Very nice, it has a cool organ sound. YT probably took me to your channel since I have been searching for videos about Soviet synths. I have just undertaken a refurb on a Elektronika EM-25 synth (slightly more complicated than this Organ) which was badly neglected. Not sure how it ended up in the UK but I got it off eBay as non working and ended up rebuilding the power supply and fixing some odd components that had come loose. Such a relief when it finally worked. Also had to made it safe from electrical safetey point of view. It has a metal chassis but it was not earth bonded which is a must with metal chassis.
I've seen one of these pop up on Reverb VERY occasionally. After seeing what you went through with this, I'm glad I opted for a Teisco "Teischord" model that was already stateside.
Emma, many thanks for your research! As a former soviet musician I should notice, that many soviet keyboard players literally hated this Yunost (Youth) organ. Later on, when we had the opportunity to use Japanese and American keyboards, many musicians said when they heard any nasty synth sounds something like this - You do really have a Roland (Yamaha etc) synth. Why did you find the sound of the Yunost organ there? 🪗🪗🪗
@@analogemma You're right! It's quite cute and quirky, I could say, it's even exotic. As a part of your analog keyboards collection, as a museum thing it's exellent. But for music production and for instance for live performance somewhere in a village club (haha) the Yunost is quite useless. Firstly, whatever knobs you rotate, the device produces the same sound. The difference is only with adding or subtracting octave harmonics and adjusting very primitive LPF. Secondly, this electronic organ was considered as quite unreliable among musicians. You've seen the quality of сircuit boards assembly, the soldering doesn't look neat. I think, you will agree with me. BTW, having any polyphonic synth which can produce the triangle or saw wave and has a filter and an envelope generator you will easy make the sound of the Yunost organ.

@ He has a really nice music channel. Sometimes he has some odd sampling ideas or gets his hands onto a rare synth/instrument to make a sample library.
I read on a forum that this organ was used on the Егор и Опизденевшие (Yegor i Opizdenevshiye / Egor and the Fucked-Up) album Сто лет одиночества (Sto let odinochestva / A Hundred Years of Solitude). Егор и Опизденевшие was the group that underground Russian rock icon Egor Letov founded after the initial dissolution of his legendary band Гражданская оборона (Grazhdanskaya oborona / Civil Defense) in 1990 :)
An ordinary ordinary electric organ, which was probably played by musicians in Soviet vocal-instrumental ensembles (rus. вокально-инструментальный ансамбль - ВИА). Thanks for the video.
I do own a Yunost 70 (юуност) “youth” probably the most charming combo organ I own. Hell yeah the keys feel plastiky. The top chassis it’s metal sheet and the under side is cast iron. Weights as much as a washing machine!
Looks like my Elka! I got an old stringer that's awaiting a long since discontinued power transformer. The tone cards click into little card reader slots like a Nintendo! These things are a PAIN to service since they're built so... Archaic.
That’s great! I wonder what kind of waveform it is though. I was expecting a square wave sound considering how simple the circuitry seemed, but it sounds more like a mix of a sawtooth wave and some sort of pulse wave..? I’m curious

All analog synths become more stable for tuning once they've settled at a stable temperature. Once you turn them on, they start to warm up and the tuning will keep drifting until the temperature stops changing. Most analog synths have it in the manual to let it warm up for 15 mins or more.

But I had forgotten that transistors, diodes, and resistors would need a good warm-up period in order for the tones to stabilize. So apparently you could already play this before that, but just not rely on it for a concert or other pro-quality performance until then.

"Yunost" is Russian for "youth". For some unknown reason it was a popular word in the USSR to name everything from vinyl record players and vibrating body massagers to cinemas and street markets, some of which still bear that name to this day!
I don't know why they didn't give just 4 (maybe 4.5) octaves with regular size keys :/ it's pretty funny that the manual suggests taking it camping though!
It's not overthinking to state what's actually going on. Top octave divider not 8 bit synthesis. You are doing yourself a disservice by trying to make out that it is something that it's not. An even bigger disservice by trying to front it out and insulting the original commenter.
I didn’t know the Soviets were decades ahead of the US on the “hipsters lugging electronic instruments out to the woods” front.

First time I see a 60 (not 61) keys organ.
Great find!

It because 12 tones divided by 5 octaves on five stages multivibtators = 60 keys
It just optimisation. Need to produce only one board and all components is same. Tune sets by trimpots in back in full octave range

What are not are 61 keys keyboards based on dividers chain :D

it's a circuit-copy-ish of my acetone top 5
lol yea I could see that
"Yunost" is Russian for "youth". For some unknown reason it was a popular word in the USSR to name everything from vinyl record players and vibrating body massagers to cinemas and street markets, some of which still bear that name to this day!
How cool!
because kids were the ones who would spread peace (communism) all around the world! :D
I don't know why they didn't give just 4 (maybe 4.5) octaves with regular size keys :/ it's pretty funny that the manual suggests taking it camping though!
Lol right
@@analogemma this thing will TOTALLY replace the guitar! I mean, heck, it doesn’t even look like it has integrated speakers? Or a battery?
@@kaitlyn__L Nope! Though there was a case which had built in speakers like those Silvertone guitar cases--maybe they all came standard with it
it's awesome but fifteen minutes waiting everytime? It's slower that my old pc loading windows
LOL you don't HAVE to ;)
6:31 sounds like a cross between deep purple and super mario bros
LOL yea
Why is it 8-bit?
There are 12 generators and simple frequency dividers on counting triggers, made on transistors. There are no DACs there.
Cause everyone says it sounds 8-bit don't overthink it lol
It's not overthinking to state what's actually going on. Top octave divider not 8 bit synthesis. You are doing yourself a disservice by trying to make out that it is something that it's not. An even bigger disservice by trying to front it out and insulting the original commenter.
