SOLAR 50 is the unique analogue performance oriented electronic music instrument that is designed for creating movie soundtrack, atmospheric sound, microtonal music, background music and super polyphonic electro symphonies. Variations of sound you can create with «SOLAR 50» are really great. Solar 50 is inspired by early electronic musical developments of the last century, particularly Leo Theremin's instrument called “Harmonium” and other weird Soviet synths like ANS.
CONSOLE effects pedal with interchangeable cartriges. From Reverb and Shimmer to Bit crusher and Glitch effect.
There are 12 cartriges available for start. Each contains 3 effects.
The PLL, is an analog harmonic synthesizer. It turns your input signal into a square wave, and then multiplies or divides the frequency of that square wave, providing overtones and undertones from the original pitch, with extreme timbral intensity. The signal can be multiplied and divided simultaneously, providing an effect like chords.
The String Ringer, is a classic LT 44 transformer ring modulator. It is a modern replica of the Lovetone Ring Stinger. It has 1/4" connections for almost every parameter, making it essentially a module that can be interfaced with any 1/4" gear (or 3.5mm with converters). It has a built in modulator LFO, as well as a VCO to be used as either the Carrier or Modulator. There are three foot switches for LFO on, Bypass/Active, and Oct/ring.
Nitrofuzz is a powerful fuzz pedal which provides different sounds and timbres. suitable for guitar, bass and synthesizers.
sound from high-gain and oscillative to 8bit-ish, torn and compressed.
The fuzz has three transistors in its circuit, one of them being a soviet germanium type transistor from 60’s-80’s.
The idea of the Polyvox Mini analog synthesizer came into mind in 1990, as the junior version of its older brother well known Polyvox full synth. The aim was to develop a way simpler and lighter device that has less components, offers the same broad capabilities, and removes possible flaws of the Polyvox full synth. As the result of this research a new minimalistic schematic appeared. It has fewer controls that are compensated by greater functionality. For example, in the Modulator section the Form switch has been replaced by the controller with triangular oscillation in the middle position and sawtooth shape oscillation smoothly falling in the extreme positions. The controller for the envelope filter input set to zero in the middle position and smoothly increasing its value by turning the knob clockwise while turning the knob counterclockwise increases inverse voltage of the envelope generator. The main synthesizer sections, such as generator, famous Polyvox filter, multimode envelope generator are essentially the same as Polyvox’s ones and have their unique sound. In addition to that, the main generator of the Polyvox Mini doesn’t require any thermal stabilization or adjustment. In general, the simplified schematic delivers the sound appreciated by wide range of musicians by minimal means but with new capabilities. The Polyvox Mini will be released as the keyboardless version with integrated USB and MIDI interfaces. The overall design of the Polyvox Mini is made in collaboration with Ms. Olympiada Kuzmina, Polivoks full synth concept designer. Vladimir Kuzmin
The Polivoks Filter, from Elta Music, utilizes the classic Soviet filter chip for a unique and iconic filter tone. It provides both CV and Expression pedal inputs for ultimate control. With lowpass, bandpass, highpass, and notch filter types, one can shape tones into whole new realms. Also included is added noise, with an on/ off switch and volume level. The pedal is switched on with a switch, rather than a stomp button, catering towards use as a desktop filter.

It provides both CV and Expression pedal inputs, built in LFO, and WOB fader for ultimate control. On board LFO has a fast/slow range switch, and on/off. Separate LFO OUT can be used to control external CV devices. With lowpass, bandpass, highpass, and notch filter types, one can shape tones into whole new realms.
