Cherry Audio’s next synth is (probably) a Polivoks on steroids – Page 4 – Instruments Forum

I think this is Cherry Audio’s best synth so far because it addresses a lot of the issues I have with their synths.

I find a lot of their synths kind of lacking in character, UIs that are too cluttered and sometimes a tendency to get too far from what the original synth sounds like.

It’s like they really understood the brief this time.

On the real Polivox everything is wildly inconsistent and there are anomalies everywhere. The starve knob for example does a great job of adding in those weird discrepancies due to out of range or unstable components that were present in the circuits of the original.

My own polivoks makes really weird noises when you adjust the filter cutoff. I can more or less replicate that with the Starve knob. An addition that isn’t on the original but one that can get you closer to the original’s eccentricities.

UI is great and being able to hide the keyboard really helps with screen real estate.
