Какого года синтезатор? 1966 он сказал?
@@user-uh2di2xo5l More likely 1986.
This is exactly what I want a synth to sound like
Me too
The trick is saturation on the filter.
@@ThatBonsaipanda whoa, that's so true
You can get it dude lol
I like the bright colors... Better than Roland !
Thank you for this presentation. However some notes. That knob which you call detune is originally chorus control. It has switcher in ccw position. Chorus itself has one bbd delay line with constant clock modulation, and knob controls the depth of modulation. The switcher of this knob switches both delay line and direct channel throuh 2 LPFs because delay line can propely work in the limited frequency band. That's why the timres sound a little bit doll in this mode. So to hear original sounding you must not only set the knob chorus in its minimum position but also switch it off with the click in ccw position. I see that you never switch it off.
Oh I had no idea! That explains a lot about the sound. Thanks for clarifying.
@@Hainbach You are welcome!
Not to be found in America. I am sad.
@@kevinbirge2130 even in Russia a lot of them are half broken unfortunately
Hellow from currently -42°C Siberia!
What's ccw and bbd? Can't seem to google up all these abbreviations.

It sounds like a late 1980s Noir computer game in which the story is told through still-art screens while you struggle with the awkward cursor/text interface. In other words....
Glorious.
Maybe like Boards of Canada? ruclips.net/video/yJj24t6nOn4/видео.html

When you pull up to the 80’s synth party, and everyone’s got a DX-7.
You pull out your Maestro, and everyone crowds around you.
How does one become invited to synth parties?

Hainbach covers a forgotten synth, he smiles, he loves. The price goes up 500% We love him for it regardless.
Then he sells it again. BOOM. 😂
wonder if he buys two of everything and sells one after the video haha he certainly has a lot of expensive looking things in the studio
@@DarkSideofSynth now it's around 200$. In Russian's ebay-like sites very often even under this. It's be funny if after this vid those synth going up to 1000$

Now I wanna see a whole Sovietwave piece done exclusively with USSR instruments.
You definitely need to get hold of some Soviet guitars. They're so cool and just as aesthetically pleasing.
for example-solo II(bass or guitar with build-in fuzz and phazer) and legendary URAL))

И как это развидеть?

Егор Летов внешне стал шире.
It has a Bladerunner vibe, haunting, noisy, depressing, futuristic and retro at the same time.
Ok, give 4 yo eat now and 4 to Take away...
I mean it may sound depressing because he's playing depressing chords 😅
I think it’s the fact that it is so perfect but out of tune at the same time and I love that
Cs-80 is what Vangelis used for bladerunner
No it doesn't.
I loved that there's not too many options. I'm a firm believer that restrictions breed creativity. And I feel paralyzed with too many options.
It's all about making the most with the tools at hand. Creative problem solving
This is interesting topic to study for me. I feel the same. Do you have some materials for reading or watching on topic of restrictions leading to better creativity?
Agree, same, instead of making music, we choosing sounds
It is probably very suitable for beginners.
In other words chip tune
Exactly. Too many options somehow has led to generic everything.
This whole machine sounds like it's playing back from a VHS.
Звучит прелестно. Звуки закрадываются в душу. Это прекрасно.
I love how it sounds like a degraded tape recording all by itself! Beautiful synth
Now watch as this synth's price absolutely explodes on Reverb in spite of Hainbach's cautioning
@Brandon Lucia Now they’re going for $720

