Via the AH mailing list. Analog Heaven Midwest is coming. I asked Andrew if I could put up a post post and he said blog away! Here you go.
"Its... (cue Monty Python music)
The Analogue Heaven Midwest Getogether 2006 : Saturday March 25
http://www.ph.k12.in.us/~drew/ahmw/
If you're anywhere near Indiana and you like your synths in hardware form,
please join us for what is always a really fun day. Check out the picture
archives if you have any doubts!
Note: there is some *new* info on the page (in red). Please take a look at
it, even if you're an AHMW regular.

POLIVOKS Shots
Title link takes you to shots pulled from this auction. Sent my way via Alex Theakston. Thanks Alex!
Via the auction:
The Polyvox (Polivoks) is a duophonic analog synthesizer, with a 49-note (13F-E) keyboard. It features two VCOs, a noise generator, one LFO, a filter (low-pass and bandpass), and two ADSR envelope generators. VCO1 can be cross-modulated by VCO2. Each ADSR can be switched to auto-trigger, each with independent rates.The sound is quite rich and somewhat harsh and aggressive. This is more of a space-synth. You can be sure that you will have never heard the sounds this one can produce. It sounds like these old Yamaha CS-30's, but then fat filters like in Moogs. It is built like a rock, pure military technology, contacts will last forewer. The body is solid and the knobs feel nice. It runs on 220V AC. Polivoks (Polyvox) is the most popular vintage Russian synthesizer all over the world. It has inimitable peculiar sound and very powerful aggressive filters outperforming the famous Minimoog! A fat, lush and very analogue sound is achieved through instability and thanks to unique architecture of the Soviet-era components; in addition, highly reliable military technologies were applied in the process of production. The synthesizer may be used for hard electronic music, or for soft ambient/old school projects and for modelling various effects as well.
SPECIFICATIONS :
Mains voltage of alternating current, V 220
Power consumption, W max 10
A range of operating temperature, C -10 / +35
Relative generator drift over 4 hours continuous work is within, % max +/- 05
Total musical range overlaped by main generators, Hz 21,8 (F of subcontra octave), + 5274 Hz (E of fifth octave)
Tuning range of the main generators, % min +/- 12 (+/- 1 tone)
Detuning range of the second generator, % min +/- 25 (+/- 2 tone)
Frequency change range of the cutoff frequency of the filter, Hz min 100 + 10000
Dynamic range of the synthesizer, dB min 60
Inlet voltage of the synthesizer in a load 10 kOm
Low output voltage, V 0,025
High output voltage, V 0,25
Dimensions - 780x490x195
Weight - 20.00 kgs

Beautiful scan sent my way via Javier Zubizarreta. Title link takes you to a much larger image. Thanks Javier!
More NAMM 2006 via One Blue Monkey
I totally forgot about One Blue Monkey. They have some coverage including pics, notes and video, including the Akai EWI4000S. Title link takes you there.
Le Synthi V3 and Synthi AKS Schematic
Keith Seaman was doing some research on the EMS Synthi and ran into this schematic of the Keyboard Sequencer for the Synthi AKS. He sent it my way along with a link to a free Synthi emulation. Title link takes you to where you can download the software. Click on "logiceils" when you get there, scroll down and pick your flavor. Thanks Keith!
Musicians and Their Synths
Title link takes you to a site sent my way via André Bihler, of various musicians and their synths. Enjoy. Thanks André!
