Vladimir Kuzmin of Polivoks Fame on His Kvintet Piano, Brass, Organ, Harpsichord and Strings Synth
Published on Feb 3, 2018 vladimir kuzmin
"Piano-strings Kvintet. The story told by its inventor Vladimir Kuzmin."
Note the timbre presets are only Brass, Organ, Piano, and Harpsichord. Additional timbres are created by applying the effects section. Strings are created by adding chorus.

New ADDAC 812 Meter Eurorack Modules
Published on Feb 4, 2018 ADDAC System
ADDAC812A
Stereo/dual audio meter with buffered thru outputs for each channel. 11 pairs of LED indicate the audio levels up to 10V.
Green lights go up to 5V, yellow almost reach 10V and 10V is red, indicating peaking.
Since modulars use Voltages we decided to use Volts and not dBs as a measurement that makes more sense for our favorite system!
ADDAC812V
Dual voltage meter with buffered thru outputs for each input.
11 pairs of LED indicate the voltage levels from -5V to +5V.
A quick and easy way to check your voltage levels and to add a small pseudo-oscilloscope in your system.
ADDAC812VU
Stereo/dual VU metering module with buffered thru outputs for each channel.
An additional switch turns the beautiful lamps behind the VU meters off, in case your rack is running low on power!
A couple trimmers on the back of the module allows the user to define the VU range of each channel independently.

"Analog filter and distortion unit with tube overdrive Sherman's Filterbank 2 is actually more a musical instrument than a "normal" filter. Two parallel or serially usable complex filters, modulations, envelopes and a rich distortion (with tube character) can be combined modularly.
Rack version
2 independent low pass, band pass and high pass filters
With Resonance, Frequency and ADSR (positive - negative) controllers
Switchable in parallel or serially
19 rack format
Dimensions: 432 x 114 x 81 mm
A powerful analog filtering and distortion unit with a huge frequency range and a killing TUBE overdrive behavior.
Independent low pass, band pass and high pass filters with resonance, frequency and ADSR (positive - negative) controls
These are switchable between parallel or serial
The second filter has a 6 octave switch, and is synchronizable with the first filter
1 ADSR generator for these filters with an external output for use with more filterbanks or modular systems, triggered by the incoming signal, by a second sounds source, or by a gate
1 FM input for the filters, internal or external audio, LFO or CV
1 VCA overdrive with AR generator also
1 ring modulator input, internal or external audio, LFO or CV"

"Original ARP Odyssey somewhat rare Mk I in Black & Gold. Includes the interface jack modification.
This synth was serviced by CAE Sound to replace the keyboard bushings, power cord, power switch and slider caps and was fully calibrated. The keyboard feels fantastic and the synth is fully functional and sounds great. I wouldn't say its brand new - it definitely shows sign of wear, after all its over 40 years old!
These Mk I Odysseys are definitely unique - the pitch bend knob is a little more functional that the PPC they later used. The duophonic keyboard takes getting used to and while the 4023 filter is a bit thin, it definitely screams on high resonance! Its a great lead synth."

"Recently serviced here in Sydney by Steve Jones who knows these synths inside out. Everything has been test including MIDI.
There heart of the OSCar is in its filter section. It has two 12dB/octave filters which can be linked in series for a 24dB/octave slope. The sound this synth can produce is extremely aggressive, which is the hallmark of this great synth.
The arpeggiator on this synth is probably one of the best I've ever played, especially with and adjustable gate control.
Collectively, with its additive synthesis architecture, duphonic capabilities, memory to store 36 programmable patches, 24 custom waveforms and 24 sequences (it has a built in sequencer), this synth provides the user with a myriad of sonic scope and creative opportunities."
