"4/17/26 Synthetic Sound Labs 1660 The Matrix Algorithmic Composer + Zerosum Inertia 6550-99 & The Scorpion Tail & Erebus Orifice + Analog Craftsman acVOKS VCF + Møffenzeef Simplify + ALM Pamela’s New Workout + Oakley ADSR/VCA + Paia 6740 + Alesis MIDIVERB II (40) + CXM 1978

The right Synthetic Sound Labs 1660 is clocked by ALM Pamela’s New Workout, but with the triggers interrupted by the Møffenzeef Simplify module. The right SSL 1660 clocks the left 1660 and both of them control the pitch of the Zerosum Inertia 6550-99 oscillator, with the left 1650 serving to transpose the right 1660 notes. The 6550-99 thyratron oscillator runs through the Analog Craftsman acVOKS VCF. That acVOKS Polivoks filter clone is by far the best filter module we have. Anyways, the acVOKS low pass output runs through the left Oakley ADSR/VCA and the bandpass output runs through the Blue Lantern mixer, gated by triggers from Pamela’s and with the wavefolder on (panned left on the Mackie Onyx 1640). The right ADSR/VCA is triggered by Pamela’s and is modulating the amazing acVOKS filter. Spring reverb from the Paia 6740, reversed reverb 40 from the Alesis MIDIVERB II, and stereo reverb blended on the CXM 1978."

"This jam is a little weird. My phone was on low battery which made the video slightly glitchy. I was a bit distracted during this recording so it's maybe a bit more boring than usual. There is also a couple mysterious audio drop outs near the end of the video. I didn't notice these prior to uploading so it's possible something went wrong when combining the audio and video files or something.

Erica Synths Bassline DB-01 Sounds & Sequencer Demo

Published on Jan 29, 2020 Perfect Circuit

"The Erica Synths Bassline DB-01 is their newest desktop instrument—a bass synth that covers everything from intense drones and acid bass to percussion and more. Performed here by the instrument's designer Girts Ozolins, the Bassline DB-01 does everything from snarling drones to Berlin school-esque basslines. While it might look similar, this synth is far more than just a 303 clone.

The Bassline DB-01 prides itself on its ability to make intense, aggressive sounds. With an integrated overdrive, transistor-based suboscillator, noise source, and a BBD-based detune, its raw sound production can create huge tones—and when passed through the Polivoks-esque LP/BP filter, it can produce thumping bass, howling noise textures, and everything in between.

Bassline DB-01 includes an arpeggiator, 64-step sequencer, VCF cutoff automation, and plenty of internal modulation sources—breaking it out of the typical bass sequencer role and into vast new territory. Bassline DB-01 is expected to be available Spring of 2020.

Mini Polivoks Modular (5 Eurorack modules from The Harvestman)

Published on Jan 22, 2020 poorness studios

"It took me a few years to find all these modules on the used market, but I managed to put together a Eurorack Polivoks clone. All 5 modules are from The Harvestman (Industrial Music Electronics) and were designed by Scott Jaeger in conjunction with Vladimir Kuzmin (the designer of the original Polivoks synthesizer). This modules are housed in a 4MS Pod48X. The original Polivoks synthesizers were made from 1982-1990 by the Formanta radio factory in Russia. They are sought after for their unique sound that came from the Soviet-made electronic components."

Red Dragon Morphing Filter Demo

Published on Jan 18, 2019 Hexinverter Électronique

"The Red Dragon is a Polivoks filter in its basic topology but it is far from a clone. Unlike any other filter of this type, it is 4-pole, with a unique CV control to morph between the 6db/octave and 24db/octave filter responses. This, along with cv inputs for resonance, 2 cv inputs for filter cutoff, and attenuverters on all of them, makes for a filter you can modulate to the moon and back!

This demo shows off the modulation possibilities to full effect. Fed with a simple square wave from the Klavis Twin-waves, accompanied by the Mutant Bass Drum and Hihats. All outputs go into the Mutant Hot Glue, with the makenoise Erbe-Verbe on the send/return channel.

The LED indicates the morphing - blue is the 6db/octave slope, red the 24db/octave slope."

Lots of trigs and CVs for O_C coming out at a 1/8 tempo Voltage block and Pamelas NEW Workout. The mixed down oscillators are going going into Belgrad which is cutoff gated by Pams workout, into my main mixer and clouds. JIAW JIAW guitar sound is rings into Uoki-Toki polivoks filter clone at high resonance, with filter cutoff being triggered by Pams workout gates into Maths envelope, into erica synths tube mixer at max saturation. Also drums from Tiptop audio ONE, 4MS STS and Intellijel Plonk being controlled by Qubit Rhythm. Qubit mixology with send return going into Clouds at final stage."

3 Eurorack Filter Clones Compared

Published on Feb 18, 2018 poorness studios

"I have 3 Eurorack filters and they all happen to be clones of vintage synths. I did a side-by-side comparison of the Doepfer A-124 (EDP Wasp clone), STG Soundlabs Sea Devils (EMS Synthi clone), and Harvestman Polivoks VCF (Polivoks clone).

