Pricing and Availability
The first Vostok2020 batch is in production and available to order for purchase, priced at £3,200.00 GBP (excluding tax and delivery).
Only £3,200.00 GBP (excluding tax and delivery)…
Lol, I’ll pass.
I understand the price of boutique company products but there are so many relatively cheap instruments now that are very good and have a great modern interface, how can you justify buying a instrument like this? You can buy a whole set of instruments that are all you need to produce all kinds of music.
(Analogue Solutions has also good less pricey products)
Does this chinese low salary advertisement have to be in EVERY synth conversation?
No, why did you bring it up?
It’s always felt a bit overpriced and doubly so now in this hypercompeitive modular market. But I’ve gotta admit I’ve always wanted to own one of these. The pin matrix is great, the synth architecture is great, and it sounds lush. So lush.
it’s hifi stuff that ends up inspiring everyone indeed. the ideas come across when they’re done just right.
it looks and sounds amazing. their synth Colossus costs 25K so to them i’m sure this is more accessible. but i’m sure the price has to do with development, build time, smaller company etc. but it’s a cool time for synth enthusiasts, there really is something for everyone and the difference in features and sound is not immeasurably vast.
Looks a bit like a cross between a Synthi VCS 3, Arp 2600 and a Moog
Heavy stuff
woah! loving it, wish i could afford it :/
Not fair! Not fair at all! I just bought the Korg ARP 2600 FS!
For a minute there I thought the headline was Vostok 2600 and there was another 2600 coming out this week.
I’ll keep waiting for the 699,- Behringer VCS3 ……
Spring reverbs do wonderful things on synths.
Thanks brexit, double the price of former vostoks
What sounds would I get if I were to sneeze on to the pin matrix? BTW the sounds in the demo video are very impressive.
I didn’t get any „Wow… this sounds very unique feeling” after listening to the demo…
I would like to hear some serious leads or bass and not just these confusing random modular texture which reminds me of a circuit bent Casio keyboard with a point matrix….
