"This is a unique project with an all-tube audio path using obsolete Soviet rod tubes.

A detailed demonstration of Electroserf's latest vacuum tube design is shown, featuring a focus on each module and video of the synthesizer creating music.

Designed to maximise rich vacuum tube sound, there are no semiconductors whatsoever in the audio sections of these unique creations. All of the sounds in this video are composed using only this new Electroserf synthesizer prototype."

"Introduction to The Electronic Peasant's Electroserf synthesizer modules, based on Russian 1J24b vacuum tubes from the cold war days. These subminiature pentode tubes were used in the early MiG jet fighter radios, at a time when the western world had already changed over to solid state electronics.

These tubes are long obsolete, but available in the surplus market. Their small size, low voltage requirements, and low power heaters make them suitable for synthesizer use, while their low power output, gain and directly-heated cathodes bring their own design challenges."
