elta music pm-02 exploration

impurfekt

"the elta music pm-02 is a eurorack version of the recent polyvox-m desktop unit. it is a simplified version of the original polyvoks synthesizer; possessing similar oscillator and filter circuitry.

this synth is my first in-person exposure to the polyvoks family. it certainly lives up to its reputation. the oscillators are raw and dirty (though cleaner when patched out to other modules). the filter is dirty and has the most violent resonance i've ever heard. the envelope is nice and snappy. the unit is gorgeous and built like a tank. it has enough jacks to easily incorporate other modules.

while i enjoyed using the pm-02 i found the filter lacking in musicality. it's generally rough and dirty (not a bad thing); and adding resonance just makes it louder and dirtier. i was pleased by the saw and square oscillators. the square can sound nice and woody. to me the triangle oscillator sounds more like a muted saw than a triangle. i struggled to create bell-like tones for example.

due to the general character of the filter i've decided to look at other options; but if you like the tone of this synth it's an excellent choice. it's well built and excels at hard, sharp, dirty, nasty sounds.

filter sweeps (low pass) at 0:15
filter sweeps (band pass) at 5:26
saw arp at 8:48
bass line at 12:02
triangle arp at 16:11
band pass lead at 21:08

"This is performance oriented analog electronic music instrument! Big ambient machine, drone-accordion, organ and 50 oscillators synthesizer all in one!

Final version will include a new design and additional, yet not showed functions. Estimated price is about 800$.
Pre-orders at sales@eltamusic.com Mark 'SOLAR 50'"

ELTA SOLAR 50


"The instrument is designed for creating atmospheric sounds, background music, microtonal music, super polyphonic electro symphonies, as well as for making sophisticated complexes of extensionally dispensed tones that have random frequencies and tricky intervallic hookups. Inspired by early electronic musical developments of the last century, particularly Leo Theremin's instrument called 'Harmonium'.

Variations of sounds that you can create with «Solar» are really boundless.

Solar synthesizer consists of 10 voices. Each voice, in it’s turn, consists of 5 oscillators (2 low, 2 middle, 1 high) with a pitch controller and a mute button for each oscillator. Each voice is provided with an envelope (attack/release parameters) controlled by a tactile sensor.

Solar 50 has a piezo mic onboard, that let it turn into electro acoustic percussion noise instrument.
In addition, there is a GATE-ON button for every voice, making it sound constantly, and a voice volume controller.

There are two independent LFOs and a bunch of external CV inputs on board and so called PLS connector for connecting a CV source in order to control the pitch of each of 50 oscillators and to start the envelope of any voice. Patching is possible with standard pin wires that are used in Moog Werkstatt, Bastl Instruments and in many other devices. MUTE buttons let you use from 1 up to 5 oscillators per voice, tuning in for chords, thirds, fifths and other intervals or to get a clean single note.
