Overview

The kind of control you've dreamed about!

This 1RU 4-voice synth is fully programmable from the front panel. Each voice has 2 analog and 2 digital oscillators. The analog oscillators offer multiple waveshapes with voltage-controlled analog pulse-width modulation, hard syncing, real voltage-controlled lowpass filters, and VCAs on each channel. The digital oscillators select from 96 Prophet-VS and 32 user-loadable (via MIDI) wavetables and have FM and ring modulators. As with original VS, the digital oscillators get trashy as the frequency gets higher.

Other tools and features include a separate glide per oscillator, dual digital 4-pole highpass filters that can be placed before or after the analog electronics, stereo audio inputs, a noise generator, envelope follower and peak detect from the external input for use as a modulation source, 3 snappy ADSRs, and 4 LFOs that re sequencer- and MIDI-syncable.

Additional features include dual tunable feedback loops, delay with 3 taps, digital distortion, 3 banks of 128 programs for 384 total, a 16 x 4 analog-style sequencer that syncs with MIDI, extensive modulation options, and an easy-to-program matrix-style front panel, with 8 rotary encoders.

The Poly includes a free standalone editor that will run on both a PC and a Mac enabling you to edit both programs and combos quickly and easily.

Features

  • 4-voice analog synthesizer in a 1U 19" rack
  • Fully programmable from the front panel

  • Analog oscillator waveshape are sawtooth, triangle, saw-triangle, and pulse (with voltage-controlled analog pulse-width modulation)
  • Digital oscillators select from 96 wavetables from the Prophet-VS (128 x 12 bits) and 32 user-loadable (via MIDI) Wavetables (128 x 16 bits)
  • Digital oscillators get trashy as the frequency gets higher, as with the original VS
  • Hard sync on the analog oscillators
  • FM and ring mod on the digital oscillators
  • Separate glide per oscillator, with 2 glide modes
  • Real voltage-controlled analog lowpass filters - not digital re-creations
  • 4-pole/2-pole switchable, fully resonant (in 4-pole mode)

  • Dual (left and right channel) tunable feedback loops; modulate frequency and amount
  • Delay with 3 taps, each with separate time and amount modulation
  • Syncs to sequencer/MIDI
  • Normal feedback and additional feedback path through analog filters
  • Digital distortion can be placed before or after analog electronics
  • 3 banks of 128 programs for 384 total programs - dump to/from MIDI
