Demo of the DIY synth Pollux Mimi
Here’s a video captured at the SyltJam in Malmö this week-end. The designer explains the highly advanced DIY synth Pollux Mimi. The voice is in Swedish only, sorry.
Demonstration of the Pollux MiMi-a 6-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer.
Built by Ricard Wanderlöf in 1987.
This amazing synth features 6 voices with two oscillators per voice plus sub-oscillator, controlled digitally by a Z80 processor and lots of home-built logic. Each oscillator has individual envelopes. It has a filter that is based on a design found in the Moog Rogue, it has a mod that allows CV-control of the resonance (the synth is even signed by Bob Moog). It’s built entirely on copperless veroboard!
