But not due to the sound of PA as such 
It's my understanding that at least the oscillators of P-A were implemented in a nonstandard way, which gave a better sound (in many cases) at the cost of CPU usage and sometimes noticeable aliasing in the higher registers. There may be something similar about the filter implementation.chk071 wrote:Judge for yourself... you have TAL-Noisemaker (the SVF filter is zero delay feedback), and TAL-MOD, which also has zdf filters.

Whether or not Poly-Ana has zdf filters, i don't know. My guess would be no, because, it's already pretty old, and, i doubt the dev has "adapted" to new technology.
Its for a soundtrack. The final showdown at the end ...fluffy_little_something wrote:Sounds a bit darkthecontrolcentre wrote:I used Poly-Ana for everything except drums on this track ...fluffy_little_something wrote:What do you mean by analog bass? Like on which song?

Just out of curiosity, since you are on Bandcamp, how many people actually buy such a track or album? 10's, 100's, 1000's?thecontrolcentre wrote:Its for a soundtrack.

That particular track ... nobody's bought it. I've sold more "albums" than individual tracks. Not very many tho' ...fluffy_little_something wrote:Just out of curiosity, since you are on Bandcamp, how many people actually buy such a track or album? 10's, 100's, 1000's?thecontrolcentre wrote:Its for a soundtrack.

My "Flatland" skin for Poly-Ana (the original with the grey and blue colors) was done back in 2015 and is available here at KVR in the download section for Poly-Ana:nichttuntun wrote:Thats cool.

Thank you. I didn't find the two colours. I had used the download link at KVR at first and just copied the skin folder at the right place and the skin was blue. Maybe your link is another version?

The skin is almost 3 years old and actually Poly-Ana was my first and only synth trying to do my own skin for so i am not at all a professional in doing skins...nichttuntun wrote:Thank you.

Maybe you could consider to make the OSCS sync buttons more clear. I searched them for a good while
I also think this skin isn't representing the synth general sound BUT I do not care too much because it is a great help for programming (it´s bigger than the original) what is the main aspect for me.
Well, I don't really care about age, either. After all I use older plugins myself, mostly Sylenth1, which is like 10 years old and probably doesn't have 0df filters, eithernichttuntun wrote:Beside all that new and old and zero and not zero latency discussion...
...even Urs U-HE synths are old. He created some of the Synth when cowboys still rode on dinosaurs and they are around for ages, like POYLY-ANA. Maybe thats the reason why DIVA has gotten "her" name
Yes some U-HE Filters sound great. POLY-ANAs filter sounds great too. In the end, I absolutely don´t care what technical knick-knack is pottering under the hood of a hard- or software-synth. I even like Anti-Aliasing in synth-sound (remember the glorious WALDORF wavetable monsters). In the end all that matters for me is what a synth can do and how it sounds AND feels. DIVA and REPRO 1/5 sound fantastic and POLY-ANA sounds fantastic. Would I have to choose it would be POLY-ANA because it simply feels more like a real analog machine for me and not so clean. Thats a good thing for U-HE and for ADMIRAL QUALITY because they complement each other. For sure I don´t need another synth with the same sounding quality I already own.
I still got a ROLAND JUNO 106, a DOEPFER, a KORG POLISIX, a KORG MS-20, a WALDORF PULSE1 (beside all my 80th digital hardware synth), a friend of mine has some MOOGs which I could play and I have touched several more real analog units in my life (first synth I got in the early 90th) and I got a decent audio-monitoring environment and think I can judge some things quite well.
Simply said: POLY-ANA nails it totally for me when it comes to the "feel" a real analog synth is giving you while fiddling with its knobs and sliders. Don´t get me wrong. Urs Synth...I love them!...but they offer another feel when playing around with them and concerning the "real" analog approach...POLY-ANA is a clear leader for me. Again I have to state the sensational bottom end...unreached by every VST-Synth I ever heard...and I heard many.
BUT...please consider that I am not a friend of comparisons which have the goal to state XY is "better" than XY because I think there are no unusable Synth. And I don´t think concepts of "better" and "worse" are so good. "Good" and "bad" are just 2 sides of the same coin for me. Just concepts, not a thing to realy build a scale out of it and state it as universal truth. A general assessment is useless due to the fact that it will propably be based on emotional reactions based on your preferences based on sympathy and antipathy (and that is a complicated genesis).
So finally I can state you can do great things with every sound making machine and of course every object (musique concrete) that you can record a sound from including the environment. The technical background is really the last thing I do care for when it comes to sound-design.
Joyful modulating
Well, the date of the latest update doesn't really tell much about the underlying tech, does it? The synth could be from 1980, with some added bug fixes in 2017. Poly-Ana 1.0 has initially been released in 2007. I don't know what has or has not been added with the updates in the meantime.SMH wrote:Last new update 2017-07-03 http://www.admiralquality.com/poly-ana- ... s/#changes so pretty new i think.chk071 wrote:Judge for yourself... you have TAL-Noisemaker (the SVF filter is zero delay feedback), and TAL-MOD, which also has zdf filters.
