Elta Music POLIVOX DUAL FILTER PF3

Q: Can I use the POLIVOX PF3 as a true stereo filter unit for my master track or subgroups?
A: Yes, absolutely. The PF3 features physical dual-channel audio inputs and outputs. By engaging the top-panel "LINK" switches, the filter cutoff frequencies and incoming Control Voltage (CV) modulations are completely locked together. This allows you to smoothly sweep a full stereo signal using a single central cutoff knob while adjusting volume and dry/wet blend balances for left and right channels independently.

Q: What is the main structural difference between the "Hard" and "Soft" switch settings?
A: This switch alters the fundamental behavior of the analogue filtering circuit. In Hard mode, the unit functions with the classic, raw, and unyielding distortion characteristic of the military-grade Soviet Polivoks synthesizer. Flipping to Soft mode strips the circuit of its aggressive edge, shifting the slope profile slightly to replicate the warm, highly melodic character of the vintage Russian Maestro synthesizer.

Q: How does the built-in noise generator work inside the audio path?
A: The PF3 features an onboard analog noise generator with selectable white and pink noise textures. It sits completely pre-filter, meaning you can use the level controls to feed raw noise into the processing path alongside an instrument or on its own. When the filter resonance goes into self-oscillation, this noise can be used to dynamically synthesize hats, claps, snares, wind drops, or industrial textures from scratch.

Q: Is the PF3 compatible with Eurorack modular signals and control voltages?
A: Yes, the PF3 is highly patchable. It features 3.5mm mini-jack CV modulation inputs for both Filter 1 and Filter 2. The CV inputs handle a wide standard tolerance layout, accepting control signals ranging from -5V to +5V or unipolar shapes from 0V to +10V, allowing external LFOs, envelopes, or sequencers to modulate the cutoff points automatically.
