Detailed analog modelling for rich, evolving sounds
The Multi/Poly features next-generation analog modelling, offering incredibly detailed filters, oscillators, and envelopes that closely mimic the behaviour of vintage analog components. Each voice contains a Virtual Voice Card, allowing subtle variations between them, which creates a more natural and evolving timbre. This adds a layer of complexity that makes the Multi/Poly stand out for long pad sounds or intricate sequences, as envelopes evolve continuously, mimicking true analog behaviour. Even pitch drift is modelled to give your sounds a distinctive, organic feel. If you're after rich, evolving analog tones, this is where the Multi/Poly excels.
Four oscillators per program for thick, multi-layered tones
The Multi/Poly offers incredible tonal complexity with four oscillators per program. You can choose from classic analog waveforms, digital wavetables, and waveshaper oscillators, offering a vast range of sonic possibilities. Classic oscillators provide vintage warmth, while digital options allow you to dive into modern wavetable synthesis, even importing your own wavetables for complete customisation.
The waveshaper oscillators, inspired by West-Coast synthesis, add rich harmonics through dynamic waveshaping techniques. Combined with a noise generator and enhanced sync and cross-modulation features, the Multi/Poly allows you to create thick, layered tones ideal for everything from fat basslines to expansive pads.
Motion Sequencing 2.0 for advanced modulation
With Motion Sequencing 2.0, the Multi/Poly allows you to create intricate, evolving patterns by separating timing, pitch, and shape sequences into independent lanes. Each lane can have its own loop points, probabilities, and randomisation, giving you full control over how your sounds evolve over time. This advanced modulation system is perfect for creating organic, ever-changing sequences that feel alive. Additionally, the Kaoss Physics feature lets you manipulate sounds in real time by interacting with a virtual ball on the X/Y pad, adding a layer of performance-based sound design. Combined with the multi-layering options, the modulation possibilities are virtually limitless.
Dual filters and advanced tonal shaping
The Multi/Poly’s dual filter system offers a wide range of tonal shaping options. You can use classic filters like the MS-20 LP/HP and Mono/Poly 4-pole self-resonating filter, or opt for more modern and smooth options like the SE M/P 2-pole filter. For deep sound design, each oscillator, noise generator, and ring modulator can be routed through either filter or both, in series or parallel, allowing for complex tonal blending. Modulate the filter balance for dynamic, evolving sounds, or use the Drive circuit to add everything from gentle warmth to heavy distortion. Audio-rate modulation and a variety of filter types ensure that no matter your sonic goal, the Multi/Poly can achieve it.
