In production between 1982 and 1990 the Polivoks was manufactured at the Formanta Radio Factory in Kachkanar, Russian SFSR. With a retail price upon release of 920 rubles around 100,000 Polivoks were manufactured – peaking at a production rate of up to 1,000 units a month! Despite this, the Polivoks is not all that commonly seen an instrument outside of Russia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAlthough intending to appear and sound similar to the Minimoog it has been said that Vladimir never had access to the instrument or indeed any technical information. On examining the schematics, I’d have to agree and go so far as to say the Polivoks is a very different beast indeed on a technical footing. Some have said the instrument was a poor man’s Minimoog but I truly think this is disingenuous to say the least as it sports some interesting unique features such as looping envelopes, a particularly efficiently implemented duophonic note assigner, and a quite remarkable and unique filter design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eIn fact, whilst producing the original patches for this library I have been particularly taken by the filter on this unique instrument which is like nothing I’ve ever heard before. Sporting both Low Pass and Band Pass modes it can be quite an untamed beast at times but with care also capable of producing some really quite beautiful timbres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eIt may be full of bizarre old Russian transistors the size of small flying saucers, plastic that feels like it was made from recycled Christmas cracker toys and easily winning the most horrific key-action ever made contest.. I truly adore this wonderful old analog chameleon of an instrument!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Polivoks 02 FX\" height=\"374\" src=\"https:\/\/hideawaystudio.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/12\/polivoks-02-fx.jpg?w=499\u0026amp;h=374\" width=\"499\" data-attachment-id=\"2702\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/hideawaystudio.net\/2017\/12\/04\/hideaway-studio-proudly-presents-polivox\/polivoks-02-fx\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/hideawaystudio.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/12\/polivoks-02-fx.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,600\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{\" aperture data-image-title=\"Polivoks 02 FX\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/hideawaystudio.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/12\/polivoks-02-fx.jpg?w=300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/hideawaystudio.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/12\/polivoks-02-fx.jpg?w=800\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAs always with all of my Kontakt Libraries the raw sample material has been captured faithfully and directly from the instrument (including in this case a few samples taken via a gorgeous 1968 Bruel \u0026amp; Kjaer type 2107 all- tube swept band pass lab filter). The Solo Synth Engine retains the sonic character of the instrument and yet help to present it in a new light permitting a wide range of tonal colours, textures and landscapes to be explored. With this in mind I have included many example patches in the library which I think will help to show the full potential of the Polivox library.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e…oh and look out for the secret button!!  :-]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSystem Requirements\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThis library requires the full version of Kontakt 4.2.4 or higher.\u003cbr\u003eApproximately 685MB of free hard disk space is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eDownload Contents\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e845 24-bit Samples\u003cbr\u003e64 Example Instruments\u003cbr\u003e66 Example Layered-Multis\u003cbr\u003eUser Manual\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/h1\u003e\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eRegistration Information\u003c\/h1\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSerial Number\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hideaway Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53052709306652,"sku":"1405-1056","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1983\/4140\/files\/hs-polivoks-front-panel1.jpg?v=1758873180","url":"https:\/\/jrrshop-3235.myshopify.com\/products\/polivox","provider":"jrrshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
