The first duophonic synthesizer based on vacuum and gas-filled radio tubes.

Apparatus is the first duophonic synthesizer. The audio path of the instrument, completely created on the basis of vacuum and gas-filled radio tubes using circuitry solutions in the spirit of the first half of the 20th century, is controlled by a modern powerful processor based on the ARM core, which ensures stability of characteristics and instant response to the artist's manipulations. All synthesizers are hand-assembled and produced in a limited edition.

Specification:

kenoton rectifier power supply

audio path based entirely on radio tubes

two independent thyratron oscillators with quartz frequency stabilization, which ensures frequency accuracy throughout the entire operating range

voltage-controlled second order filter with the possibility of self-oscillation and overdrive

voltage-controlled amplifier, based on the traditional schematic of tube opto compressors

triode asymmetric overdrive

analogue VU meter

CV / Gate inputs to control the oscillators pitch (OSC-1, OSC-2 CVs), filter cutoff frequency (VCF CV) and amplifier amplitude (VCA CV)

External Input for signal processing from external audio devices

velocity-sensitive ADSR envelope generator with two trigger modes

Clock synchronizable low-frequency oscillator with retrigger option and smooth waveform morphing: saw-triangle-reverse saw in triangle mode or pulse width modulation in square wave mode, sample & hold