Currently 2 on reverb for over £1000. :(
@@ChrissV234 whomst could have predicted this outcome :/
Он звучит будто из советских мультфильмов, которые я смотрел. Он звучит так холодно, но стоит тебе пустить его в душу, как он становится теплым, и пусть музыка написана в миноре, ты все равно чувствуешь себя счастливым.
It sounds like from Soviet cartoons that I watched. It sounds so cold, but as soon as you let it into your soul, it becomes warm, even if the music is written in a minor key, you still feel happy.
Тебе тоже в рекомендации попалось? У меня такие-же ощущение. Буд-то сижу и смотрю старые мультики. Сижу в закулисьях звуко записи и смотрю как создаются музыка. Такие ощущение невозможно передать. Настолько глубоко и тонко...
Тоже посмотрел с удовольствием,как же он хорошо звучит!
Да да а фильмы 80х начала 90х, там же эмбиент играл прям с этого синта)
@@ipman2374 Ты глухой?! Он звучит отвратительно. Есть пара сносных тембров.
@@user-hk5ot3gq3t Не пи..ди! Не было этого гроба в Союзмультфильме!
Some countries add instant flavour to stuff: if your food is Italian, you know it's gonna be good. Same thing for German beer, Japanese cartoons, American invasions, you get my point. So whenever I read the word Soviet next to Synthesizer, I know it's gonna be juicy, and I'm never disappointed! I'm actually planning on having the panel on my Roland Gaia substituted with one that has cyrillic writing, I can read it so it's not a problem, also it will look cool as shit! Great video, stay safe.
"American invasions" you made my day))
I think German electronic school is more respectable, so many musicians going from where, Klaus Schulz, Tangerine Dream, and many..
You played the first sounds and I was already in love
The only one listed on Reverb sold immediately after this video was posted 😂
I know.
probably him that bought it :)
He can now add “salesman” to the already lengthy list of skills to his resume!
@@vancej.5686 If Hainbach isn't cornering the market on whatever cheap, obscure synth he's going to cover next to make a killing when the resale value spikes, he's capitalisming wrong.
@@Darwinist I mean it’s a Soviet synth, capitalism should be nowhere near it
Countdown to Arturia adding MA3CTPO V in V Collection 12.
Wondering if Arturia will add Polivoks in Collection V.
I’d buy that plug-in. There’s a haunting beauty to it, I dig it.
Magic trick, I can write МАЭСТРО like that )
Bet that Behringer will do both Маэстро & Поливокс in hardware way earlier :-)
This sounds exactly how I would imagine a soviet synth sounds like.
Hainbach soviet-wave when?
Just in time for when RUclips recommends sovietwave to me
Check out Detriti records. They’ve been putting out some great stuff lately
ruclips.net/video/rC_ZDuFPkKg/видео.html
Same lol
Did you listen to "На заре" (Na zare)? If not, I highly recommend
@@_Dwarkin Kim & Buran👈👍
This synth just SOUNDS Soviet, doesn't it? When I hear it I envision a dreary art film shot in black and white. It makes no difference what you play on, it always comes out in a minor key.
This was my first thought, it even sounds Soviet. I love your B&W art film idea, and can totally see it.
@@marienbad2, Sepia. Brown and white. Not even properly black, for an extra emotional look.
Soviet films were not always black and white and films were not gloomy. Soviet cinematography is still considered the standard of the film industry throughout the world, and especially in Hollywood.
@@user-pm9jh3ge5q Got it. I was talking of my impression, not necessarily reality.
@@vprice509 I also understood you, but you compared it as if all Soviet films are of the same color and shade. So I wrote you a comment.But you're right there are some movies that resemble this
Damn…almost every note sounds like the beginning of a vaporwave track…I’m impressed…
No it doesnt
@@MD-fu6ly your mom thinks so…
@@MD-fu6ly oh wait, your mom is a silicone chip…
This sounds amazing! I love how you show these niche synths, and honest reviews.
I wish someone would make a vst based on this
Samples from Mars website, just got it for $39! These are only $19 I think
there are so many synths like this, nothing special
@@alexptvz1076 what other synths have this sound out of interest?
@@carsten. have you ever tried Fruity DX VST, for example? Any FM synths sound close, you can find many emulations of them
@@alexptvz1076 in theory it has the same sound but have you listened to this synthesizer? it has so many layers of depth that will be hard to replicate without a bunch of effect plugins.
MIDI-mod is a thing, i had it made for me by a local master here in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. He also changed couple of presets to have a long (fixed) attack for more ambient stuff.
привет!
ты не мог бы поделиться контактами?)
This synth is just insane. I want to make some darkwave with it
There many better options for that style.

