Vostok suitcase synth with matrix pin patch board, EMS VCS3 Synthi AKS 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!
