A melancholic theme

YouTube via attorks
"This is a somewhat melancholic theme so I hope you won't get depressed ;-)
The ring modulator sounding 8 step sequence is produced by the Synthesizers.com Modular using a MFOS Dual VCA and the faster 16 step sequence comes from the self-build Modular. The Waldorf Q Keyboard produces an AKAI-AX80-like string sound. The first solo comes from the Clavia Nord Lead 1 and after that the volume is turned up for the Creamware MiniMax ASB which is also controlled from the Clavia keyboard. The Roland XP-80 produces a Mellotron Violins sound."

"Favorite Hardware
Predictably it has to be my euro rack modular, two years ago I would have said the DSI Evolver, but the modular has eclipsed that. Patching is akin to playing chess, or raking a sand garden, it’s a blank slate with a kazillion options and if you manage to explore every option just swap out a module with another one and suddenly you are back to option 1 with a kazillion to go, oh and it sounds good too. The resurgence of modular synthesis has to be an indicator that humanity is getting better."

"Polivoks had been produced since 1982 by Formanta electronic factory (one of the biggest at the time); it was sold exclusively in the USSR. Polivoks has its own particular electronic parts, reliable keyboard (49 notes F to E) made in magnetically controlled contacts; synthesis modules consist of independent boards, which is convenient for maintenance. The synthesizer has 2-voices polyphony; each oscillator works with a keyboard note independently; two types of filters - bandpass/lowpass and external input for cutoff control. In addition, Polivoks is housed in an original body of uncommon design with handy controls. Being closed with a cover, the synthesizer turns into a strong aluminum case.
