EMS Polysynthi

A sudden rush of blood to the brain, made me attempt another Synth emulation, this time a EMS Polysynthi, a rather odd variation in the race for polyphony, See the article on the link below:

Any improvements ideas/advice would be greatly appreciated, my version is aimed at the Sfx sound creators out there, as I believe the original one was. I could not get the colour scheme right on the modules I used. Only 30 synths were built before EMS went bust in 1979.
The sounds on Soundcloud are mp3s due to the long download time onto there.

    With the first, the high frequencies seem a bit loud through my headphones at the beginning. The noises from 1:25 are really great. It’s like brain massage. Very pleasant. I also like the second one. from 1:25 you have the feeling of sitting in a propeller plane above the clouds.

    Thanks, I have changed the filter on the mkii version to Vult Lateralus. Got some more pleasant tones out of it since.
    The ‘Horsehair VCO’ does take a bit of getting used but it can be pleasant at times.
    Glad you like the sample tunes/tones. Is there anything you would change to make it more usable?

    hello, thank you for this patch, but after starting i ‘m a bit lost.
    it sounds complete different and just runs.
    keyboard input has no function…
    is it correct, that gate from midi goes to V/oct input from horsehair?

    any help or ideas?
    i’m using Rack2 on linux.

    Regards
    Karl