This is a time travel machine from the country that no longer exists.
I just stumbled on this video as the first from your channel I've seen, and I must say thanks for this. The sounds you're getting from this machine are so nice I can almost taste the music. Extremely cool.
Polivoks filter is just one of the most awesome filters ever made.
Awesome vid, thank you for sharing! I loved the demo you did around 5:45. Something about how the overtones come in on some notes gives it a resonant microtonal quality which i love. Probably because I'm a guitar player. Thanks again!
I could listen to music made with this synth for hours, what a beautifully unique sound, warm, but distant, mellow
Thanx for Do this, man! Was nice composition!
I really wasn't expecting that track at the end, I really enjoyed it! I hope you will be including it in an album some day.
Definitely has it's own sound and proves the old saying that sometimes, less is more.
!!!
dude this had me tearing up for some reason, each note just sounds so longing and it made me sad lol
Yeah, I feel you.
The sound from Maestro has Emotion and character from a broken heart and depressed person and also wonderful at the same time.
That's what life under Soviets was.
Weird.
Your videos are cozy and truly magical, Hainbach!
thanks for such a great video. amazing sounds, great probing the instrument, and sick jam at the end too :D
I WANT ONE NOW!!! Fell in love from the 1st note, even from the thumbnail.
You just nailed the track! Re-watching for the 3rd time, still bangig my head xD
What an incredible synth! Thanks for the presentation.
Why is that Soviet and Italian synths and drum machines have so much more character than the usual fare? I mean, not only in sound, but it design and aesthetics. Makes them so attractive to me.
I’ve always been fascinated by these iron curtain devices, but I’ve never heard one sound as good as this one! Thanks for sharing this!
Amazing synth, so organic and timeless!
Beautiful instrument, thanks for the review.
I love your channel!!
You tube recommended your channel and I dig it!! Thanks for sharing.🎃
That is the most unique sounding little synth I've ever heard 😮
It certainly sounds very different than American or Japanese synths, has bags of character!
So cool!! Grey is the right color for it. Your demonstration playing is like a mini-concert. It sounds beautiful.
wow! awesome sound and a very nice thing from the past! really enjoyed the video!
This synth has so much character!
Wow! What an amazing character... This is the most characterful electronic instrument I've ever heard. It sounds SO specific. wonderful.
Wow !! What a cool synth. Warm and such dreamy sound! And the track you made is epic! Wow thanks ❤️🤗
i like your music and your hairstyle, keep on working on your tracks, its sound awsome!
i really like how warm this synth sounds. I'm sure that's part of the lofi nature of it, but something about how the filter, reverb-like decay, and overall timbre... mmmmmm very nice.
You have Maestro and Polivoks, now you need a Kvintet to make the perfect Kuzmin triplet. Divide down string synth with a limited selection of sounds but its really, really nice. Got one a few months ago and its joyous! Has a lovely analogue chorus refered to by Mr Kuzmin as his 2 point unision, makes a rich sound that, if you love Maestro, you will love too.
Bravo! HAppy New Years! :)
The intro/outro song you made was one of the best things I've heard in a long time!
Literally the 5th time watching this. Really evokes an emotion or feeling I didn’t think I’ve experienced. Man what id do for one of these.
ikr i just want a vst plugin already of it
5:40 Man I'd love to hear this recorded into the wire recorder, you'd be coming full circle Soviet-style
Nice video about this forgotten synthesizer. Very big thanks!)
sounds tremendous...absolute wahnsinn. new to this great channel! much love and support from münchen
I'm blown away by how amazing this Soviet synthesizer sounds. And the track at the end of the video has some Soviet electronic music feel to it. I would love to see a cover of Zodiak's eponymous track , Zodiak, made on this synthesizer. I guess that the Soviets made some unique sounding instruments.
if the composers for stranger things s4 don’t use this for the score, then they’re missing out cuz it’d be perfect for the time period, location, and conflict.
The dudes who make the music are in a band called S U R V I V E. Check them out, it’s great!
Nah.
Awesome video!!! And love the music!! 🎶😍💖
Thank you for all your work! Best regards 🎊
Привет.... that piece at the beginning/end was FABULOUS.... I love the way it blended techno with "70s synth music"... if you were to do an album of that, I'd be racing over to bandcamp to buy my copy. :) :) :)
i love the sounds maestro can make, they sound beautiful
Great review - great instrument - your playing was inspirational too. I'm invested in software tho - need that synth!
Sounds wonderful and haunting. Very cool video
I love the 'i want an interesting noise' moment of just giving the spring reverb a whack :)
As a person born in BelarusSSR I consider myself an descendant of people who build that machine, glad to see how you are excited. Thank you for the gratitude of appreciation of a device of prehistoric culture.
My respects on your skills, masters can shine instruments.
I think you meant to say that you’re a descendant of them, not an ancestor but whatever. I’m more pissed about the hypocrisy that I would have to buy one, because your commie ancestors were hypocrites that don’t evenly spread the wealth or the fruits of the means of production like they claimed to be in favor of. It’s sort of like how I would have to buy a Che Guevara t-shirt.
Communism sucks and the synths in the capitalist west and the music industry in the capitalist west produced far greater and more beloved sounds than anything behind the Iron Curtain.
And look at Belarus now, how could you be proud of it?
@@logicalconceptofficial thanks for pointing my mistake. I by no way support political system of current Belarus, or Soviet Union, but here political system is not something people choose, but more kind of a natural disaster. We have no choice but to leave our birthplace or enjoy our life here, and that synth is from people who enjoy the life despite anything, and such people produce gems. And that is what I appreciate in people, not in the system.
Also I appreciate people who find these gems and make them shine.
Lovely sounds, and the track is great.
What an amazing sound! It's like it has a built in texture to the sound
The synth that Bald and bankrupt would play if bald and bankrupt would play synths.
Exactly!
Der Synthesizer hört sich so himmlisch und athomospherisch an, vielen dank für die Vorstellung!
Good video! nice tune!!
vintage gear never sounded so good!! thanks for the samples and that track!! keep up the great work.
Reminds me of the Poly-800 with its digital osc/analog filter combo that for some reason always ends up sounding beautifully dusty and worn.
8:50 can't stop listening to this part. Wish it was a full track.
Yeeesss can’t stop!!!!🥺
IKR, he really needs to like to expand it. its better than 90% of the NRW stuff.
Could have been on Stranger Things.
The presentation at the end was bomb!
excellent synth video!
Очень атмосферно звучит)
много лет назад довелось пощупать эту машину...
кстати, вес у Маэстро тоже внушительный 😁
Wow, great sounds!
man your melodies are beautiful
Sovietwave is trippy in its differentness. Frickin' love it.
Like hearing about the rare stuff.
Thanks dude
oh my, this synth has such a rich and clear sound. Great find.
Наконец-то я увидел инстумент, на котором были написаны все саундтреки фильмов СССР!

