New Soviet Polivoks Desktop Synth from Alex Pleninger in the Works

Update: demo videos added below.

An approved clone of the Polivoks coming from Alex Pleninger.

Update:

Some new info from Alex Pleninger in via Soviet Space Child:

"The most important parts (defining sound) are soviet old stock, it includes filter, vca and both envelope generators
The osc are heavily reworked to provide stability, which is really excellent
Modulator made cv controlled, with additional waveforms
And all stuff is still 100% analogue
Excluding midi"

I asked him further about the VCO designs, i.e. if they're based on the originals, and he had this to say:

"Yes, the design is almost the same as in the old one
And one more point
The machine is approved by Kuzmin
We signed a deal
And it is built like a tank, believe me"

And via traffkin in the comments: "in close collaboration with Alexey Taber, great engineer and synth guru :)"

Playing KORG Arp Odyssey only.

OTOTOY限定作品として制作されたスピンオフアルバム。内容は今年コルグが蘇らせ­たヴィンテージアナログシンセサイザー「アープオデッセイ」のみで作られた冒険的な作­品。アナログシンセサイザーの魅力を最大限に引き出すべくプレイされた、オーバーダブ­やエフェクトなしのインプロヴィゼイション録音。シンセサイザーの出力がモノであるが­ゆえのモノラルミックス。レコードやCDなどメディアにはつきものだった時間制限を取­り払った、配信ならではの自由過ぎる1曲の長さと従来のアルバム概念を覆すトータルタ­イム。ミニマルにしてマキシマムなオデッセイミュージック。"

To use this editor you have to have the TB MIDI stuff app on your iPad. It is available in the app store for under $5. All 808 and 909 parameters are accessible. Sorry about the mid-video template editing, but this was a final check to see if all parameters were working and at least you get to see how easy it is to change the MIDI messages being sent from TBMS."
