AVP Synth tells us that their MBS-100 is a monophonic bass synthesizer inspired by synthesizers produced in the soviet era times, while having the flexibility, MIDI control and compact 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.

Specifications:

• 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 (can be controlled via CC too)
• 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
• Case: durable steel case with wooden cheeks
• Weight: 1 kg
• Dimensions: L30 x W16 x H8 (cm)
• External power supply – 220v adapter 9 VAC (included)

 

AVP Synth had this to say about the video demo above, "In the first part of the video, MBS-100 is being controlled by Korg SQ-1 step sequencer. No EQ nor effects are applied. In the second part you can hear MBS-100 multitracked in a DAW via MIDI, no EQ has been applied only some reverb and delay at times. Drums are sequenced externally."
