images via this auction.

"Great sound. Very fat lows, crystall mids, icy highs. Very good for agressive bass, weird modulations, cool FXs & agressive sounds. Impressive fat saw & cool glidings. Killer 2-Voice mode.

2 VCO with classic waveforms, Noise oscillator and external source. Very strong sounding Analog LP/BP filter with ADSR Envelope, which can play in loop (retrig). You can process external sound through it, such as guitar, vocal, drums or another synthesizer. Amplifier Envelope is ADSR with loop function.

Modulator section is a low frequency oscillator with multiple waveforms and changable rate. LFO roots to amplifier, filter, VCO-1, VCO-2. Polivoks can play like a classic monophonic synth or in 2-voice mode. And also You can modulate VCO-1 with VCO-2 (ringmodulator).

No pitchbend & modulation wheel.

There is a custom made CV/gate modification on the board (1 voice).
Now You can connect analog sequencer (1 volt per octave)
This is very usefull function. Feel free to use it with Your analog sequencer.
