semi-modular analogue synth
INTRODUCTION
The idea of the Polivoks Mini analog synthesizer came into
mind in 1990, as the junior version of its older brother well known
Polivoks full synth. The aim was to develop a way simpler and
lighter device that has less components, offers the same broad
capabilities, and removes possible flaws of the Polivoks full synth.
As the result of this research a new minimalistic schematic
appeared. It has fewer controls that are compensated by greater
functionality.
The overall design of the Polivoks Mini is made in
collaboration with Ms. Olympiada Kuzmina, Polivoks full synth
concept designer.
Vladimir Kuzmin.
FILTER
CUTOFF
- Filter cutoff frequency
*you can control/automate filter cutoff
via MIDI using MIDI CC#1 (mod
wheel)
RESONANCE
- Filter resonance
BP/LP
- Filter mode switch
BP - band pass
LP - low pass
ENVELOPE
- bipolar depth of
envelope modulation to filter cutoff
LFO
- depth of LFO modulation to the
filter cutoff
LFO
WAVE
- LFO waveform. Triangle wave in the
center, and tilt waveform left or right. When you
use square wave output from LFO on the
"OUTPUTS" panel, this knob adjust PWM of the
LFO.
RATE
- LFO speed
OSCILLATOR
RANGE
(OCTAVE) - VCO octave switch
SUB GENERATOR
- SUB VCO
octave/waveform switch.
-1 octave square
-2 octaves square
-2 octaves pulse
WAVE
- VCO waveform
-triangle
-SAW
-Square
DEPTH
- pulse width of square wave VCO or
pulse width modulation via LFO, depending on
the PW/PWM switch.
PW/PWM - Pulse width modulation mode.
Manual «PW» or by LFO «PWM»
AMPLIFIER
ADSR/GATE
- VCA ADSR
modulatoin
or gate
.
GATE ON
- manual gate on (only in
gate mode
ENVELOPE
ATTACK
- note attack time
DECAY
- note decay time
SUSTAIN
- note sustain level
Release
- note release time
ADSR MODE
-
Normal mode
Autogeneration
MIXER
OSCILLATOR
- oscillator level
SUB OSC
- sub generaor level
NOISE
- noise generator level
AUDIO IN
- external audio input level
OUT
VOLUME
- audio out level
HEADPHONES
- headphone level
GLOBAL SETTINGS
GLIDE
- glide time
TUNE
- instrument tuning
MODULATION
- depth of LFO
modulation to VCO pitch.
INPUTS
V/OCT
- Volt per octave CV input.
GATE
- +5V Gate input.
PWM
- Pulse width modulation CV input (+/- 5V).
PITCH + AMOUNT
- pitch CV modulation input (+/- 5V)
+ amount knob.
VCA CV
