PolyKB Features

polyKB_II_700pb

The PolyKB II is a polyphonic substractive synthesizer based on two waveform morphing, aliasing free oscillators and a self oscilating 4 poles low pass filter.

The oscillators take a large part of the sound of this synthesizer but the filter recreating a standard analogue chip of the 80's with the help of a very complete modulation section allows the PolyKB II to create incredible and warm sounds, from gorgeous bass to slow evoluting pad, through agressive lead and thin cristal keyboards, without forgetting a wide range of special effects capabilities.

oscillateurs

The modulation section of the PolyKB II acts like a matrix with five dedicated sources (LFO, ADSR, VCO, NOISE, VELOCITY) and five dedicated destinations (VCO 1 and 2 pitch, VCO 1 and 2 waveform, VCF frequency).

modulations

To increase the sound design possibilities, six menus have being added, two for the sources, four for the destination, with which a wide range of modules can be choosen: Velocity, sequencer ouputs, LFO freq, Filter res, VCO levels, to name but a few.

The PolyKB II brings also a very powerful polyphonic sequencer.

The sequencer can record and play 8 voices independently as well as the pitch than the velocity. To control the sequence, a 2 to 128 steps clock system allows a wide range of rythms and patterns.

And...of course the sequencer outputs can be assigned as a source of modulation, opening up endless sound possibilities.
