"Greetings to the entire synth enthusiast community.
We have some bad news for you.
Vladimir Kuzmin, creator of the iconic POLIVOKS synthesizer, passed away on June 12th.
Rest and peace our dear friend. Our collaboration was wonderful. Condolences to the family. #polivoks #polyvox #synth #synthesizer #synths"
Vladimir Kuzmin's influence in the world of synths is legendary. You can find endless posts featuring his Polivoks synthesizr here. The Polivoks was often compared to the minimoog, however, it was also known for its agressive sounding filter which has been cloned and/or used by various synth makers, including the Harvestman aka Black Corporation, Analog Craftsman, SOMA's PULSAR-23 1984 edition, AJH Synths Matrix VCF module, and of course Elta Music's implementations of his designs.
I built the TRACKER that I've always wanted to use: TRX-12 💙
A fast, hands-on, tracker-style desktop DAW for Windows & macOS — loaded with 4,000+ original samples, three custom synth engines, 450+ Presets, 850+ MIDI files and a creative Step-FX workflow you won't find anywhere else! 😁🙏👊

Whatever kind of music you are making - KEEP IT UP, Friends!
Don't stop making *YOUR MUSIC*!!

"TRX-12 isn't just another sample player on a grid.
It's built around ideas you won't find in other trackers:
31 creative Step-FX commands — stack up to four per step for chords, strums, ratchets, probability, evolving pitch, glides, reverses, random slices and more. This is the secret weapon.
Polyphonic chords on a single track — real chords, right on the grid.
Multiple drum sounds on ONE track — sequence a whole kit on a single lane with no sample choking.
Multi-sample playback instrument with built-in trance gate
Round-robin playback — instant realism on drums and one-shots.
Melodies that evolve and mutate — scale-aware "evolve" and probability-based pitch let your sequences grow and change as they play.
Randomize everything — samples, synth sounds, sequences, even slicer slices — endless inspiration on tap.
Resample on the fly — bounce any pattern to a new sample and reload it instantly."
"Enjoying the brash and meaty sounds of the Kaleidoscope synth designed by Vadim Minkin. This digital synth is programmed by navigating through settings using the top 8 touch plates while the bottom four touch plates can trigger the different voices as well as decoupled envelopes and modulation.
On a purely visual level it looks like a piece of equipment that could have come from Tarkovsky's Solaris or inspired by a Stanislas Lem novel."
"In this short video series, our Education Associate Mike Kiker will be exploring the ARP Odyssey and the collectible 'Instant Odyssey' preset overlay set. Created by David Frederick, former vice president of ARP, as a means of selling the instrument and giving the player some familiar sounds to get started and learn to program the synth along the way.
Does this patch sound like a Theremin?"
"One take performance on a Prophet 10. Pedals used include Chase Bliss Onward, Soma Cosmos, and Noise Engineering Batverb. Also used a Dark Star sequencer for the middle sections.
This world we live in is becoming increasingly more complicated and is about to see a huge shift with the arrival of AI. I want this channel to showcase raw performances and celebrate the human aspect of art and music.
This is an anti-AI channel. Everything is composed and performed by me with no editing. Just raw performances created in the moment."
"Delve into the dark weirdness of the Buchla 200e. Easily the most interesting instrument I own. It challenges the user to explore new ways to express music and sound. The drums are created by self resonating the 291e triple filter module. Over the summer I explored more complex patching. All the random stereo ripping sounds are from a cross modded 258 classic into the bottom section of the 296 classic. The first batch created a fm like noise when opening the wide knob. Buchla USA recalled the first batch for a cleaner circuit, but I decided to keep it:) I'll be releasing many of these explorations over the next few months.
I'm planning to upload on a regular basis. This world we live in is becoming increasingly more complicated and is about to see a huge shift with the arrival of AI. I want this channel to showcase raw performances and celebrate the human aspect of art and music.
This is an anti-AI channel. Everything is composed and performed by me with no editing. Just raw performances created in the moment. My musical interests take my into strange and unpredictable areas. At the core, I'm a composer of epic cinematic music. Fortunately, it's what I do for work. The music on this channel represents the other curiosities I have with music and sound. AI just spits out sound a likes and has no real soul. I'm not trying to appeal to those who prefer AI playlists. In my opinion, those people are not true fans of music and art. AI isn't affected by culture, community and what's happening in the world, so it can never make a true artistic statement. "
"Everything you hear was performed and recorded live. For this session, I utilized the Summit's powerful multitimbral capabilities, crafting a complex multipatch soundscape entirely within the synth—no external effects, pedals, or VST plugins were used. Bitwig Studio was used for routing and capturing the live performance."
ACID & Trance V3 for D16 Phoscyon 2 – it’s a third part of Phoscyon 2 trilogy sequences.
In this part you will encounter the wildest ACID sounds that have been squeezed out of all the possibilities of the synthesizer and will give you much more than the original Roland TB-303 or any of its clones.
As in the previous parts, you will also receive built-in 32 MIDI sequences, on which you can learn to build your own melodies.
ACID & Trance V3 for Phoscyon 2 includes:
32 Presets & patches
32 MIDI sequences & Patterns
32 Scenes
The styles which the sounds fit well:
ACID Trance
ACID Techno
ACID House
Get the most powerful ACID sounds ever created with this sound library. And forget about wasting time on winding up something like this.
Made by NatLife himself."
"Всем привет!
Решил начать серию роликов в которых я показываю как накручивать наикрутейший звук на синтезаторах, в данном ролике это D16 Phoscyon 2 на котором я создал новый банк ACID & Trance звуков.
Те кто помнит треки Kai Tracid - и его тему с ACID & Trance поймут. И кстати не будет секретом если я скажу что я прямо с видео Кая стянул пару его мелодий и немного переделал так чтоб не нарушались права)
Но добавлю - я ему(Kai Tracid) бесплатно отправил порядка 300 ACID секвенция в свое время за его комментарий к себе на сайт и знаете что? Он отморозился, как-то делает большинство западных известных диджей и делали всегда. Я не обиделся а просто для себя сделал выводы как он человек, которого я еще малым уважал.
В общем если по теме - я в ролике сделал два звука с секвенциями и вы можете использовать это в своем музыка-производстве, чтоб сделать крутую ACID штуку.
В любом случае спасибо что посмотрели, любым адекватным отзывам конечно же буду рад и пишите понравился ли вам формат.
"I had uploaded this years ago, and as someone said at the time 'It looks like it was shot on a potato' which was true :) I used Adobe Dialogue enhance to clean up the sound, and a free online video enhance for the picture all of which brought it out nicely. The bit about the TB-303 at 7:05 is my favourite part :) Can't believe it's been almost 20 years!

Future Music Magazine, June 2007
Exclusive video of the gear in the Long Range studio
Phil runs through his synth collection detailing his best (and worst!), not forgetting the classic TB-303 on which some techno classics were written, complete with stickers for the tunes! We put him on the spot and ask which three pieces of gear he'd take to a desert island and then Nick runs through the band's bank of outboard gear. Fast!
