The synth news everyone’s buzzing about: Polyend’s game-changing synthesizer redefines musical possibilities.
While some manufacturers chase complexity, Polyend boldly simplifies synthesis with their aptly named ‘Synth’. Just like their recent adventures in glitch territory, this release proves that innovation doesn’t require overwhelming features. Instead, it’s about meaningful musical interactions.
During my time at CCRMA, I’ve witnessed countless synth launches, but few have sparked such immediate curiosity. The grid-based interface reminds me of my first modular experiments – those magical moments when complexity transformed into intuitive musicality. This feels like that same breakthrough moment.
Eight Synth Engines Revolutionize Sound Design
The Polyend Synth is breaking new ground with eight distinct synthesis engines, letting you run three simultaneously. Each engine brings something special to the table – from the PHZ engine’s unique phase distortion to the acid-dripping ACD engine inspired by the iconic Roland SH-101.
What’s really turning heads is the Smart Grid feature, making real-time playability a breeze. Three independent sequencers respond to your playing style, while clever chord modes keep everything musically coherent. The scale lock feature ensures you’ll never hit a wrong note.
Priced at $/€499, this powerhouse offers features previously found only in much pricier synths. The VAP engine channels the Prophet-6’s spirit, while GRAIN and WTFM engines push into experimental territory. It’s like having a entire synthesis studio in one sleek box.
