Neolel

Lel-22 is a modest yet extraordinarily charismatic synthesizer that emerged in the 1980s from Soviet factories. If Western synthesizers of that era were luxurious sports cars, then Lel-22 is a reliable Soviet moped: not fast, not loud, but perfectly capable of taking you into the world of warm analog sound.

This instrument was quite rare. It wasn't a star like the "Polivoks" or "Elektronika EM-25," but it can be heard in the experimental works of the Leningrad underground. Lel-22 isn't just a synthesizer—it's a testament to how Soviet electronics adapted to component shortages, creating something truly unique.
