My four soviet synths in one track 🎹
The title called ~Newski Prospekt~ ✨

The track are made with the following gear:
Formanta Polivoks (1982)
Rodina Alisa 1377 (1985)
RMIF Opus (1986)
Elektronika EM-26 (1992)

The Nevsky Prospekt (Невский проспект) is a 4.5-kilometre-long street in the historic center of Saint Petersburg and one of the most famous streets in the world. The street was laid out between 1711 and 1721 as a link between the Admiralty in the west and the Alexander Nevsky Monastery in the east of the city. From the middle of the 18th century, it increasingly developed into a boulevard as the numerous local aristocrats had their residences built here. I have walked along this street several times myself and have always been impressed by its beauty and vibrancy. The street is the heart of the city. And Saint Petersburg is deeply rooted in my heart.

The video sequences and street ambience are made by my friend Natalja Smirnowa in january 2025"

Tre Modular - Alisa VCF (First Look)

video upload by Tre Modular

"This is first look at our upcoming module - Alisa VCF.

Alisa VCF is ladder filter based on Soviet synthesizers Alisa 1377 and Alisa 1387. This filter combines parts from both models of Alisa synths. With a press of a button you can chose between two output modes and two resonance modes. Giving you four different sounding filters in one.

This is the nastiest sounding filter in the east.

video uploads by Tre Modular

The above is a playlist of demo videos from Tre Modular. You can use the player controls to skip around. You will find demos for individual modules with system jams dispersed througout. Note the videos are in newest to oldest order dating back to 1 year ago. This is the first post to feature Tre Modular.

You can find their modules at https://tremodular.com

Playlist:
1. Tre Modular - Replicant ADSR Demo

Tre Modular - Replicant ADSR is an envelope generator inspired by Yamaha CS80 synthesizers filter envelope section. It has Initial lvl, Attack lvl controls and multi stage decay and release, same as the CS80. In addition to those things Replicant ADSR has sustain control, retrigger function and inverted output that was not present on the CS80 filter envelope, making this a truly unique ADSR.

2. Replicant ADSR first look

Replicant ADSR is a CS80 inspired envelope generator. It has Initial lvl, Attack lvl controls and multi stage decay and release, same as the CS80.

But that's not all, we have expanded on capabilities of this envelope generator by adding sustain control, retrigger function and inverted output making this a truly unique ADSR.

Alisa 1377 Analog Synthesizer (1985) Made in USSR
Ljuberetskij Radioplant "Rodina" in the near of Moscow

The rare synthesizer has 1 VCO with 4 waveforms, waveshaper, PWM, 2 ADSR , VCF, various modulations, vibrato and portamento effects. You can use individual OSC waveforms (triangle, saw, square, waveshape) or mix them together. The later Alisa 1387 has 2 VCOs with Sync and more functions but the sound is very different. The Alisa 1387 demo coming soon.

SSSR Labs Matrixarchate, Kotelnikov And AWS Modules

Published on Aug 12, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"For this video we created a system with SSSR Labs modules as the core sound generators and used their matrix module to route the signals in the system. At 4:32 there is a patch where the Matrixarchate is sequenced to create a rhythmic pattern.

The SM042 Kotelnikov is a wavetable oscillator with the ability to be used as a full synthesizer voice. The SM630 AWS is a non-linear wave-shaper with three different modes. This circuit is based on the harmonics circuit from the rare Alisa-1377 synthesizer that was produced in the USSR. The SM010 Matrixarchate is a 16x8 matrix that is bi-directional and can store presets which can be stepped through with triggers.

Matrixarchate available here: https://www.perfectcircuit.com/sssr-l...

Kotelnikov available here: https://www.perfectcircuit.com/ssr-la...

ALISA 1377 - SOVIET VINTAGE ANALOG SYNTHESIZER with MIDI

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction, also on Reverb.

"Up for sale is extremely rare powerful Soviet vintage analog synthesizer "ALISA-1377". It was made in USSR in 1985 at Luberetskiy Military Radioplant "Rodina" near Moscow. ALISA synthesizers were made especially for experimental electronic music, creating of sound effects in soviet cinema and scientific acoustic researches. This unique instrument has warm, aggressive and absolutely original analog sound! (check the Demo section below photoes)

The synthesizer has 1 OSC with 4 wave forms, ADSR , filter, various modulations, vibrato and portamento effects.

OSCILLATOR: tune; octave +1/+2; portamento; wave forms: triangle, saw, square, odd harmonics; frequency modulation (for all 4 waveforms); impulse-width modulation (for square wave form) with impulse width and depth controls; harmonics (for odd harmonics wave form). You can use individual OSC waveforms (triangle, saw, square, odd harmonics) or mix them together to get unique sounds!

LFO: on/off modulation switch, two waveforms (triangle, square), modulation rate, modulation rate coarse switch - 1Hz/10Hz.

FILTER: cutoff, resonance, vibrato (filter modulation), ADSR, switch between filter control- keyboard or contour OSC (ADSR). The synths filter due to it`s original architecture can be used as additional oscillator when filter`s resonance knob in self-oscillaltion position and it sounds really weird and interesting!

AMPLIFIER: ADSR, main volume, on/off synthesizer.

MIDI Interface: MIDI In & Thru (5Din socket), MIDI On\Off button, MIDI Learn Button.

SSSR Labs - SM630 AWS / Alisa 1377 Waveshaper

Published on Jan 23, 2018 DivKidVideo

"Here's the rather awesome SM630 AWS from SSSR Labs. AWS stands for Alisa Waveshaper, which is based on the soviet synthesiser the Alisa 1377. It builds on the design of the 'harmonics' wave shaper on the soviet synths and expands the features and sound with added voltage control and a dry wet blend. The module works beautifully with the Kotelnikov which I suggest you watch my video for below ;) . It's a great wave-folding VCA based design with added feedback and filter to switch between 3 different colours of saturation."
