KEY FEATURES OF VOSTOK
Pure analogue voice circuitry.
Suitcase style design.
22x22 matrix pin panel.
Rugged Steel construction. Quality chrome catches and cool steel spring handle.
Stuffed full of electronics. No front panel space is wasted.
Joystick, retro-VU meter, MIDI, jack socket patch points, more, more, more!
Please note there have been many improvements over the years, since v1 - mainly the case. Was a little flimsy before, but now it is strong steel, steel sprung handle, quality chrome catches, switchable PSU, solid VCOs, and lots of internal tweaks.

not a great audio
demo, but amusing YouTube video of Vostok!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmDIoWheAQU search YouTube for other great, and bad Vostok demos!! good one here...

Matrix Patch Panel Utilises the ‘EMS VCS3/AKS’ style patch panel, but with an with increased 22x22 connection size. The matrix panel gives the patching versatility of a modular without the need for confusing & front-panel interfering patch cables. It’s the neatest & most versatile method of creating patches. |

External Patching
Matrix panels alone do not allow interfacing with external synthesisers & signals, so the Vostok also provides a full complement of front panel jack socket patch points for additional internal & external patching & interfacing.
The Vostok may at first glance look like an EMS clone, but it is not. It may share the matrix panel and suitcase style design concept, but that’s where the similarities end. The Vostok has far more features packing a powerful amount of modular synthesiser power into one small suitcase. It also has a totally different sound and uses different circuitry. The Vostok is not a Synthi and not intended to be or sound like one. It is an independent synthesiser in it's own right!
Full Spec’..All circuits are totally analogue with the exception of the MIDI interface & Wavetable VCO
