And for those wondering, no, there is no relation to this site. Matrixsynth in this case stand for the matrix modulation patch bay. The site got it's name from my alias, matrix, and the Oberheim Matrix-6, my first synth. I registered the matrixsynth.com domain name back in 1997, long before the Vostok Matrixsynth.

"The Vostok combines the patch panel convenience and all-in-one instrument approach of the EMS Synthi with the with the open-system nature of eurorack modular. The module selection in the Vostok is second to none as far as versatility and economy.

The Vostok has far more features packing a powerful amount of modular synthesizer power into one small suitcase.

This Vostok is in perfect working condition and only used in the studio.

Matrix Patch Panel

Utilises the EMS VCS3/AKS style patch panel, but with an with increased 22x22 connection size. The matrix panel gives the patching versatility of a modular without the need for confusing & front-panel interfering patch cables. It's the neatest & most versatile method of creating patches.

External Patching

Matrix panels alone do not allow interfacing with external synthesizers & signals, so the Vostok also provides a full complement of front panel jack socket patch points for additional internal & external patching & interfacing.

All circuits are totally analogue with the exception of the MIDI interface.

Utility Modules

Mixer: CV / Audio Mixer. 6 input with Normal and Inverse output
Signal Meter: The meter input is taken from the mixer output
Multiples 1 and 2: 2 multiples, each is 4 way
Adaptor 1: 6.35mm / 3.5mm jack socket converters
Adaptor 2: 6.35mm / 3.5mm jack socket converter wired into the matrix board

Control Modules
