This item was the preferred USSR analog synth of choice in the 1980’s and now you can get one of these legendary units for yourself. My synth has been used in smoke-free home studio and all features of the machine are working great. It is built like a rock, pure military technology, contacts will last forever. The body is solid and the knobs feel nice. It runs on 220V AC (US customers will need an adaptor). The synth is in excelent looking and musical condition, has been fine-tuned to specs, all parts checked. My POLIVOKS SYNTH produced in 1989. This synth is rare socialist moog like madness! It was made in period of 1984-1990 and sold in Russia (then USSR). This MEGA RARE RUSSIAN MONSTER, WAS MADE IN MILLITARY FACTORY AT KACHKANAR CITY! The sound is fantastic rich and warm – 100% pure analog machine! THE SET INCLUDES: POLIVOKS SYNTH, POWER CORD, TWO 5-DIN TO 1/4" JACK INSTRUMENT CABLE, ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF FULL SERVICE MANUAL (FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION, SCHEMATICS, TUNED PROCEDURE). The Polyvox (Polivoks in Cyrillic) is a duophonic analog synthesizer, with a 49-note (F-E) keyboard. It features two VCOs, a noise generator, one LFO, a filter (low-pass and bandpass), and two ADSR envelope generators. VCO1 can be cross-modulated by VCO2. Each ADSR can be switched to auto-trigger, each with independent rates.The sound is quite rich and somewhat harsh and aggressive. This is more of a space-synth. You can be sure that you will have never heard the sounds this one can produce. It sounds like these old Yamaha CS-30's, but then fat filters like in Moogs. It is built like a rock, pure military technology, contacts will last forewer. The body is solid and the knobs feel nice. It runs on 220V AC. It has inimitable peculiar sound and very powerful aggressive filters outperforming the famous Minimoog! A fat, lush and very analogue sound is achieved through instability and thanks to unique architecture of the Soviet-era components; in addition, highly reliable military technologies were applied in the process of production. The synthesizer may be used for hard electronic music, or for soft ambient/old school projects and for modelling various effects as well. Best of all, each of the two envelopes can be auto-triged at different rates. With one controlling the VCA and one the VCF - this is one effect you've just got to hear!
