PX V8 is based on an exceedingly rare American polyphonic analog synthesizer, the Voyetra Eight. Released by Octave-Plateau Electronics in 1982, this unassuming 3-space rackmount synth is a 78 lb. analog powerhouse sporting 8 voice cards and an incredibly deep modulation system. With 6 pages of parameters to customize the Voyetra Eight was nothing if not flexible, but in the end it’s the sound that counts and it does not disappoint. Thanks to subtle differences in each of the voice cards and a powerful unison mode, the Voyetra Eight delivers a wonderfully uncompromising analog sound with rich, powerful leads, thick basses, warm, modulating pads, strings and more. A unique instrument with a sound greater than the sum of its parts, the Voyetra Eight packs a huge analog punch into a small frame that until now has largely been lost to time.

I’m always tempted by these, but then I remember that Vintage Vault 4 was momentarily available for ~$125 from Native Instrument. I’ll wait until it hits that price point again and buy the whole shebang.

@pseudopop, UVI is in a pretty unique position for me — I deeply respect them, yet it’s so easy for me to ignore all their products since they’re mostly sample-based. No GAS at all (which is such a good feeling)

I understand that they may not be for everyone, but if you’re referring to my intent to purchase the Vintage Vault, you’re forgetting the most–nay, the only–important thing:

$125 is about $3.50 per instrument.

(It was actually euros for me, but the point stands.)
