Polyend's description of the Polyend Synth multi-engine polyphonic synthesizer.
INTRODUCING SYNTH.
Multi-engine Polyphonic Synthesizer
The power of 3 synths, all running together seamlessly. You can juggle between different 8 available engines, adjust parameters on the fly, and layer effects with ease. The built-in sequencers, arpeggiators, and all-new smart grid system keep everything flowing smoothly, letting you focus on creativity without interruption.
THREE SYNTHS AT ONCE.
Simultaneously play three different engines. It is way more than multi-timbral. Play built-in sequencers or enter notes live. All engine parameters, effects, macros, and grid settings can be saved as an instantly recallable Scene.
SIMULTANEOUSLY PLAY THREE DIFFERENT SYNTHS AT ONCE.
Simultaneously operate 3 synthesizers, select from 8 distinct synth engines, incorporate 3 effects, and add 3 separate sequencers or arpeggiators.
EIGHT ENGINES.
Polyend Synth combines various synthesizing methods, such as Granular, Physical Modeling, FM, Wavetable, Virtual Analog, or Phase Distortion. It offers a wide variety of professionally crafted presets for every engine.
VAP.
A dual-oscillator virtual analog polysynth inspired by classics like the Prophet and OB-8. Perfect for lush pads or intricate sound design.
PHZ.
A modernized phrase distortion engine with dual oscillators, advanced modulation settings and new phase distortion algorithms. Recreate classic phase distortion tones or experimental modulated madness.
ACD.
A faithful recreation of iconic vintage synths like the SH-101 and TB-303, but with a modern twist. It also sounds excellent with polyphony.
FAT.
A 3-oscillator virtual analog synth engine with detune control for massive sounds, delivering deep basses, lush pads, and expressive leads, featuring vintage-style ladder filters.
PMD.
A physical-modeling synth with dynamic sound shaping controls for realistic instrument simulations or experimental expressions.
GRAIN.
A two-mode synth engine with a novel burst mode for time-synced or rhythmic grains and a cloud mode for big pads and interesting textures. Paraphonic mode can be used to create dynamic, textured chords with notes spread across the grain playback.
WAVS.
A wavetable synth that morphs between two wavetables with control over scanning and phase warping for intricate tonal shifts.
WTFM.
A unique 2-operator FM synth engine that uses wavetable-based oscillators driven by a 3x feedback system.
SEQUENCERS AND ARPEGGIATORS.
Independently assign a sequencer or arpeggiator to each synth and control swing, groove, octave range, gate length, and more. Transposable sequences automatically adapt to the chosen scale.
SMART GRID.
Synth is the first device to introduce Smart Grid, an advanced technology that allows for single-button chords and note followers and always be in tune. Stay focused and enjoy even the most hectic live performance.
POLYPHONIC AFTERTOUCH.
A function that responds to your finger’s pressure independently on each pad. Every synth has up to five values that can be controlled with pressure.
COMBO KNOBS.
Combo knobs are customizable macros that can control one, two, or all three synths simultaneously. Instantly add interest to your performance with an epic filter sweep or create an exciting buildup with the twist of a knob.
THREE BRAND NEW EFFECTS ENGINES.
MOD.
More than a basic modulation. It can go from a slow, smooth chorus through a phaser to wild feedback flanging or anything in between.
DEL.
A double delay engine with five delay models with delay lines that can be tempo-synced or controlled separately.
REV.
Many reverb sounds can be created using three different reverb modes. Natural to add a touch of realistic space, Plate for metallic reverberations, and Warp to add epic ambience from twisted rooms to spiral staircases.
SCENES.
Scenes combine synth engines, their parameters, patches, effects sends, macros, arps, sequences, and all other settings into a quickly accessible file. Arrange a live set with multiple Scenes, access them instantly, or share them with the Synth community.
FULL CONTROL.
Polyend Synth is a sound designer’s dream. The 3×3 knob matrix and dedicated parameter buttons provide all the controls needed to quickly create advanced patches without menu diving.
RESPONSIVE VISUAL INTERFACE.
Gain a deeper understanding of how parameters change. Every knob turn updates the interface with beautiful graphs, whether you change the LFO shape, filter, envelope, or oscillator.
EXPANDABLE AND CUSTOMIZABLE.
With SD and USB-accessible storage, sharing and customizing patches, effects, and Scenes is simple. Expand the engines by loading your Wavetables or Grain files.
