Critic Reviews

Polivoks Pro

soundonsound.com

The Polivoks Pro successfully channels the spirit of its predecessor while introducing modern features like MIDI and additional modulation options. It retains the original's gritty character, making it suitable for aggressive synth sounds and basses. However, it suffers from tuning inconsistencies and lacks accessible calibration options, raising potential reliability concerns. The compact design is an advantage, but intermittent faults in the review unit could be troubling for users. Priced reasonably for a hand-built synth, it’s enticing for enthusiasts but may not satisfy those seeking absolute precision. Overall, it’s a mixed bag: a nostalgic nod with room for improvement.