Check out this video for more details on the A-124 self-oscilaltion mod:"

DIY Project 11: Doepfer A-124 WASP self oscillation mod

Published on Jan 29, 2018 poorness studios

"I really wanted to do the WASP self-oscilaltion mod. However, I didn't want to lose the filter's original character. Here's a way to do it cheap and easy. Of course, you lose one of the CV jacks, but I think it's worth it for the flexibility.

Gotharman CS Filter 1/2: overview (LMS Eurorack Expansion)

Published on Sep 7, 2017 Learning Modular

"This is the first of two movies on the IG000155 version of the Gotharman CS Filter. In addition to being a 2-pole multimode filter based on the classic Yamaha CS filter chip (IG00156) and its organ variant (IG00155: more bass; supposedly less crazy resonance), the Gotharman version takes the crown from Polivoks clone for being the most insane, unstable filter I’ve heard when pushed with high signal levels combined with high cutoff and resonance settings. This movie demonstrates how to move it between tame 2-pole response and crazy bursts of high-frequency oscillation. I also briefly touch on its high and bandpass modes in addition to low pass.

The second movie – which dives deeper into its behavior (including spectrograph displays), plus spends more time exploring the other filter modes – is exclusive to my Patreon supporters: https://www.patreon.com/LearningModular

Professionally built and tested to a high standard.

Module includes four knobs - a Taiwanese copy of the Davies 1900.

Original soviet’s vintage Polivoks Envelope Generator behavior, but it is 100% analogue, it has much wider setting range and greater stability.

Hopefully the pics speak for themselves overall it's incredibly straight and clean, and complete.

Polivoks Clone Limited to 100 Units & A Note From Creators Alex Pleninger & Alexey Taber

The new Polivoks clone from Alex Pleninger is now available for order, and for auction on the official site for the new synth. The units will be limited to 100 units. The starting price if you go the auction route? $1850. The buy it now price? A whopping $4000. Before you blame the creators Alex Pleninger and Alexey Taber, Pleninger asked me to post the following for them. BTW, it's worth noting $1850 for a brand new Polivoks is only slightly more than just half of a new Minmoog Model D, and that's for a limited run of only 100 synths. The $4000 BIN is a cap to ensure it does not cost anyone more than that, so technically they are limiting themselves, not the buyer. If it were auction only, the price could theoretically go above that and technically there is nothing forcing the price to hit $4k.

via Alex:

"Hello everybody,

Many of you could already hear that our Polivoks' first and only run is on auction now.

Do believe, this decision is not ours and has no connection with us at all.

Anyway, we are still very proud of what we've done - the synthesizer promises to take it's humble place in history, at least we hope so :)

Thanks to everybody for supporting us and for kind words!

Sincerely yours

Alex Pleninger and Alexey Taber"

It's rare that we see a message like this, so thanks to Alex for sending this in. One thing to consider, is the number of units is limited to 100 so the high price will make the decision for many to skip one easier. Not to mention, there are still originals out there.

Modular Synth and Guitar Crossover

Published on Sep 13, 2016 FatSynthDude

"For some reason you don't see much talk about doing stuff like this. For this demonstration, I'm running a guitar through various modules on my Eurorack system before sending it to the amp. In all cases, the guitar is a Schecter Avenger 7, the amp is a Schecter Hellraiser Stage 100, the mic is an SM57, and the preamp is an Eleven Rack. For most of these sounds, the clean channel was used. No post-processing effects were used. The order of the modules being used is as followed (also see corresponding picture.)

1. 0:00 Flame FX-16 (Autowah)
2. 0:19 Flame FX-16 (Bitcrusher)
3. 0:52 Audio Damage Aeverb
4. 1:20 Analogue Solutions SY02
5. 1:39 Doepfer A-136 Distortion/Waveshaper
6. 1:55 EMW Fixed Filter Bank
7. 2:35 A-125 Phase Shifter (Modulated by WMD DPO)
8. 3:27 Synthrotek Echo
9. 4:22 Dave Smith DSM-02 Character (5:42, drive turned up to max. Kinda of has a Tube Screamer-esque quality here.)
10. 6:03 Synthrotek 308 (Rat Clone) (6:43, Lead Channel engaged and a bad cover of 'Where the Slime Live" is played)
11. 6:58 Doepfer A-105 SSM Filter (Modulated by WMD DPO)
12. 8:36 Mutable Warps
13. 9:18 OSC303 (being CV modulated by the guitar, oddly enough)
14. 10:16 Mutable Elements
15. 10:58 Mutable Clouds
16. 12:12 Uoki-Toki Polivoks Filter (Modulated by WMD DPO. Uoki-Toki has super cheap Polivoks clone filters available on Muff Wiggler and I can't recommend them enough.)
17. 13:16 Trouby Tube Fuzz (Can't believe I've actually found something usable for this module! Sounds terrible on synths, but great as a guitar front end.)
18. 13:41 Music Thing Radio Music
19. 13:57 Waldorf NW1 (Wave 80 is my new god)
20. 14:30 Pittsburgh Modular Verbtronic (love how it has such a spring reverb character to it)
21. 15:30 Dwarfcraft Hax
22. 16:18 Flame Talking Synth
23. 16:50 Soundmachines UL1 Looper (very lofi quality even at highest quality)
24. 17:31 4ms Atoner
25. 18:42 Synthrotek APC (Modulated by WMD DPO)"
