dc.descriptionIn this article we use "Scenario Machine" - the population synthesis simulator- to calculate the evolution of the populations of the selected types of X-ray sources after the starformation burst with the total mass in binaries $1.5\cdot10^6 M_{\odot}$ during the first 20 Myr after the burst. Sources of the four types were calculated: transient sources- accreting neutron stars with Be- stars; accreting neutron stars in pair with supergiants; Cyg X-1-like sources- black holes with supergiants; superaccreting black holes. We used two values of the $α- coefficient$ in the mass-function: 2.35 (Salpeter's function) and 1.01 ("flat spectrum"). The calculations were made for two values of the upper limit of the mass-function: 120 and 30 $M_{\odot}$. For the flat spectrum the number of sources of all types significantly increased. Decreasing of the upper mass limit below the critical mass of a black hole formation increase (for the "flat spectrum") the number of transient sources with neutron stars up to $\approx 300$. We give approximating formulae for the time dependence of source numbers.
