Does anybody know what kind of wood it uses?

Also does it have poly aftertouch? I know I'll never use it but I need to know I can if I want to.

I think you may be disappointed to discover it is polyphonic, not paraphonic.

I even expressed interest in this synth long ago, said I hope it's really polyphonic, so no.
I'm not the only one who noticed that all the sounds demonstrated in the videos clearly have all sounds passing through a single filter. My guess is that Yves took just a glimpse at the insides and didn't notice there's only one filter. Cue trolling about how "I know better", etc.

hoho, guy who listens to youtube video values own opinion over several people who actually have, or have access, to the unit.

New image up on Sweetwater, hopefully the final nail in the polyphony discussion coffin!

Nah, Shy clearly knows better. He heard it once on a youtube video, and that trumps everything.

Don't know why you are contradicting one of KVRs most reliable sources as far as analog (and sometimes digital) synths concern. It is known that Shy can spot analog magic or lack thereof in highly compressed youtube vids, so why shouldn't he be able to hear the whole bloody arcithecture of minilogue from the example given here? It is like Eskimos and snow, so who can really argue against without displaying their own ignorance?

Beyond that I myself do not know why a four tone polyphonic synth shouldn't be able to run all voices through a single filter. Are people hear saying that classic analog synths (e.g. Jupiter 8 ) also have one filter pr. Voice or what? If so, is this a necessity or a choice?

You can stop trolling, IncarnateX, the image is already up, showing it's paraphonic.

oh, FFS.

The image shows it as polyphonic, Shy. In the diagram, the VCF is inside the voice unit fer chrissake, before the VCA, which is also shown as inside the voice unit.

The only thing outside the voice unit, of which there are four, is the delay, and the external input.
