US Vintage-inspired synth recreates 70s and 80s analog polyphonic synthesizers 08/11/22

Universal Audio Inc. (UA) has introduced PolyMAX, which they describe as a vintage-inspired synth that gives producers, sound designers, and musicians fat tones from the golden age of analog polyphonic synths.

Bill Putnam, Jr., CEO of Universal Audio, told us, "The iconic sound of analog synthesizers from the 70s and 80s left their stamp on countless records and film scores of the era and are revered to this day for their lush harmonics and ability to sit easily into any mix. Created with our deep analog-modeling expertise, PolyMAX is inspired by these timeless sounds and fits seamlessly into any DAW-based workflow."
