ANS (the abbreviation for "Alexandr Nicolaevitch Skryabin", the great Russian composer) is the first Russian synthesizer in which the unique optical method of synthesis, developed by a scientist E. Mursin in the years 1937-1957, is used. The synthesizer is a device combining three processes: creation, recording and playback of music.

ANS is an instrument that makes it possible to - literally - draw music. All the processes running in the synthesizer are rather complex; they consist in rotation of glass disks with images and in interaction of various devices and lamps. Sounds are preliminary drawn on the glass disks, after which the playback of the recorded music is possible. ANS has a 72-element octave.

Presently, only the first - and the sole operative - instrument of this kind is kept at Moscow University and is used with success by many well-known Russian composers, for example, Eduard Artemiev.
