Pricing and Availability of the Upcoming Polivoks Clone by Alex Pleninger

Just in via Alex Pleninger.

"The very first run is ready and the price is defined at $2000. After that the price is going to rise up to $2400."

Note this is a sponsored project and the decision for the price increase following the first run is not Alex's. Introductory price discounts are not all uncommon. The official website with ordering details will follow soon. Until then, enjoy the pics and of course be sure to see the Alex Pleninger label at the bottom of this post for video demos.

Update: Some additional info and new pics below in via Alex:

"All units are and will be hand crafted and made. There're no surface mount components inside, all pcbs use trough-hole design which allows to achieve really vintage flavour in sound and behaviour. Almost 85% of components are rare soviet new old stock. Pots and switches are faceplate-mounted thus very reliable and durable.

The following features were added to the original:

LFO frequency mod, routable from MIDI/CV or Filter EG

LFO additional waveforms (two saws and sine)

RING MOD (beautifully sounding XOR) in Mixer section

bipolar attenuators on LFO mod and Filter EG's depth

overall mod indexes are increased, especially in VCA section

PWM on second oscillator, attenuator and source selector (VCA EG or LFO)

EXT INput acts now as an additional positive feedback loop

thank you,
cheers,
Alex"

Kawai SX-240 (1984) 8 voice analog synthesizer

Published on Apr 16, 2016 Eyepatch Entertainment

"All sounds created on the Kawai SX-240 analog synthesizer.

This isn't greatest rendition of this song, but every part comes from the SX-240.

The sound is like if you crossed a Roland Juno and a Korg Polysix. The oscillators are fat with detuning, and even more so using split mode. Soundwise it is just the best DCO outside of a

The design is wonderful and the synth is small and really well built outside of the battery.

The display is the best part combined with a real keyboard input it has the best patch naming system ever invented.

The analog ensemble is also top notch. Better than the ensemble in the polysix and probably any effects unit in another DCO synth."
