New Polivoks Demo

Синтезатор Поливокс - звуки природы | Polivoks synth - nature sounds

Published on Apr 16, 2017 Pulsar

"Звуковые эксперименты на синтезаторе Поливокс. Все звуки в картине синтезированы.
Наибольший эффект можно получить используя наушники.

Sound experiments on the Polyvox synthesizer. All the sounds in the video were synthesized.
Use headphones."

This one in via Soviet Space Child.

They will be at SUPERBOOTH17:

"We present an authentic reincarnation of the legendary soviet synthesizer Polivoks, with some additional features making it easier to be integrated in contemporary studio or live situations. The enclosure is sturdy but lightweight and fits in most handbags thus perfectly ready for the gig. All units are handcrafted and meticulously checked and tuned."

Polivoks Clone Limited to 100 Units & A Note From Creators Alex Pleninger & Alexey Taber

The new Polivoks clone from Alex Pleninger is now available for order, and for auction on the official site for the new synth. The units will be limited to 100 units. The starting price if you go the auction route? $1850. The buy it now price? A whopping $4000. Before you blame the creators Alex Pleninger and Alexey Taber, Pleninger asked me to post the following for them. BTW, it's worth noting $1850 for a brand new Polivoks is only slightly more than just half of a new Minmoog Model D, and that's for a limited run of only 100 synths. The $4000 BIN is a cap to ensure it does not cost anyone more than that, so technically they are limiting themselves, not the buyer. If it were auction only, the price could theoretically go above that and technically there is nothing forcing the price to hit $4k.

via Alex:

"Hello everybody,

Many of you could already hear that our Polivoks' first and only run is on auction now.

Do believe, this decision is not ours and has no connection with us at all.

Anyway, we are still very proud of what we've done - the synthesizer promises to take it's humble place in history, at least we hope so :)

Thanks to everybody for supporting us and for kind words!

Sincerely yours

Alex Pleninger and Alexey Taber"

It's rare that we see a message like this, so thanks to Alex for sending this in. One thing to consider, is the number of units is limited to 100 so the high price will make the decision for many to skip one easier. Not to mention, there are still originals out there.

New Soviet Polivoks Desktop Synth from Alex Pleninger in the Works

Update: demo videos added below.

An approved clone of the Polivoks coming from Alex Pleninger.

Update:

Some new info from Alex Pleninger in via Soviet Space Child:

"The most important parts (defining sound) are soviet old stock, it includes filter, vca and both envelope generators
The osc are heavily reworked to provide stability, which is really excellent
Modulator made cv controlled, with additional waveforms
And all stuff is still 100% analogue
Excluding midi"

I asked him further about the VCO designs, i.e. if they're based on the originals, and he had this to say:

"Yes, the design is almost the same as in the old one
And one more point
The machine is approved by Kuzmin
We signed a deal
And it is built like a tank, believe me"

And via traffkin in the comments: "in close collaboration with Alexey Taber, great engineer and synth guru :)"

Curious if these are SynthSpa's. Note there is no mention of the JX-3P. The MKS-30 is known to be a JX-3P in a rack with some modifications. The PG-200 programmer works on both.

Update via Alexey: "I developed my own project for the repair roland synths . in the future I plan to add different versions of the project : 12/24 db switch (like in roland jupiter8), aditional filter switch -add board with more classic filters polivox/moog ladder/korg ms/steiner-parker/arp4075.

and i do clone mc5534 fo juno106. i plan to modify original schematic of mc5534 to add additional tuning voice(2th dco). i maked juno 106 chorus mod- to reduce noise and add 3 channel essembly chorus, add speed, depth ,feedback pot.....
With best regards Alexey"
