Is this the same old polyvoks that was on that free4vst site, or whatever it was? Or is this a seperate new Polivox? It seems to be new since they are charging for it, but I'm not too sure if that old free vst was updated and then made into a paid version.

 

Description:
Ivoks Electromusical Synthesizer
The Red Rock Sound Ivoks Electromusical Synthesizer designed in the style of the Soviet synthesizer 1980's.

On the centre panel are located two audio-frequency oscillators:
OSC1 offers frequency Band regulator, five Waveforms and controls for LFO Modulation level plus OSC2 Cross-modulation;
OSC2 offers the same frequency Band and Waveforms, an independent control for Modulation depth, plus Detuning.
Underneath these located the mixer, which offers level controls for the two Oscillators, the Noise generator, and Saturation Drive.

To the right of these, located the filter block. The top half is a standard ADSR envelope — until you flip the switch «Envelope mode», when it becomes a repeating AD-envelope instead. The four controls at the bottom adjust Cut-off, Resonance, LPF to BPF switch, Modulation level and Envelope level.

Next after the filter is the amplifier block, it also has ADSR envelope along with another Modulation level and Velocity sensitivity control. Again, the envelope can be switched to a Repeating Mode that generates a triangular waveform determined by the Attack and Decay settings, providing some of the instrument’s most distinctive effects.

The leftmost panels house the Modulation (LFO) controls (top), Mode which offers four waveforms, including noise, and a stepped Function for sample & hold (S&H) effects, well as Speed control.

And global settings such as the master Tune, master Volume, Legato mode, Monophonic and Polyphonic operation and Unison switches, and the Glide control.

 

No, it's not the same plugin.

Here is the archive of the page which was on VST4Free:
https://web.archive.org/web/20210123022654/https://vst4free.com/plugin/242/
The page is a bit long to draw but you will see also the GUI on it.

Not either the same developer.

But both are indeed emulations of the same hardware synth.

While we're at it, it good to know that VST4Free still exists. Because the new website named Plugins4Free is simply the new name of the former VST4Free. You can easily check this by simply comparing the two pages (many clues show that it is actually the same site, even the number of the plugin in the URL is the same, for example 242 in the case of Polyvoks):
https://plugins4free.com/plugin/242/


Red Rock Sound Ivoks Electromusical Synthesizer is a brand new emulation. Same original hardware synth, but different emulation, from a different developer.

And also... Syncersoft is still alive, and they still distribute their free Polyvoks It is near the bottom of this page with other freeware plugins from them:

Another clue:
Synsersoft is Shleenkin Alexander, with his website located in Germany:
http://syncersoft.com/about.htm
while Red Rock Sound is a company located at Krasnoyarsk, Russia:

Thank you! I just wasn't sure since they look very similar, they are supposed to after all. They are emulating the same piece of kit. But thanks again for explaining away my confusion.
