synced analog oscillators, 8 MOOG-like discrete ladder filters, 1 SAW_UP/SAW_DOWN/TRIANG/SQUARE LFO, 1 noise source, 256 memory presets in four banks (192 ROM, 64 RAM), sequencer and UP/DOWN/UP_AND_DOWN arpeggiator. Four AA type batteries are used for memory back_up. Modulation of pitch, VCA, VCF and waveform is possible. Polyphonic and monophonic modes are provided. Monophonic mode is quite complex and unusual. Some of these sounds resemble ready chords sampled and played back at a different pitch. Monophonic portamento may be used in auto and antiauto modes (in terms of Roland SH101). Polyphonic portamento action sounds a little bit similar to JUPITER 8. The weight of this device is about 17-18 kilograms. Designed approx. 1985, assembled in CCCP Latvia.
