    not affiliated with this brand but spotted it recently. installed Luch and it sounds promising for a new free plugin. haven't seen it mentioned anywhere on here or the sister sites so maybe people dont know about it.

    The plugin looks like a Puremagnetik-style plugin, be that what it may...

    AN ORIGIN RITM-2. HISTORY from from http://www.ritm2.e-tera.ru/en/
    The Soviet synthesizer RITM-2 was created in 1982 by Viktor Anatolyevich Nikulin, an engineer at the Kirov Plant of Musical Instruments, at the request of his friend, a musician. The management of the company liked the device and in 1984 its serial production began, which lasted 10 years. During this time, the instrument scheme has undergone further improvements three times. It was the only Soviet synthesizer, all components and controls which were placed on a single printed circuit board. Functionally, it consisted of one tone generator, a noise generator, a sound mixer (triangle, saw, rectangle, noise), a low-pass filter, two full-format envelope generators (attack, recession, support, after-sound) and a low-frequency modulation generator. Structurally, it was a portable keyboard instrument weighing about 15kg, in a plywood case with a lid. The front panel had two versions: black and white. The main feature of the instrument, which determined its character, long life and fame in a professional environment, was its uniquely rigid sound. The production capabilities of the enterprise were very modest and for the entire 10-year period only about three thousand tools were released. RHYTHM-2 was produced exclusively on orders from the administrations of houses and palaces of culture, the enterprises of the foremost communist labor, which had their own musical groups. In the Soviet period, it was impossible to purchase a rare instrument on free sale and among musicians who had no relation to amateur groups, RHYTHM-2 was little known. They learned about the unusual synthesizer only after 1993, when the amateur music supported by the Soviet authorities, together with the palaces of culture and the Soviet authorities themselves, ceased to exist and the RHYTHM-2 synthesizers began to fall into the hands of professional musicians in Russia and abroad.

    The sister site had it uploaded twice. I've been using it since I randomly found it on Youtube, it's really nice and very high quality for a free product. I'm surprised they just now added a button to support, because they actually deserve some money for it.
