Notes: The module was named Kuzmin Filter in the past as a tribute to the developer of the Polivoks, Vladimir Kuzmin. For certain reasons, the module will now be called GRUNGE Filter (due to the sound), with the circuitry remaining unchanged.

The Polivoks was a Russian synth that was produced between 1982 and 1990.This module is the AE version of the filter that gave the Polivoks a unique, rough sound.

Beyond the basic design, this filter offers some additional features:

Two different resonance characteristics, hard and soft
An FM function, that adds the input signal to the modulation of the filter
An optional overdrive for the output, making the sound even more rough and untamed.

Notes: Unique, vintage reverb sound.

The SPRINGREVERB module brings the unique sound of this quite old (introduced in the 60's) technique for creating reverbs to the AE modular.

The reverb works by sending the audio signal to a set of 3 springs; at the other end of the springs the sound is picked up by a transducer, converting the mechanical movement of the springs back into an electrical signal. When the audio signal arrives at the end of the springs, the waves are reflected several times; these reflections create the reverb sound.

The spring "tank" (a metal box containing the springs and transducers, size approx. 24 x 9 x 3.5 cm) is connected externally by a cable.

The product contains all components: The module itself, the spring tank and the connection cable.

Note: The sound of a spring reverb is quite unique and has a strong vintage character; if you are looking for a more "clean", natural sounding reverb please take a look at the MULTIFX module.

Notes: With this cable, you can power your Korg Volca synth(s) directly from the VMIX-10, no need for the Volca power adapters! The cable has a standard 5.5/2.1mm plug on both ends plus an adapter to the 4.0/1.7mm plug that fits in the Volca power in socket. Without the adapter, the cable can be used for other 9V devices with 5.5/2.1 socket, as long as they have a "center positive" power socket.

The length is 50cm; perfect for a compact setup with VMIX-10 and a number of Volcas around.

Please note: the Korg Volcas in the photo are not included, they are for demonstration purposes only.

Notes: In certain situations, noise and hum can appear; this is often caused by so called "ground-loops". This happens quite frequently with Korg Volca synths when powered from the VMIX-10 and audio going to the VMIX-10 inputs.

This cable isolates the audio connection, and the noise is blocked.

The cable has 3.5 minijack mono connectors on both ends and is available in two lengths: 50cm and 100cm.

Please note: the synths in the photo are not included, they are shown for demonstration purposes only.

Notes: Due to the materials and structures of the potentiometers and knobs, the AE knobs are sometimes hard to remove by hand. We created this tool which "grips" the knob from below and has a convenient handle to pull it up.

The synth module is not included, it is shown for demonstration purposes only.
