Admiral Quality Poly-Ana v1.3.4 CE
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:
•Maximum 12 note polyphony featuring unison, voice detune and a unique poly-unison mode.
•Three oscillators per voice.
•Two filters per voice: 12/24 dB/Oct, LPF/HPF, can be run in parallel or in series allowing for additional multi-mode capability.
•Filter Resonance Modulation.
•Stereo signal path throughout the voice. Poly-Ana produces dramatic stereo effects without using any tacked-on delay or chorus effects.
•All voice parameters always visible and accessible with a single click.
•GUI controls that work like the real-world items, like automatic knob detents and single-click toggles.
•Unique modulation routing scheme: All the power of modular without the tedious complications of using patch cables or a modulation matrix.
•Waveform "morphing" creates smooth transitions between oscillator waveforms beyond simple cross-fading.
•Waveform Mod automatically morphs oscillator waveforms.
•PWM for all oscillator waveforms.
•Noise Sync: Oscillators can sync to noise source as well as normal pitched tones.
•Two LFOs per voice with retriggering. Allows separate phase for each voice's LFOs.
•Full Host-Sync for LFOs with adjustable phase offset.
•Three ADSR envelopes per voice with adjustable curves.
•Two Modulation Mixers allow for complex combinations of modulation sources.
•Unique, oversampled voice engine.
•Quality control lets you reduce Poly-Ana's CPU power requirements while recording performances.
CHANGELOG v1.3.4
•Init Bank. The default bank file Poly-Ana and L’il Poly-Ana automatically load when
instantiated can now be changed. Place preferred bank file named “ init.pab ” in the Poly-Ana
settings folder. (Please note that this isn’t the same folder you have the plugin(s) installed in, it’s
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.)
•Fixed slight jump in knob position when first clicking on to a knob with detents when Knob
Mode set to Linear.
1.3.3 – 2018-05-15
•Fixed crash bug from 1.3.2 when Custom Skins that set Tooltip color were loaded.
