Deceptively simple on the outside, this synth can really send you to 'analogue' heaven! The polyphonic Unison feature coupled with the gorgeous Ensemble- effect can create some super lush string/ pad sounds! And some lovely bass too... This won't be your first option for some far out SFX or wild modulations due to it's single oscillator, envelope and limited LFO (sine wave only...) But what it does best- silky strings, lush pads and fat analogue bass- it does with such warmth! One of my favorite soft-synths for sure.

I have a "hardware" Polysix (got it in 1984) and recently bought the VST version. I love both but noticed something that works differently (other than the extra polyphony features and other updates).
On my "real" Polysix the EG Mode switch can be put in organ/gate mode so you have a simple envelope for the VCA while the VCF can be doing something like an attack sweep.
However, on the VST the organ/gate mode seems to affect both the VCA and VCF, the VCF is not acting independently.
Anyone else notice this and is there a setting I'm missing that makes this feature act the same as on the hardware Polysix?
Thanks.
I would like to clarify one thing about Polysix review from Hierophlex. This synth uses triangle wave, not sine wave as modulation source.