@@blimolhm2790 phone number is not the main issue. How should you manage shipping? And what makes you think you not going to be cheated by seller?
На Авито их ещё и не найти. Правда, Маэстро, при всём уважении к Владимиру -- это не очень интересный аппарат, искать и не нужно.
Я играл на нём немножко в начале 90-х -- скучноват. Транзисторный звук (как я это называю) надоедает очень быстро, основная практическая фишка многоголосых инструментов -- пэды -- на Маэстро накрутить совершенно невозможно. Что ещё остаётся? Клавишные? Маллеты (ксилофоны и т.п.)? Язычковые духовые? Нет возможности накрутить ни то, ни другое, ни третье.
Всякие как-бэ-брассы... ну, разве что их более-менее неплохо можно сделать.
Поверьте, в саунд-дизайне я чуть-чуть разбираюсь :-)
Но Кузьмин смог сделать ШЕДЕВР! Поливокс, конечно, затыкает за пояс практически все остальные советские синты, ну, и в каком-то аспекте -- многие несоветские.
@@theMerzavets Интересно, спасибо за коммент! Про Поливокс согласен полностью. А что из многоголосых советских можете посоветовать? Как раз чтобы пэды и полифонические арпеджио?
I love this synth too & have had the good fortune to own one for a good few years now. I have the midi mod & it does open a whole new knob twisting, octave bouncing universe 😎

This takes me back to being a kid during the early 80’s watching movies and TV shows that had synth soundtracks. Terminator, War Games, Firefox, Miami Vice, and many others had wonderful synth soundtracks.
