ELTA Music Polivoks FILTER - 2

Published on Sep 23, 2017 ELTA music

Note the Filter-2 was originally featured in June, that video was removed, as in previous ELTA music posts. Hopefully this one will stay up. If not, watch it now, before it's gone.

Love the look of the white one.

"The Polivoks Filter, from Elta Music, utilizes the classic Soviet filter chip for a unique and iconic filter tone. It provides both CV and Expression pedal inputs, built in LFO, and WOB fader for ultimate control. On board LFO has a fast/slow range switch, and on/off. Separate LFO OUT can be used to control external CV devices. With lowpass, bandpass, highpass, and notch filter types, one can shape tones into whole new realms. The pedal is switched on with a switch, rather than a stomp button, catering towards use as a desktop filter.

"SOLAR 42f is a unique experimental electro-music instrument, an analogue microtonal ambient drone machine. It will inspire you to find a new and spontaneous approach to composing music.

The instrument is oriented for live performances, creating film soundtracks, theatre soundtracks, atmospheric sounds, microtonal and background music. The instrument was inspired by early electronic musical instruments of the 1920s and 1950s, notably Leo Theremin's «Harmonium» instrument, as well as science fiction film soundtracks."

"The Polivoks Filter-2, from Elta Music, utilizes the classic Soviet filter chip for a unique filter tone. This model includes original modula- tor (LFO) block from Polivoks Synth. There is a new controller called Wob Fader. It controls Filter Cutoff Freq using CV. Wob Fader has it’s max values on the sides, and minimum CV is at the centre. This Fader let’s you easily perform one popular modern electronic music trick: «Wobbla». It mimics scratch effect. Thanks to four available Filter modes (LP/BP/HP/Notch) device can dramat- ically change your source signal."

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.

"Elta Music PLL-4046

The PLL, from Elta Music, is an analog harmonic synthesizer. It turns your input signal into a square wave, and then multiplies or divides the frequency of that square wave, providing overtones and undertones from the original pitch, with extreme timbral intensity. The signal can be multiplied and divided simultaneously, providing an effect like chords. The tracking of the pedal can be adjusted according to the loop track control.

ELTA SOLAR 50 | Big Drone synth | Ambient machine (prototype demo)

Published on Nov 25, 2019 ELTA music

"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.

Ambient Jam | Elta Music Solar 42F | 59 Perlen

video upload by 59 Perlen

"Hello my friends,

I posted some images of my new acquisition last week. “Kind” is the first jam I recorded on my new synthesizer, the Solar 42F from Elta Music. I named the track “Kind” because this instrument has many buttons, switches and lights that let the child in me play and go on a journey of discovery.

Of course I use an Arabic scale in this first jam :D If you know my music, you also know my preference for Middle East flavours. After my first attempts, I was glad that I got the 24 oscillators more or less in tune with each other - I think that was my biggest difficulty and first challenge to master before I can dive into the endless modular possibilities this engine offers.

Have fun :D"

Off to space, Bye // Elta Music Solar 42f is Incredibly Immersive

video upload by Dave Mech

"Hello HAL, do you read me? This is best listened to / viewed from beginning to the end if you want to get a good picture of the drone / ambient / cinematic journey the Solar 42 can take you on. I hope this trip to space will help you understand how this instrument can bend your mind into the 5th dimension. I knew I'd like the Solar 42 but it really clicked with me in a way I didn't expect. And I'm only scratching the surface here. And the sound.... It's seriously impressive in all aspects. The way all the voices are summed, the overdrive and fx, it's all sounding lovely.

Disclaimer: Elta Music send me this unit to play with and create a music video.
Disclaimer 2: Some post processing was used with iZotope Ozone. Another thing I did was feeding some of the right channel to the left channel after recording. While playing this piece I created a nice stereo effect with the filters in link mode. The downside was that this was a bit too extreme, certainly for headphones so I solved that in post.
