ELTA music Polivoks Mini Manual

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.
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.

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
ENVELOPE
ATTACK - note attack time
DECAY - note decay time
SUSTAIN - note sustain level
Release - note release time
ADSR MODE -
Normal mode
Autogeneration
