ELTA POLYVOX FILTER PF3 yellow

Elta Music Polyvox PF3 packs the classic filter design from the legendary Soviet synthesizer into handy desktop format and expands it usefully.

Every Soviet kolkhoz owned a Formanta Polivoks, also with artists like Thomas P. Heckmann or Hainbach the Soviet synth legend is highly regarded. The Polyvox PF3 filterbank uses the circuit design for a reinterpretation, consisting of two independent 12dB filters that can be controlled with a single cutoff knob, resulting in a 24dB filter when connected in series. In stereo operation, different filter modes per channel provide interesting effects, while the noise generator upstream of the filter can also be used as a separate noise source (white/pink). Volume controls are available for all component groups, with an additional Dry/Wet control for the filters and a pan control for the noise.
