VG LINE TBX3Q3 - Acid Machine

video upload by VG-Line

"VG-Line TBX-3Q3 is a x0xb0x designed and crafted in Russia by Vyacheslav Grigoriev.
The x0xb0x is a complete clone of the legendary analog bass synthesizer, Roland TB-303, with a new, more powerful sequencer. This synthesizer, which led to the birth of the whole ACID subgenre of the techno music, has many implementations, but not all of them are 100% clones including identical analog part schematic and component set. Fortunately, The VG-Line TBX-3Q3 is one of them: a full clone, which uses even the same NOS transistor couples.The primary difference of VG-Line x0xb0xes is the use of specially picked transistors with β400 as were used in the original model by Roland. Only the 5th part from a 1000pcs batch can pass for the production of VG-Line unit."

"The synthesizer was serviced by VG-Line (Russian factory that specializes on production of analog synthesizers, e.g. Polivoks, and repair of vintage synths). The repair affected the details of the power supply, so the synthesizer is powered now by a 220 volt outlet. The repair did not affected the original Yamaha details of sound processing, so the synthesizer sounds the same as it did 40 years ago."

Details on the VG-Line "РИТМ-2" Black

Front panel translation below. You can find video of the new VG Line RITM-2 posted here.

"The Ritm-2 synthesizer made by VG-Line is a direct recreation of the ’80s Soviet one-osc monophonic analogue synthesizer, РИТМ-2 also known as Ritm Dva or Rhythm-2, in a form of small-sized desktop module, which can be controlled via MIDI or CV/Gate. The original model was itself inspired by small-sized analog Moog synthesizers and the sound of this little synth was pretty close to Moog but it had number of distinctive properties making it unique: A specific VCO with unusual distorted triangle waveform, VCO waveform mixer, a bit more non-linearity in the VCA and a little distortion in the output stage. Also, the original model had two full-featured ADSR envelopes on-board — a pretty rare feature for this class of monosynths. One of these envelope generators had the Cycle feature.

The new desktop synthesizer has the almost identical set of features and controls as the original, but it also has a number of improvements:

More reliable and stable modern power supply. No more 20 minutes warm-up for the stable tune!
MIDI In and Thru
LFO rate can be synchronized with the MIDI Clock
LFO rate knob works in the traditional direction, opposite to the original, reversed direction
Note Velocity can be assigned to VCA level (selectable)
Audio Input with level adjust control in the Mixer Section
CV inputs for Pitch, VCF Cutoff Frequency, PWM, VCA, and V-Gate input for triggering envelope generators
Specifications:

1 VCO with at least 5 octaves stable tracking
3 VCO waveforms: Triangle, Sawtooth, Pulse with PWM
White Noise generator
4-channel Mixer for Tri/Saw, Pulse, Noise and Audio In
24dB low-pass transistor ladder filter with keyboard tracking
1 LFO with Triangle, Square, and Sample & Hold waveforms
2 ADSR envelope generators, one with gated AR Cycle mode
Selectable modulation sources for VCO pitch: LFO Tri, LFO Sqr, SnH
Selectable modulation sources for VCF: ADSR, LFO Tri, SnH
MIDI-control with selectable channel via Learn button
Inputs:

MIDI Input (DIN-5)
Audio Input (1/4″ TS Jack)
CV Inputs for Pitch, Pulse Width, VCF Cutoff, VCA Level (1/8″ TS Jacks)
Gate input (V-Gate, 1/8″ TS Jack)
Outputs:

MIDI Thru (DIN-5)
Line OUt (Unbalanced, 1/4″ TS Jack)
Headphones Out (1/4″ TRS Jack)
Supply:

European ~220v AC Line In. (215-250v)"
