IN DEVELOPMENT, NO MORE DETAILS AVAILABLE YET. 

POLYVOX 8, an eight-voice reimagining of Vladimir Kuzmin’s incredible original. It’s only in prototype stage, and there’s precious little information revealed. However, there’s enough here to get us all hot and bothered about the possibilities.

Other than the fact that it will have eight voices (a polyphonic Polivoks, my God), the announcement also revealed that it will feature MPE. There will also be presets, suggesting a robust operating system behind the voices. 

“An 8-voice polyphonic synthesizer with presets, MPE, and many other features,” the announcement reads.

Looking at the panel rendering, we can see that the POLYVOX 8 will feature two oscillators (called Generators), each with three waveforms, an LFO (the Modulator) with three waveform shapes, a mixer with noise, ring mod, and a sub oscillator, a filter with what looks like two modes, and loopable envelopes.

Other intriguing lettering (in English, thankfully!) includes Poly8, Para2, and Mono voice modes, three unison modes, Layer4/4, Layer2/6, and Layer6/2, suggesting bitimbrality, stereo spread, and what could be a sequencer.
