Polymax (Universal Audio) - Analog Quadrifecta (Presets Inspired by the Jupiter 8, Minimoog, Prophet 5 & Juno 106
This plugin has all the ingredients to attempt to replicate the vintage classic analogs together with a very low price, a stable plugin, a low latency and very easy, very quick preset management. Also the effects are really good and it has the most amazing stereo spread options, instant, no messing around furtherinto the mix for stereo field.
Most importantly, the right filters, snappy enough envelopes and the most awesome wave morphing. Truely impressed with this plugin.
So I sat down and got to work modelling from my the real analog versions of the synths, using my 20 years experience of sound design to select the kind of sounds (only the really special ones for each synth) I want ready to go for working easily in the box. Sometime I replace them with the real thing if I think a track is good enough, sometimes I don't need to.
I have captured the flavour of each classic analog synthesizer with the sounds I want ready to go at any time working in my daw with latency not seeming to become a problem on an M2 Mac. This plugin is not a CPU hog like so many others that can grind creative flow to a halt or add extra processes to your workflow that cant be quickly and easily undone.
Why "Quadrifecta"? Well I think sounds inspired by these 4 analog classic synthesizers, the Roland Jupiter 8, The Moog Minimoog, the Sequential Prophet 5 and the Roland Juno 106 are the true classics in my own opinion, exacly the sounds I want quick easy access to.
130 Patches -Preset List - Every one crafted from the Init patch.
(Grouped in their classic analog synthesizer families)
In line with companies like Arturia, Cherry Audio etc I have chosen non Tradmark terms to identify what synths each group of sounds they influenced by.
Set 1 is called "Jupie-88" - influenced by the Roland Jupiter 8

Free TAL - Chorus plugin- You should add this to the Jun-6 Patches and it will really tranform some of them. TAL did such an amazing job on this and afetr years it still stands up as a great digital emulation of the OG. Shout to to TAL as an amazing company.

Split and Multis
Don't forget that most DAWS will let you make these no problme in an instrument rack.
I have been experiementing and the possibilites are endless. eg Prophet based low brass growl with a Jupiter inspired pads with shimmer reverb, it sounds so good it is rediculous.
I have a patch for panning one to the left and one to teh right and it is rediulous sounding in teh stereo field.

So get learning synthesizis from these Universal Audio Polymax patches, get experimenting and get creating.
I am really hoping this pack of polymax presets is sucessful so I can put in more time to create more . I took a big risk putting in so much time with a lesser know and used plugin, but I think this plugin is truely underated by a massive margin and hope to see its adoption increase significantly.
