Anyone confirm only 30 were produced? You can find a couple of demos of one in prevoius posts here, but no mention of how many were produced. If you know, feel free to comment at the bottom of this post.
"AVP MBS-100 Bass Sythesizer. Incredibly rare only 30 were Hybrid analog-digital synthesis;
Voltage-controlled digital oscillators (VCDO) — two, each with four waveforms: saw, square, pulse 1 (25% rate), pulse 2 (10% rate).
Note: Pulse 1 and 2 are equivalent to PMW but have fixed positioning similar to the likes of «Aelita», «Polivoks» synthesizers for e.g.
Octave ranges — 3 octaves for OSC1 and 5 octaves for OSC2;
Voltage Controlled Filter (VCF) — one fully analog 12 db/oct low pass filter with cutoff and resonance parameters;
Envelope Generators (ADSR) – two;
Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA) – one, fully analog distortion effect selection switch;
Low frequency oscillator (LFO) — one with two waveform options (square and triangle) to control the VCF.
"AVP PolyRhythm dual analog filter + phaser. These are extremely rare as only 20 were ever made. It has two VCFs: Polivoks filter and Ritm-2 filter. It uses authentic Soviet components and circuity in accordance with well-known Soviet synthesizers, produced in USSR back in the 80's and 90's. The Polyvoks has low-pass and band-pass with one input and two outputs (one for each filter) and the Ritm-2 has low-pass with one input and one output. It has an internal LFO and CV inputs for both sides.
One pot was replaced by a certified synthesizer repair store after I accidentally broke it trying to pull off a KickDisk. The replacement pot is the same value and taper as the original.
Power supply included! (For areas of the world with 120V mains)
Specs: Method of signal processing: analog; Voltage Controlled Filters (VCF): two types — POLY (Polivoks filter) and RHYTHM (Ritm-2 filter); The low frequency oscillator (LFO): one — triangle; Audio inputs: two — mono jack socket for 6.3mm; Audio outputs: three — mono jack socket for 6.3mm; CV inputs: two — mono jack socket for 6.3mm — 0V to +10V for Poly and -10V to +10V for Ritm-2; Controls: 8 knobs, 5 switches; Power requirement: 12V AC @ 400 mA; Hard plastic black case; Weight: 1kg; Dimensions: L13,5 x W18,5 x H5,5 (cm);"

"AVP Synth have been making analog drum synthesizers for a number of years now the ADS MK2 is the latest addition to their unique analog drum machine line up. With a complete through hole design the ADS mk2 features 7 drum sounds 4 of which are designed with specific drum sounds in mind; Bass Drum, Clap, Closed Hihat and Open Hihat. The other 3 are designed to give you a wide ranging drum synthesizer that can cover everything else you might need from snare drums to drone synths.
The sequencer is a 16 part sequencer which has record mode, step programming and pattern chaining of up to 16 parts. Patterns can be up to 256 steps. The extra tracks can be used to sequence external gear via MIDI or trigger outputs. Each individual drum synth can also be triggered via external triggers.
The ADS MK2 has been manufactured for the past year or so and AVP Synth are now coming up to their second batch. You can order directly from AVP Synth or from suppliers around Europe."
"The Euterpe Synthesizer Laboratories (E.S.L) Vertice Analog Filterbank is a unique Italian handmade musical processing device. Here it is, along with an AVP Synth ADS-7 Mk2, a Roland DR-110 (bent by circuitbenders.co.uk), the Electron Model Cycles and finally, itself!"
