Cherry Audio Atomika: An infamous Soviet synthesizer reborn

We take a deep dive into Atomika, a new instrument from our friends at Cherry Audio that recreates the sound (and look) of the classic Soviet synthesizer Polivoks. Polivoks was infamous for its wild filter based on programmable op amps that can go from traditional resonant filter sounds to unstable and gnarly shouts and warbles. This is has been reproduced in this version, which was made in collaboration with Mark Barton, who co-designed several other of the Cherry Audio instruments we have reviewed. 00:00 Introduction 00:25 History of the Polivoks 01:17 Overview 01:50 Oscillator 1 02:46 Oscillator 2 and Frequency Modulation 04:04 The Polivoks FIlter! 16:20 Amp 18:31 Unison and Polyphonic modes 20:38 Effects 28:26 Factory Presets 34:00 Conclusion To found out more, please visit cherryaudio.com _________ Please consider supporting this channel to help us bring you more synthesizer tutorials and other content.
