From Manufacturer
Create remarkable sounds and sequences with the Polyend Synth, a 3-part multitimbral multi-engine synthesizer that operates with up to 3 synth engines simultaneously. Each of the eight engines utilize a wide variety of synthesis techniques to deliver a wide spectrum of tones and textures.
The Synth structure and workflow revolves around scenes, which are a collection of all the elements including presets, macros, settings, effects, and parameters that create the sound and pattern. These are stored as self contained functions in a library, from which you can assemble bigger and more complete productions. The built-in sequencers, arpeggiators, and all new smart grid system keep everything flowing smoothly, letting you focus on creativity without interruption. Whether you’re in the studio or performing live, you can juggle between different engines, adjust parameters on the fly, and layer effects with ease.
Synth Engine Models
ACD
ACD transports you back to the golden age of electronic music with its recreation of iconic single-oscillator monophonic analog synths. Paying homage to Japanese legends, ACD not only captures the essence of these classics but also propels you into the future with a lightning-fast synthesis experience. It offers a rich palette of options, ranging from faithful monophonic analog recreations to entirely unique and innovative soundscapes.
VAP
VAP is a virtual analog polysynth, boasting a dual-oscillator architecture and a versatile modulation matrix. Complete with multiple filter flavors and pulse width modulation, VAP allows you to sculpt intricate patterns. This engine shines when it comes to creating mesmerizing, evolving textures, crafting lush pads, and conjuring up one-of-a-kind sound effects.
PHZ
With PHZ classic phase distortion tones or experimental new sounds are possible. PHZ consists of 2 oscillators with varying shapes and unlike classic phase distortion synths, filters, and a Polyend-style mod-matrix have been included. The phase of an input waveform is distorted by functions/methods. Each of these functions can be gradually modulated by parameters X and Y, ranging 0 to 1.
WAVS
Wavs is a unique wavetable synthesizer engine, which plays and morphs between two wavetable oscillator samples while applying filtering. Wavetables are stored in plain WAV files in the Samples > Wavetables folder. Control of Position controls the scanning while it interpolates between the WAVs. Warp affects the oscillator phase, stretching or warping from the center to the edge of the sample point. This operates in a positive or negative dimension.
FAT
FAT is a powerhouse synth engine that epitomizes the lush, vintage warmth of classic analog synthesizers. At its core, FAT hosts three virtual analog oscillators and offers an intuitive drift and detune control, ensuring you can effortlessly sculpt iconic massive sounds. The presets contain two distinct flavors of ladder filters inspired by two unique analog classics. It offers a versatile range of sounds, from deep reese basses to ethereal pads, expressive leads and classic keyboards.
WTFM
WTFM is a unique 2-operator FM synth engine that utilizes wavetable based oscillators driven by a 3x feedback system. The operators are based on sweeping wavetables, ranging from fundamental sinewaves to harmonically rich timbres, offering a diverse tonal palette. Whether you're sculpting smooth, enveloping pads or crafting cutting-edge metallic tones, WTFM empowers you to achieve unique textures with precision and authenticity.
PMD
Classic Physical modeling synthesis with unique controls and modulation options. Timbre controls the sound in a way specific to each generator. Mallet and Airflow are specific parameters for each generator. The Exciter envelope should not be treated as an equivalent of amp envelope in a traditional synth—its behavior has different effect on each generator (does not affect Strike at all). The Resonator further shapes the mixed sound of the generators.
Grain
Grain is a granular synth engine, which takes a standard WAV sample file and generates a series of audio fragments called grains. The generation of the grains such as size, density, and shape can be controlled, along with how the grains are scanned and played back (for example scanning position and direction). The cloud and burst features allow you to control how grains are generated—continuously or in cyclic batches of grains. Grain pitch can be played in paraphonic mode as chords.
Customizable Effects
MOD
This versatile modulation engine can take you from subtle choruses to wild, feedback-heavy flanging.
DEL
Dual delay lines with five unique models, giving you the flexibility to sync with your track or create complex delay effects.
REV
Three reverb modes—Natural, Plate, and Warp—let you add anything from subtle space, to massive otherworldly reverbs.
