Description

The EMI РИТМ-2 (RITM-2) is a vintage gem from the world of Soviet synthesizers, celebrated for its unique sound character and robust build. Originally produced in the 1980s, this synthesizer holds a distinctive analog monophonic sound that appeals to both collectors and contemporary musicians seeking to infuse their music with a classic vibe. Its compact design houses a range of features that deliver everything from lush, atmospheric pads to gritty bass lines, making it versatile for various musical styles.

Equipped with a fully analog signal path, the РИТМ-2 offers a hands-on experience with its manual controls, allowing for real-time sound manipulation. The synth features a single VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) with multiple waveform outputs, which can be creatively combined for rich tonal options. Its analog nature ensures warm, organic sounds that digital synths often struggle to replicate. The built-in LFO (Low-Frequency Oscillator) and filter system provide further modulation possibilities, enabling the crafting of complex textures and dynamic sonic landscapes.

Key Features:

  • Monophonic analog synthesizer
  • Single VCO with multiple waveforms
  • Built-in LFO for modulation
  • Classic analog filter system
  • Robust and compact design
  • Manual controls for real-time sound shaping
  • Suitable for a wide range of musical styles
