Polyend Synth Multi-Engine Polyphonic Synthesizer

Full Description

New synth engine - Dual Wavetable Architecture (DWA)

The new Polyend Synth arrives with a powerful and innovative synth engine called DWA, or Dual Wavetable Architecture. This engine is built for experimental sound design, giving musicians deep control over sample-based synthesis. At its core, each patch is driven by two separate samples, which can be looped, layered, or cross-mixed for rich and evolving textures.

These samples are highly malleable, allowing for the creation of everything from single-cycle waveforms and glitched-out loops to Karplus-Strong plucks and granular-style fragments. With features like feedback loops and pinpoint playback control, users can manipulate basic samples into truly dynamic and intricate sounds. DWA isn’t just about layering; it’s about transformation.

Layer three synth engines at once

The Polyend Synth lets you stack three synth engines, providing a unique way to create layered and rich soundscapes on the fly. This design allows you to experiment with textures and tones, blending characteristics of multiple engines in real-time. With easy parameter access, you can smoothly transition from one layer to another or tweak multiple layers at once, making this synth perfect for live performance.

The synth’s instant scene recall function lets you capture entire setups, so you can save complex patches and access them instantly, keeping the creative flow uninterrupted. For performers, this level of control and flexibility means seamless switching between sounds, keeping live sets smooth and responsive.

Dive into eight powerful synth engines

Explore an impressive range of sounds with the Polyend Synth’s eight distinct engines, each bringing a unique sonic palette. From the analog warmth of FAT to the detailed textures of GRAIN, these engines cover the full spectrum of sonic needs. PHZ adds a modern twist on phase distortion, while VAP offers a dual-oscillator polysynth with lush, full-bodied tones. With WTFM, FM synthesis is redefined through a wavetable-based oscillator, delivering complex sounds without the traditional FM challenges.

With such a wide array of sound engines, you can craft sounds that suit any genre or style, from smooth melodic lines to deep, experimental textures.

Enhanced sound control with custom effects

Shape your sounds further with three onboard effects: modulation, delay, and reverb, all fully customisable to match your desired tone. The MOD effect delivers everything from subtle chorus to heavy, feedback-driven flange effects. DEL offers five unique delay modes, each with dual delay lines that can sync to tempo or create layered effects.

REV brings depth and atmosphere, with three reverb styles – Natural, Plate, and Warp – adding anything from subtle ambience to immersive soundscapes. This level of control makes it easy to add the finishing touches to your sounds, perfect for building intricate, evolving textures or making a powerful statement in any performance.

Intuitive interface with real-time visual feedback

Designed for quick and effortless control, the Polyend Synth features a 3x3 knob matrix for direct access to essential parameters. This layout provides hands-on adjustment without the need for complex menu navigation. Each adjustment is reflected in the visual interface, giving you instant feedback on every sound tweak. This real-time visualisation lets you see how filters, oscillators, and LFOs evolve, creating a more intuitive and engaging experience. For sound designers, this level of immediate response enables precise adjustments, making it easier to sculpt sounds with detailed control and experimentation.
