Introducing a new Kontakt library built on over 840 samples captured from a classic Russian Formanta Polivoks...
An unusual and quirky old synth with a character all of its own!
Whilst producing the original patches for this library I have been particularly taken by the filter on this 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.
It 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!
The demo was 100 made using example patches from the library and no extra FX....

As 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 & 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.
…oh and look out for the secret button!! :-]

Whoa, nice! I've sort of been keeping an eye out for interesting Socialist-era synths here. Haven't run across anything other than basic transistor organs yet.

I've had a ton of people write asking if Polivox will be included in a Hideaway Winter Sale..
Well the plan is indeed to have some seasonal offers but I generally don't include new releases as a rule as its not very fair on those who have just paid the full price.
BTW Thanks hugely to those who have taken the time to write to say nice things!!
