Our shop selling legendary USSR synthesizer - Polivoks"Polivoks" was developed at the Ural plant "Vector" in 1982-1989 years. However, production took place on "Formanta" radio factory. Polivoks had to become a substitute of American and Japanese synthesizers, produced by the Roland’s, the Moog’s and the Korg’s companies. Synthesizer base was developed by a leading engineer Vladimir Kuzmin. The designers were inspired by the design of the soviet military radio. The retail price was 920 rubles, while the medium month salary was 200 rubles. The exact number of synthesizers is unknown. However, approximate number is considered to be 100 000 units. "Polivoks" has a number of unique features among analog monophonic synthesizer. An ability to switch between the modes filter, the bandpass filter and the low-pass filter. Two generators can automatically repeat the “attack” and “release” phases. The input allows to broadcast an external signal (Guitars, electric piano, electric organ). An ability to independently mix sounds (via Mixer) in any possible proportions. There are 4 octaves on the keyboard. The inclined desk consists of the following functional sections: Modulator, Generator #1, Generator #2, Mixer and Amplifier. Giving a possibility to synthesize a broad spectrum of sounds and as well as the chance to change sounding at any time. There are 3 internal sound signal sources: the two of them are broad-ranged generators which have changeable form of oscillations; the last one is a noise generator for creating non-musical sounds such as wind, surf, whine, etc.SpecificationsMains voltage of alternating current, V 220Power consumption, W max 10A range of operating temperature, C -10 / +35Relative generator drift over 4 hours continuous work is within, % max +/- 05Total musical range overlapped by main generators, Hz 21,8 (F of sub contra octave), + 5274 Hz (E of fifth octave)Tuning range of the main generators, % min +/- 12 (+/- 1 tone)Detuning range of the second generator, % min +/- 25 (+/- 2 tone)Frequency change range of the cutoff frequency of the filter, Hz min 100 + 10000Dynamic range of the synthesizer, dB min 60Inlet voltage of the synthesizer in a load 10 kOmLow output voltage, V 0,025High output voltage, V 0,25Dimensions of the synthesizer - 780х490х195 mmWeight, kg ~ 17 kg(with case)MIDI IN/THRU with 64 notes, pitchbend, cutoff modulation (cc01) and velocity Adapter from 5 DIN output to Jack 6.3, power cable and case in complect.ConditionThe condition of this Polivoks is really good. It was in good condition then it came to us, and after, it was serviced by master just in case for the longer life and to modify it by a midi installation. Cosmetic condition is not at very high level, so it is not for collectors, we guess. It is more like work horse for your life sessions or writing tracks in styles like: dnb, techno, rave, acid, breakbeat etc. It is in one line with Minimoog, which selling now for ~ 3'500$. So if you don't have such money, this synth would be a good alternative.See demo video please. Sound with some vst reverb.
