Key Features
The PolyKB III provides you with a completely unique synthesizer plug-in experience, featuring revolutionary morphing analog oscillators and unrivalled sonic accuracy. Simply put, the PolyKBIII is one of the most versatile and powerful analog-modelled polyphonic synthesizers ever produced, capturing the essence and sound of some of the most revered vintage synthesizers whilst adding a unique flavour to help you create the sounds in your head. Giving you instant access to hundreds of different analog oscillator waveforms, you can morph and shape them in any way imaginable.
Built stereo scenes and place each note individually within the 3D stereo field using the Spacey XY module with no additional effects or plug-ins needed and take it one step further by adding in chaotic accidentals to breathe new life to every note. Controlled by polyphony, this unique effect will transform your sound from simple mono to the widest stereo field imaginable, perfect for contemporary cinematic scores.
The ultimate tool for the live computer keyboardist, the PolyKBIII offers unrivalled flexibility and customisation. Where almost every tone is able to be modulated, you can assign any synthesis parameter to a MIDI CC for fine-tuning or automating your sound on the fly in immense detail. Take control over the Envelope shaping and adjust the attack and decay parameters of any signal for a tighter or more loose sound, adjust the panning within a 3D field with the Space XY module parameters or assign a MIDI control to each of the four oscillators and morph them on the fly for ever-changing and liquid sounds that will keep your listeners engaged and craving more.
The three featured oscillators put the PolyKBIII firmly within the realm of traditional analog synthesis, with a sound quality to match. The gorgeous vintage character can be reinforced through a custom number of unison voices as well as the drift dial to add a sporadic and random character to each voice, reminiscent of classic analog machines with parts tolerances for a unique timbre with every play.

Unique to the PolyKBIII, three oscillators are all completely morphable and can be controlled by all modulation sources. This means that your waveforms don't need to be fixed or static, express yourself better than ever before and morph your triangle wave into a saw, or pulse into a double saw, allowing you more flexibility than ever before even within the digital realm. Oscillators two and three can also behave like LFO's, well into the audio rate, to allow you to thicken up weaker and anaemic signals to a more full-bodied sound, perfect for lead melodies and top lines.
Additionally, a fourth noise oscillator is there to add texture and extra harmonic content to your signal, letting you soar above a full mix and cut through with ease.
Using proprietary XILS-lab 0df technology, the PolyKBIII features two beautiful, analog-modelled self-resonating filters with pre and post-drive modules for added grit and character and keyboard tracking, each with their own dedicated envelope for instant tone shaping. Each oscillator is able to feed either filter or both simultaneously, where filters can be cascaded into each to create complex and precise sounds.
With the Voice XY pad, it's like having a modulated synth engine per every note that is played, all housed in one extremely intuitive and legible graphic design. Each note that is played can be modulated individually, meaning they will all take on a character of their own, sharing no similarities to the notes played before or after. Represented as a red ball within the graphical interface, you can simply drag this around the interface to create uniquely modulated tones within your synth. The vertical and horizontal position within the interface represents two dedicated parameters, each with an amount knob that allows you to dial in the precise level of modulation you want per note. If there has ever been a synthesizer function made-to-measure for live performers, the Voice XY pad is surely it. Explore new ways to keep your audience engaged and bring new life to your tracks, why not play sequences back and keep your hands free for using the Voice XY pad and modulate the notes in your step sequence.
Once you have created your sound, it's never been easier to place within the stereo field to find a space to sit within your mix. Featuring a unique Space XY module, the PolyKBIII lets you please each note in a different place within a 3D field, creating everything from subtle movement between the octaves of a keyboard to dizzying sound-design sounds that would sit at the table of cinematic soundtracks.
Onboard the PolyKBIII is up to 128 steps, programmable in four banks to create huge and long-lasting sequences. Each bank in the step sequencer can control up to four synth parameters via the User-definable Matrix, such as filters, oscillators, LFO level and more.
Alongside this, an eight-step poly sequencer takes the idea of step sequencing to a completely new level, allowing you to record eight parts in real-time. Transpose sequences, play live with chord sequences and more on the fly with unrivalled levels of control over muting, editing, quantising and more.
Borrowing a similar ethos from revered modular synthesizers, PolyKBIII features a modulation matrix that allows you to change the sound of your patch by simply adjusting the connection between different modules. Coming stock with 35 hardwired modulations through various sources, you can drastically change the signal flow of your signal to generate a completely new sound with a simple switch. LFOs, envelopes and even oscillators are pre-patched in to create anything from ring modulation to filter modulation.
To perfect your sound and add the studio-ready polish to your tones, PolyKBIII features five premium-quality effects to insert in a wide array of applications. Delay, Chorus, Phaser, Reverb and EQ are all present to give you the flexibility to add a vintage flair and vibe to your sound. Equipped with a vintage chorus and phaser as well as analog delay and EQ emulations, you can add depth and dynamic to your sound and carve out any offending frequencies or sculpt your sound to fit your mix with the EQ. Simple yet powerful, the onboard effects ensure that you don't need to use any external processing or hardware to craft your sound.
