Admiral Quality Poly-Ana Beta Update
-
Admiral Quality has updated the Mac beta version of Poly-Ana to v0.01 and released the first VST beta version of L'il Poly-Ana for Mac OS X.
Changes in Poly-Ana OS X Beta v0.01:
- Fixed the problem loading in Cubase and Nuendo versions 4 and 5.
- Added Poly-AnaFX, the effect version of Poly-Ana that can not only process external audio, but also use incoming audio as a modulation source on your synth sounds, allowing you to create envelope followers and other effects that are impossible with regular instrument-only soft synths.
- Silent gaps in demo mode are shorter and less frequent.

Admiral Quality Poly-Ana
-
Admiral Quality has released a beta version of Poly-Ana for Mac OS X. Initially available as a VST instrument, an AU version will follow.
Poly-Ana's voice architecture is described as "an ambitious combination of all the best features of the famous analog classics, plus a few new features (totaling 208 controls, plus a full 5 octave velocity sensitive virtual keyboard) which, while possible back in the day, would have been prohibitively expensive to implement in hardware."
But as a software-only product, Poly-Ana doesn't face these limitations.
"Combine this with a classic styled design that puts every parameter a single click away, with large, easy to grab knobs and switches that behave like the real-world items; and with no hidden drill-down menus so that each and every control is prominently displayed out where you can see it; Poly-Ana offers a true alternative in software synthesis," Admiral Quality said.

Admiral Quality L'il Poly-Ana
-
Admiral Quality has announced the release of L'il Poly-Ana and a version 1.14 update for Poly-Ana.
L'il Poly-AnaL'il Poly-Ana is the preset-player version of Admiral Quality's flagship Poly-Ana analog model synthesizer plug-in. L'il has all of regular Poly-Ana's sound features and capabilities, only your ability to design new patches has been restricted. But, every performance related control has been left in. The entire simulation control section as well, including Quality (CPU), Saturator and the Analog Drift feature. Plus the cutoff and resonance controls for both filters - the most popular controls for live voice tweaking.
L'il Poly-Ana comes as VST instrument for Windows only, without the effect version of the plug-in as included in the full version of Poly-Ana.
AQ designed L'il Poly-Ana for those who aren't interested in creating their own sound patches (programs) or who wouldn't know what to do with all those voice controls anyway. And even for existing Poly-Ana owners, sometimes you'll just want to recall a favorite patch and would like to save some screen real-estate. L'il Poly is perfect for these situations. To your host software, L'il Poly appears, and functions, just like the regular version of Poly-Ana. All of Poly-Ana's advanced features are still in there, like automatic MIDI guitar controller support and easy MIDI-learn.
Existing Poly-Ana license keys will unlock L'il Poly-Ana as well, so Poly-Ana owners get L'il for free. License keys that work only for L'il Poly-Ana can be purchased for the special introductory price of $39.95 until January 1st, 2009 (the normal price will then be $69.95). If you purchase L'il Poly-Ana and then later decide you'd like to upgrade to the full version you can do so for the difference in price paid, plus a $10 fee.
Changes in Poly-Ana v1.14:
- Evaluation period reset so you can enjoy a free, week-long, fully-functional evaluation period, even if you've tried it before in the past.
- New demo mode, activates after free evaluation week expires, product still works but with occasional gaps in the output and native patch saving is disabled.
- Added new version L'il Poly-Ana, a preset player with all performance related controls left on, as well as filter cutoff and resonance controls.
- Poly-Ana owners already own L'il Poly-Ana. But L'il Poly-Ana can be purchased alone for a discounted price.
- Custom background images are supported in L'il Poly-Ana. Place a 409 x 224 PNG file named LilPoly-AnaBG.png in same folder with LilPoly-Ana.dll.
- Small bug fixes and some very slight performance improvements.
