Here's an extended look at the Analogue Solutions Vostok MATRIXSYNTH synthesizer.
This demo features a variety of sound types and sequences (traditional and non-traditional) demonstrating the Vostok's sound palette and variety of timbres. All sounds, with exception of the obvious acoustic drums (used for context), are created on the Vostok using either traditional patching or the pin matrix -- or a combination of both.
Sounds are being driven by either the on-board sequencer, MIDI sync (via GATE to CLOCK), or direct MIDI connection to a controller keyboard.
Emphasis for this video was more traditional synth sounds (basses, leads, sequences) as there are plenty of non-traditional (fx, ambient, noise) sound demonstrations on YouTube. The filter section at the heart of the Vostok was also a focal point of this video and is tweaked extensively for the various sound types.
Also, see the Telemetry (mini Vostok) in action at the following link:

Great industrial sounds!! Did you get the overdrive from an external effect unit or by overdriving the VCA?

@kebunator That's the Vostok filter (no external overdrive effects used).

@rezfilter is it always gonna sounds really harsh and over driven like that?

@weinbergler Only if you want it to. Being modular, you most certainly can tone it down, bypass the filter entirely if that's the vibe you're after... It's all about the sound you're wanting to achieve at the end of the day -- just patch (or pin) it accordingly.
