though the SemBlance comes in a 4 voice version.Poly Evolver unfortunately only has four voices.

Looks like he was looking for polys.

And OK...this one's another mono, but you have to admit it's pretty. I'm even tempted myself even though it's a 303 clone. It'd look good on the studio desk.

@kritikon: I'm not sure I see the point in attempting to post pictures of every analog synth currently in production. The original poster is specifically looking for an analog polysynth, not a modular, TB-303 clone, or guitar effect with a built-in oscillator.
Incomplete list of my gear: 1/8" audio input jack.

I use my PolyEvolver as the midi keyboard for a 66U Dot Com.kritikon wrote:

Nice. I use a Roland MPU-101 MIDI to CV converter to make my 70+ module, 12 osc Dotcom modular polyphonic...taijiguy wrote:I use my PolyEvolver as the midi keyboard for a 66U Dot Com.kritikon wrote:

By the way, the Metasonix is not polyphonic. As a side note, I hand-printed every single front-panel myself.

Sounds like a great idea. But the MPU-101 doesn't seem to be available any longer.Scot Solida wrote:Nice. I use a Roland MPU-101 MIDI to CV converter to make my 70+ module, 12 osc Dotcom modular polyphonic...taijiguy wrote:I use my PolyEvolver as the midi keyboard for a 66U Dot Com.kritikon wrote:

12 oscillators, huh? I have 6 Dot Com and one Cyndustries for a little variety. An STG wavefolder should be arriving in the near future.Dot Com modules with custom front panels?

The MPU-101 hasn't been around for decades...but they pop up every so often on E-Bay. Well worth getting. The only drawback is that they use minijacks rather than the Dotcom's 1/4", but that's easily dealt with. I only have Dotcom oscs...though I have the Blacet Miniwave and love it dearly. I have looked into getting a few of the Zero Oscs, but I haven't got the room in my cabinets. Maybe it's time to start a new row...taijiguy wrote:Sounds like a great idea.

I have done custom front panels for all of my Blacet modules. I like 'em to match the Dotcom format. I still have to do a proper one for my Miniwave, but my screenprinting stuff is all packed away (I'm moving house).

A possible 4-voice replacement for the MPU-101 might be the PolyDAC

That looks very good, and would indeed do the same thing. Using a modular polyphonically like this produces a sound not unlike the old OB 4-voice. It simply isn't possible to set each and every parameter of every module to precisely the same values, so you get this monster of a poly sound, full of texture and life. More so if you have some variations in the modules. I don't have four identical filter modules, so each note in a chord is slightly different. It's a great effect.whyterabbyt wrote:A possible 4-voice replacement for the MPU-101 might be the PolyDAC

especially when your stuff is mostly 1/8" like mine...i have a MPU 101, one of the best purchases i made..no menus, rock solid, flexible enough...Scot Solida wrote: The MPU-101 hasn't been around for decades...but they pop up every so often on E-Bay.
