Analogue monosynth keyboard with analogue sequencer

Review: Analogue Solutions are proud to announce availability of Leipzig-S, the latest addition to its lengthening line of critically-acclaimed, quality-crafted boutique designs from founder Tom Carpenter in the true spirit of vintage analogue synthesisers befitting the true analogue synth enthusiast.

Evolving from its namesake Leipzig (rack-mounting) and Leipzig-k (keyboard-endowed) analogue monosynth predecessors, the rack-mountable/tabletop Leipzig-S literally goes several steps further by incorporating an in-built eight-step analogue sequencer that can be used to produce simple melodic lines as well as acting as a modulation source to affect the filter cutoff (or to create additional effects, depending on other control settings). VCO1, VCO2, and the VCF are all available as sequencer destinations; seemingly simple, yet favourably flexible, the step sequencer can be creatively controlled (clocked) by multiple sources, at audio frequencies (using VCO2 as a clock source), or using the output of the sequencer itself as an audio source to be played via MIDI while the eight step controls then alter the waveform/tonal content, for example, such are the adventurous advantages of packaging an analogue step sequencer with a true analogue monosynth.

The entire design is traditional early-eighties analogue (voice and modulation) circuitry, comprised entirely of discrete components and op-amps (bar, of course, the digital sequencer controller and MIDI-CV interfacing); since the Leipzig-S is a strictly no-memory affair, all controls are not quantised, resulting in an authentically vintage sound, replete with musically desirable quirks and subtle artifacts (much in the same way that, say, a valve amp or vinyl record adds sonic character), unlike some other modern analogue synths that arguably sound almost as perfect as DSP analogue modelling.

With electronic percussion having influenced the choice of routings, the Leipzig-S boasts a huge range of modulation possibilities to facilitate creating the widest possible range of sounds, including deep basses, sound effects, analogue loops and (obviously) electronic drum sounds. With this, his latest design, true analogue synth enthusiast Tom Carpenter is confident that he has achieved a modern analogue synth that truly does sound vintage.

The SK is almost identical to the S. But with the addition of a MIDI controller keyboard.

Multi-channel analogue sequencer offers 16 steps

Review: The Oberkorn is a fully fledged professional analogue sequencer providing plenty of control outputs and inputs and with some unique creative features never before seen. Whilst most new analogue sequencers only offer a limiting 8 steps, the Oberkorn offers the all important 16 steps. It is a multi-channel true analogue sequencer with some remarkable features.

8-step analogue sequencer

Review: The Station Q is like half an Oberkorn sequencer. It is identical to Oberkorn, except that it is 8 step instead of 16, and does not have the MIDI features. The Station Q is the perfect companion to the Station X/Y mini-modular combo.

Mini-modular synthesizer

Review: The Station X is a compact mini-modular synthesiser. It contains all the essential ingredients to form complete synth patches.

Think of it as a mini Red Square or Tereshkova. In fact, a mini Red Square is a good analogy. If has the same filter and similar key features (though Red Square is 2 VCO).

The Station X is ideal for beginners who want to dip their toes into the world of modular synths, the travelling producer who wants to take a true analogue modular synth around to different sessions, or home musician who perhaps is limited for space.

The Station-X comes with 5 x splitter leads, so you can feed a signal (source) to 2 x destinations. This is like having 5 x mini-multiple modules built in.

Module means no case or power provided, so it is a bare module that will fit into your own modular synth case (doepfer, concussor or other eurorack. Requires 6 free power sockets). The module will not work on it's own. You must provide it with power.

Keyboard version of the Telemark (SEM modular keyboard)

Review: The Telemark provides exactly the same features as the Semblance, but with the addition of modular synth patch points. This in effect turns it into a semi-modular design and means it can be interfaced to other modules and synths very easily.

The Telemark is a sturdily made white metal wedge, populated on the left side of the panel by lots of knobs and a few LEDs. The right side is devoted to a series of 1/8" sockets designed to provide access to core points in the synth's signal path. The back panel has a small socket for the supplied external PSU, MIDI input/thru, as well as 1/4" jack sockets for the main audio output and 2 external audio inputs.

The Telemark is an easy-to-use and fine-sounding synth, which is capable of a wide range of sounds. It uses the patch panel to add another dimension and offers some great options for processing external audio as well as transforming the internal palette. The MIDI spec gives the Telemark the ability to respond to both note on/off and velocity information for VCA and VCF sections. The patch panel allows you to route these elsewhere should you need to and a MIDI controller can be assigned to modulation duties should you wish.

The Telemark is a Oberheim SEM inspired synth like the Anyware Tinysizer, the Semtex XL and the Analogue Solutions Semblance are.

The Telemark-K is similar to original SEM but with Sample and hold, LFO square wave, noise, extra inputs, many more signal modulation options via rotary switches.

Analogue synthesizer

Review: Analogue Solutions manufacture the real deal when it comes to analogue synths.

The Telemetry is a mini version of the company's Vostok synth, and offers some great features including pure analogue voice circuitry (of course), mini-pin matrix patch panel to eliminate the use of patch cables, MIDI in for sequencer or keyboard control, white noise, and an X/Y non-sprung joystick. There's even on-board MIDI-CV conversion with pitch, auxiliary CV outputs, and gate.

Analogue pin-matrix synthesizer

Review: From UK manufacturer Analogue Solutions came the Vostok, a portable modular synthesizer that provides plenty of basic functions for producing and manipulating audio, as well as a few esoteric capabilities. Most notable are its matrix panel for patch programming and its suitcaselike box. Both are reminiscent of the classic EMS Synthi A that was highly regarded in the 1970s. Analogue Solutions stress that the Vostok is not a Synth A clone but is, rather, a configuration of modern electronics that borrows some of EMS's most practical design ideas.

The Vostok's modules include 2 x analog oscillators, a digital wavetable oscillator, a noise generator, 2 x filters, a voltage-controlled amplifier, 2 x ADSR generators, 2 x LFOs, a mixer, a ring modulator, and an 8-step analog sequencer. A built-in MIDI-to-control-voltage converter interfaces the Vostok with modern sequencers and other MIDI gear. With the exception of the MIDI circuitry and the wavetable oscillator, all the Vostok's circuits are completely analog.
