Sampling the Arturia DrumBrute Impact for a trip and dealing with noise.  

Changing cables, PS, & adding chokes did nothing. 

Lower the volume on the DB:I output and increase the input volume on your interface - that's the answer - proper gain staging.

The Soviet-era Altair 231 three oscillator synth with selectable waveforms for each . Low-pass filter with resonance and keyboard tracking. Portamento, indeed.

Imperfect, but not sure if it gets any fatter than this.

The Tom-1501 was a essentially a single manual keyboard organ circuit along with a filter. Interesting organ & string tones and a useful Harpsi-piano instrument.

Cheezy, a little noisy, & imperfect - in a good way.

The Elista drum module only generated 4 tones - Kick, Snare and 2 hats, but they were all good - very different from normal. 4 trigger ins & bundled with four pads.

Cheesy, imperfect, & a little noisy.

The Lell-UDS was an analog-based drum module that works with included drum triggers. Appears to be an addition to an acoustic kits, not a replacement. Tone and Noise controls for the 2 pads.

One of the 1st examples on integrated micros was the Mastro synth from the Soviet era. There were 20 recallable presets with Cutoff, Resonance & Chorus.  

Interesting Pitch/Mod joystick maniptulated the Filter.

The Soviet-era Formanta combo organ with a two osc synthesizer - plenty of buttons & controls for the organ, the synth, and the built-in vinbrato and stereo phaser.

Cheesy, imperfect, and a little noisy.

The Soviet-era RITM-1 combo organ with a choice of tones - Organ, string, & bass sounds - plus click. Rhythms include Waltz, Swing, Rhumba, Saba, Bossa Nova, Foxtrot, & R&B.

Cheesy, imperfect, & a little noisy.

The Junost (or Unost) Soviet keytar. Aluminum case w/ leather strap. Effective in repelling the opposite sex. Considered by Brezhnev & Gorbachev as "not a very good synth."

Unique appearance, but not much more.

The Soviet-era Drum Synth with trigger pads - it still slams. Trigger to play live or the built-in beats. Rhythms include Rock, Rumba, Samba, Bossanova, Waltz,Swing, Disco & Tango.

Cheesy, imperfect, & a little noisy.

The Marsh drum module & pads was targeting the replacement of an acoustic kit - 4 pads & a kick trigger allowed electronic synthesis of drum sounds with tone and noise generators (ENVS) for each pad.

This one kicks.

The Soviet-era Alisa-1377 synth - a 3 octave keyboard with four waveform choices and a warm, resonant filter.

Fat, imperfect and a little noisy, but solidly built.

The Soviet-era Alisa-1387 synth -a follow-on to the 1377 with two oscillators and selectable waveforms - killer hard sync. Filter & amp envelopes, resonance.

Fat & imperfect, but lots of new tones.

The Soviet-era Elektronika-EM25 poly synth with voices for strings, organ, trombones and trumpets. Feels like the Soviet version of the Arp Omni.

Wonderful strings sounds and quirky feel.

More a portable keyboard than a synthesizer, the EMI Kvintet had string-piano, synth-organ, abdominal brass textures, but no pitch or modulation wheels. Chorus.

A few interesting tones, indeed.

Another Soviet-era poly synth - Faemi-1M. 4-octave keyboard - strings, piano, clave, wind instruments. Like the EM25, it was probably an organ circuit with poly LP filters

Great resonances and wonderful imperfections.
