NAMM: Tom Oberheim Checks out the Tiptop PVCO


This one in via Tomio

"Gur of Tiptop Audio showing Tom Oberheim Tiptop's new Polyphonic VCO (PVCO)"

That module was hands down one of the highlights of the show. According to Gur, it's the equivalent of eight Z3000 VCOs in a single module. It sounds amazing.

Analogue Solutions VOSTOK MATRIXSYNTH v2 - Modular Suitcase Synth Demo

Analogue Solutions VOSTOK MATRIXSYNTH v2 - Modular Suitcase Synth Demo (Extended)

YouTube Uploaded by rezfilter on Jan 22, 2012
No affiliation with the site of course. The Vostok is a modular suitcase synthesizer by Analogue Solutions.

"Here's an extended look at the Analogue Solutions Vostok MATRIXSYNTH synthesizer.

This demo features a variety of sound types and sequences (traditional and non-traditional) demonstrating the Vostok's sound palette and variety of timbres. All sounds, with exception of the obvious acoustic drums (used for context), are created on the Vostok using either traditional patching or the pin matrix -- or a combination of both.

Sounds are being driven by either the on-board sequencer, MIDI sync (via GATE to CLOCK), or direct MIDI connection to a controller keyboard.

Emphasis for this video was more traditional synth sounds (basses, leads, sequences) as there are plenty of non-traditional (fx, ambient, noise) sound demonstrations on YouTube. The filter section at the heart of the Vostok was also a focal point of this video and is tweaked extensively for the various sound types.

Also, see the Telemetry (mini Vostok) in action at the following link:

THERE ARE PCB HOLES FOR THE CLOCK IN & CLOCK OUT (TRIGGER OUT) ON THE PCB. I RAN OUT OF SPACE ON THE PANEL. THAT IS WHY THOSE ARE NOT ON THE PANEL. MAYBE I WILL OFFER A DIY EXPANDER PANEL OR IF YOU ARE NIFTY YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN. THE CLOCK INPUT NEEDS A STEREO JACK, AND THE TRIGGER OUT JUST NEEDS A MONO JACK. ANOTHER OPTION IS TO SACRIFICE ONE OF THE CV INPUTS NOT USED AND USE THAT 1/4" JACK LOCATION FOR THOSE CLOCK OPTIONS."
