Description

Unlimited polyphony, as PolyM’s model, was considered when released! Even if it was not true, compared to monophonic synthesizers of these times or to the five or eight voices machines, the 71 voices, each one with its own pulse width modulation, filter, VCA, and envelope generator, was clearly a revolution.

Recreating this legendary synthesizer as a virtual analog was a real challenge! We decided to take up the gauntlet!

Two Top Octave Divider (T.O.D) oscillators, slightly detuned for an incredible phasing effect and a very special envelope generator are the Heart and the Soul of the PolyM.

The secret of this monster is its hybrid design from an organ-like synthesizer and three filter banks, including a 24db ladder filter, driven by a monophonic envelope.

The Sound ! Using divide-down technology offers a particular sound for Chords and Pads you can’t find any other way, but that’s not all. With that sound, feeding a monophonic zero-delay 24db self-oscillating filter, driven by the keyboard gives you the possibility to play huge Basses or leads as no other synthesizer can do.
