Here's an image of the prototype in standard Behringer desktop & eurorack format.
"Two years ago Vladimir Kuzmin and Behringer entered into a collaboration to develop a new Polivoks synthesizer. Here now is the latest prototype, which is now undergoing thorough testing and hopefully the approval of Vladimir."
I built the Wave Animator from the kit: it's very straightforward with a small part count and easy assembly.
I most certainly did not build the Foldiplier. It's got lots of parts and does not
look to me like an easy project. (Zlob's web page rates its difficulty at 3.5/5)
They're both waveshapers, but with very different approaches. The Wave Animator is based on an Ian Fritz design that produces two pulses whenever it sees an input wave. The Foldiplier is a more "standard" wavefolder/harmonics generator, with the caveat that it has a feedback mode best described as 'pissed off.'
"I've used this same patch for the previous two video explorations. I will conclude and pull this patch now and move on. These three videos are a tribute to Rob Hordijk's genius: the fact that, without changing patch cables and only adjusting knobs, I can get such diverse characters of self-playing patches! I don't find this kind of range and variety on my other synths."

"Quick demo of the Crumar BIT99 i fully serviced. In the frst part i flip through a few patches to let you hear how this one can sound, mainly for bass/lead/keyboards sounds. And in the second part I focus on pads and i run the synth through a custom built Wersi Wersivoice analog triple chorus. As you can hear i can turn the BIT99 into a great string machine and more.
Record with no other FX or treatment.
Pardon my playing, I'm better at servicing these instruments than playing them :-)"
"Here is your chance to grab a unique combo in the form of 6 voice analog polysynth and a custom made BBD triple chorus ensemble effect.
The Crumar BIT99 was fully serviced: - power supply electrolytic capacitors replaced - voice board electrolytic capacitors replaced - firmware upgraded with Tauntek one: you can now easily control and program the synth with any midi controller - keyboard dismantled and contacts and bus bar cleaned - meticulously calibrated - panel board and case fully dismantled, cleaned and polished - custom made real wood side end cheeks
It sounds, plays and looks awesome. It does has some wear and scuffs but it is in great condition. STAND IS NOT INCLUDED.
The Wersivoice was custom built and is a great addition to any synth, analog or digital. It simply can turn anything into a great string machine, and more. Very simple, no control: sound in sound out. There is a 3 positions switch with ON / MUTE / (true) BYPASS positions. It runs directly from 230v. Since it's DIY it doesn't look perfect."
"This video explores a technique that I researched this past week. Drums are my most proficient instrument, so this technique lets me record more natural "live" sounding drum parts into a DAW or Groovebox.
I'm using the Roland SPD-30 drum pads (a successor to the Octapad ). I'm not using the internal SPD-30 sounds, I'm just outputting the stream of MIDI notes.
I'm using the eMu XL-7 Command Station (groovebox) to record the MIDI notes as well as producing the sounds associated with those notes. The XL-7 is a great desktop Workstation platform. The sounds are great and there are so many hands on controls:
16 knobs, plus volume and data encoder 49 switches 13 performance pads plus a ribbon controller
The rack mount successor to the XL-7 is the flagship eMu Proteus 2500."
