Refurbished Serviced Soviet Formanta Polivoks and Midi Installed comes with new cables and voltage converter.
The Formanta Polivoks is a legendary Soviet analog synthesizer manufactured between 1982 and 1990 at the Formanta Radio Factory in the Russian SFSR. It is widely considered the most iconic synthesizer from the USSR, known for its aggressive, unstable sound and "tank-like" military aesthetic.
Key Specifications & Features
- Architecture: A duophonic analog synthesizer with two oscillators (VCOs).
- The Filter (VCF): Its most famous component—a switchable low-pass/band-pass filter that uses a unique design without capacitors, resulting in a "screaming" or "unbridled" resonance.
- Design: Engineered by Vladimir Kuzmin, with an industrial look inspired by Soviet military radios (large knobs and Cyrillic labeling).
- Performance: Features a 49-note keyboard and can be used for monophonic or duophonic play.
- Inputs/Outputs: Uses 5-pin DIN connectorsrather than standard 1/4" jacks, often requiring adapters or modifications for modern setups.
