Seven Bass Sounds from Polivoks

video upload by Hanz Volt

"The Polivoks was my first Russian synth and I must say ive been hooked on russian synths ever since... My Polivoks dosent have midi, so please excuse my bad playing ; )"

Nuova Elettronica LX-520 a rare, quirky, dirty synth from Italy

video upload by Hanz Volt

"Nuovo Elettronica...a quirky, rare, dirty Synth from Italy -?? 1981 ??- 👌 AO OA.. MB6582 on bass. Some weird vocal in the back is running thru the Tasty Chips GR-1 / Tama TS-306 on drums. Amazing playing skills...ALL ME! 😂😂"

Altair 231 BAss! MoDulations! Rare Russian Synthesizer

video upload by Hanz Volt

"The Altair is my desert Island synth... as long as theres electricity... ;)
Its my most beloved synth in the collection and its sound is truly unique and powerful. And of course the TamaTS-306, Soviet Lell UDS and TipTop Audio BD808. If you love analog drums this combo is a beast!"

Seven Sounds From Aelita

New Doepfer Modules Coming to SUPERBOOTH

Avialable in black and silver.

Module A-121s is a dual multimode filter which can be used for stereo applications as well as for parallel or serial organized dual mono filters. The core is a 12dB multimode filter identical to the modules A-121-2 and A-121-3. The selection of the filter type is continuously from lowpass via notch and highpass to bandpass. We attached great importance to the usability of the manual controls and CV inputs for both stereo and dual mono applications. For the filter parameters frequency (F), resonance (Q) and type (T) common controls and CV inputs as well as single controls and CV inputs are available. For the filter frequency in addition a manual control and CV input for the filter spread (frequency difference or delta F) is available.

Controls:

F: master frequency control for both filters (large knob)
Type 1 / Type 2: filter type panning/morphing L-N-H-B
Link to 1: Toggle switch so that Type 1 also controls type of filter 2 (i.e. simultaneous filter type control for both filters)
SFM1 / SFM2: Single Frequency Modulation controls (polarizers), connected to the corresponding sockets SFM1/SFM2 (socket SFM1 is normalled to a fixed positive voltage, SFM2 is normalled to SFM1, that way the controls SFM1/SFM2 work as frequency controls for each filter provided that no modulation signals are patched to the SFM1/SFM2 sockets)
CFM: common frequency control, controls two VC-polarizers which process the signals connected to the two sockets CFM1/CFM2, CFM2 is normalled to CFM1, that way also the same modulation signal (e.g. an envelope generator) can be used for both filters and the level controlled simultaneously by the CFM control
Delta F: controls the difference between the frequencies of the two filters manually (frequency "spread"), at center position the frequencies are the same
Delta FM: controls the level of the Delta FM signal (socket), which allows to control the spread between the frequencies also by an external control voltage (e.g. by an LFO or ADSR)
Q: controls the resonance of both filters simultaneously
Level 1 / Level 2: attenuators for the two audio inputs
QM/TM1, QM/TM2: attenuators for the modulation inputs QM/TM1 and QM/TM2
Sockets:

In1 / In2: audio inputs (In2 is normalled to In1)
Out1 / Out2: audio outputs
F: common frequency control input for both filters (~ 1V/oct)
Delta FM: Control voltage for frequency spread, processed by the polarizer Delta FM
SFM1 / SFM2: single frequency modulation inputs, processed by the polarizers SFM1 and SFM2, SFM1 is normalled to a fixed positive voltage, SFM2 is normalled to SFM1#
CFM1 / CFM2: common frequency modulation inputs, processed by the two voltage controlled polarizers controlled by CFM knob, CFM2 is normalled to CFM1
QM/TM1, QM/TM2: the addressing of these sockets/attenuators is defined by internal jumpers. QM means Q modulation (i.e. resonance modulation), TM means filter type modulation (QM1 = resonance modulation filter 1, QM2 = resonance modulation filter 2, TM1 = filter type modulation filter 1, TM2 = filter type modulation filter 2), socket QM/TM1 is normalled to a fixed positive voltage, QM/TM2 is normalled to QM/TM1
A 45 degrees triangle next to a socket means that the switching contact of the socket is normalled to a fixed positive voltage.
A vertical triangle indicates the normalling of two sockets.

By means of small circles at the bottom right side of the front panel the user can mark the function of the QM/TM inputs. These assignments are possible:

QM/TM1 controls QM1, QM/TM2 controls QM2, the filter types are not controlled by external CVs
QM/TM1 controls TM1, QM/TM2 controls TM2, the resonances are not controlled by external CVs
QM/TM1 controls QM1 and QM2 simultaneously, QM/TM2 controls TM1 and TM2 simultaneously
Applications:
Stereo filter: two different audio signals are connected to the audio inputs. At the outputs appear the filtered signals. The filterings depend upon the positions of the manual controls and the applied control voltages.
Serial mono filter: the mono signal is applied to audio input 1. Audio output 1 is connected to audio input 2. The filtered mono signal appears at audio output 2. One has to pay attention that the filter parameters are set in a way so that a signal will appear at the output. If for example a lowpass and a highpass are daisy chained the frequency of the lowpass has to be higher than the frequency of the highpass. Otherwise no signal will appear at the output.
Parallel mono filter: the audio signal is fed to both audio inputs (e.g. via the normalled sockets In1>In2). By means of a mixer module the audio outputs 1 and 2 are mixed.
The sketch below shows the internal structure of the module in detail.

Release date: about June 2022 (without obligatiion)
All specifications are still preliminary and without obligation !

Weston Precision Audio B2 - Synth voice Demo

video upload by Dziam Bass

"Hello Guys.
Weston B2 is Kick module And also synth voice,
After the last demo kick, today I added the sequencing to show the Synth voice how it sounds - for me it's wonderful. I added some reverb in the last sequence and raised the pitch to get a nice melody
Earlier, I showed sequences and playing with Decay and sometimes adding Sub and some waves.
It's a self-contained synth voice from Kick, so I really like it.

More about module :
B2 contains everything you need to create deep, thumping kick drums or cutting bass lines in one compact 14HP unit: A 1 V/Oct VCO with 4 waveforms, a 3-way waveform mixer with sub-octave sine wave, 2 fast, switchable AR/AD envelope generators, a high quality VCA, and a multi-mode VCF for additional tone shaping!

New features of B2 from B1:
+ New reset/trigger circuit and faster minimum attack times (~25uS) without artifacts
+ Sub-octave sine
+ Wave select saw or 2x saw
+ New VCF with LP/BP/HP selection"
