Admiral Quality Poly-Ana v1.3.4 CE-V.R
Team V.R | 25 December 2018 | 19 MB
Poly-Ana is finally here! Get ready for a new experience in virtual analog synthesis! Poly-Ana uses a different approach than most other VA soft-synths which we feel delivers a sound more authentic to the early analog synths that inspired her features. This "brute-force" method admittedly requires more processing power than other common techniques, but is a far truer model of the functioning of real analog instruments. If you obsess over the quality of your sound like we do then you won't mind using a bit more CPU power to help get you closer to that real analog sound; a sound that so many other VA synths fall too-far short of. (Note that Poly-Ana also offers a Quality option to reduce CPU usage during performance-time at the expense of sound quality.)
Poly-Ana's voice architecture is 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, and we held nothing back in designing our "ultimate analog dream synth". 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.
Features:
â˘Maximum 12 note polyphony featuring unison, voice detune and a unique poly-unison mode.
â˘Three oscillators per voice.
â˘Two filters per voice: 12/24 dB/Oct, LPF/HPF, can be run in parallel or in series allowing for additional multi-mode capability.
â˘Filter Resonance Modulation.
â˘Stereo signal path throughout the voice. Poly-Ana produces dramatic stereo effects without using any tacked-on delay or chorus effects.
â˘All voice parameters always visible and accessible with a single click.
â˘GUI controls that work like the real-world items, like automatic knob detents and single-click toggles.
â˘Unique modulation routing scheme: All the power of modular without the tedious complications of using patch cables or a modulation matrix.
â˘Waveform "morphing" creates smooth transitions between oscillator waveforms beyond simple cross-fading.
â˘Waveform Mod automatically morphs oscillator waveforms.
â˘PWM for all oscillator waveforms.
â˘Noise Sync: Oscillators can sync to noise source as well as normal pitched tones.
â˘Two LFOs per voice with retriggering. Allows separate phase for each voice's LFOs.
â˘Full Host-Sync for LFOs with adjustable phase offset.
â˘Three ADSR envelopes per voice with adjustable curves.
â˘Two Modulation Mixers allow for complex combinations of modulation sources.
â˘Unique, oversampled voice engine.
â˘Quality control lets you reduce Poly-Ana's CPU power requirements while recording performances.
CHANGELOG v1.3.4
â˘Init Bank. The default bank file Poly-Ana and Lâil Poly-Ana automatically load when
instantiated can now be changed. Place preferred bank file named â init.pab â in the Poly-Ana
settings folder. (Please note that this isnât the same folder you have the plugin(s) installed in, itâs
the folder your license key-file and skin folder, if used, go in. See the Custom Skin instructions
or your license-key email to create/locate this folder on your system.)
â˘Fixed slight jump in knob position when first clicking on to a knob with detents when Knob
Mode set to Linear.
1.3.3 â 2018-05-15
â˘Fixed crash bug from 1.3.2 when Custom Skins that set Tooltip color were loaded.
