The story
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.
In Neolel, all octaves of the four registers have been fully sampled.
The authentic vibrato has been preserved without using Kontakt’s built-in effects.
A “Tape” button has been added, which activates layers processed via BASF master tape on a multitrack recorder. This sound gives the instrument a certain analog warmth.
Filters:

Well done!
I like this synth and the way, it is created in this Sample pack. Well done! It is a pity that it only works with the latest Kontakt versions and only as Demo within the Kontakt player. Perhaps, it is possible to make a version which also works with the Kontakt player? Thank you!
