Chaika: “A low-noise tube preamp based on the rare, high-transconductance Soviet 6S45P triode—not just another 12AX7. It delivers an open, airy high end, a tight low end, and warm second-harmonic distortion, featuring a real-time spectrum analyzer right on the front panel.”
MELISMA: “Standard converters snap phrases to a semitone grid, losing the very essence of the original performance. MELISMA tracks pitch as a continuous line first, slicing it into notes only afterward—so slides, melismas, and quarter-tone steps make it into MIDI rather than disappearing. Designed for duduk, clarinet, zurna, vocals, and saxophone. It tracks a single line—specifically, the one with a distinct contour.”
Olimp-005C: “The Soviet Olimp MPK-005C reel-to-reel deck was a Hi-Fi machine—it was never intended to be a saturator. We took apart its internals—recording amps, bias circuitry, tape path, and heads—and reassembled them into a unique saturator that never existed before. It offers soft tape saturation, natural peak compression, two tape speeds, wow and flutter, and authentic tape hiss and mains hum.”
PEQ-1: “A photorealistic tube-based software equalizer in the spirit of the Pultec. It features legendary passive EQ curves, genuine tube and transformer warmth, and an interface built from photos of the actual hardware—every knob turns and every switch flips exactly as it does on the real unit.”
