The MBS-100 Is A Mono Bass Synth Inspired By Soviet Era Synths

AVP Synths have just announced a new monophonic bass synth. Before we question whether we actually need another one (Moog Mother 32, Behringer D, Roland SE-02... etc) check out the specs on this one. Plus being inspired by Soviet era synths will likely give it a different vibe to the aforementioned mono synths.

We're waiting on a video with line out audio to arrive so we can actually hear this lovely looking synth in action.

Here's details and photos from Guga Gusein / AVP Synths in the meantime:

MBS-100 is a monophonic bass synthesizer inspired by synthesizers produced in the soviet era times while having the flexibility, MIDI control and compact steel package of the 21st century. It has 19 knobs, 3 switches and 4 buttons with which you can control the parameters of the sound and MIDI.

AVP Synths MBS-100 include MIDI In & Out.

MBS-100 Details:

• Method of synthesis – 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 similar to PMW but are fixed similar to «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.
• MIDI interface - MIDI In, MIDI Thru (16 channels + Omni);
• Audio output - one mix output (mono 6.3 mm jack);
• Controls - 19 knobs, 3 switches, 4 buttons and 11 LED indicators;
