    A synthe size for live, all the parameters from the effects are accessible from the front.

    A section of CSOs such as "Virtual Analog", full of waveforms ranging from very high-pitched at super acid, which can be converted into "noise" Great music with the sync feature.
    Two other sections are CSOs that PCM. In fact they make most often smooth and thick at the VA waveform, there's the Moog, ground synthetic violin, and choir, a sawtooth ...

    Filters are a kill even if I had a hard time understanding the concept at the beginning (filters in series or parallel), filters sharp as the 309 in much better. In addition it is possible to add a disto these filters is well Cracra without hurting zoreilles. Definitely a very strong point of this synth.

    Two envelope filters and an amp envelope for the three waveforms, these envelopes are a bit "soft" rules but they can be quite surprising. There is no envelope assigns the pitch waveforms but this function is greatly simplified in the OSC section.

    The LFOs are very funny even if not very fast, we can very easily get such type of sonoritees chiptune with the FM section.

    I do not really use effects, I have a DEDICATED rack that. Apart from the distortion that I put all the sauces. Both the distortion of the filter is for "cradifier" sound, as the distortion generally be used to magnify the sound (like the 309).

    The sequencer is very complete in its way, we get results very quickly with this control system with knobs. You can play with three different parameters on the same line, and it is possible to choose any parameter ... delirium.
    You can set the length of the notes, the length of the line pattern, scroll the notes forward, backward, random ...

    UTILIZATION

    This is a synth that can be forward or back in a mix, it can do a lot of things actually.

    it can also be used to filter a sound outside, very interesting ...

    Demos (very good for my taste) are at the Kraftwerk, but it does not just ca.

    SOUNDS

    Ah, the sounds ...

    It's not thick and warm like a virus, it's not as cold as my digital Monomachine ... is ... the VA has Quasimidi. For example waveforms VA have a little grain on the 309, but a thousand times better. There are so many parameters to traffic that can do many things, and the filters are so surprising that the results do not always correspond to what I expected ...

    I do not like the envelopes too, a little too soft for my taste.

    The sounds of this synth can be very varied, it can act as low water table, the chiptune, acid line ... while having his personality ... difficult to define ... But one thing he is not in the "fat" and "smooth"

    OVERALL OPINION

    Took me a while to love my Poly, but because of a sequencer difficult to tame than its sounds. I was amazed during my first contact with him, the demos are great. I had trouble after a blackmail him, but only because of its sequencer, y'avait a click a busted for sure ... I think it takes time to get a machine as unusual.

    Beware the machine is buggy, I have the latest version of the OS 2.01f
    I use it as a slave, and is a sync all my other machines without problem. Its internal sequencer will do its job when asked to play its own sounds, by the sequencer will play against too many notes expendeur an external sound. It seems that can be treated very easily, personal ca does not bother me. It is the only bug that I grew identified thus far.

    One last thing, the machine is a finished product even if the designer has decided not to address this problem of sequencer Bugge ... he could settle before attacking it's showtime ...
