VERMONA - SYNTHESIZER When I listen this beast for first time I was charmed with its real analogue and raw sound. By the way it is made in Eastern Germany. There is no chip inside only transistors (this is a probably result of its origin). Although the VCF is not too strong and not self-oscillating, sounds very nice and smoothy. Also VCO with pretty good saw and square oscillator waveforms makes the machine really powerful synth. The greatest weakness of this synthesizer is the keyboard which is quite hard to play and the sound is sometimes detuned due its bad construction quality. It´s made of wood and metal, knobs are plastic, (detail picture) some parts are covered with synthetic leather. It´s not as heavy as it looks (without original case).

Keyboard 44 keys, no velocity or aftertouch sensitivity, pretty hard to play
