BRIEF OVERVIEW

“Blend View”

1. Click on the big knob and move it to blend between A&B vs. C&D layers, enabling you to create an epic movement in your sound.
2. Here you can select your view. On the left side, you can choose what to see on the top side of the interface. You can choose between blend and the 4 sound layers (A-D) On the right side, you can browse between 3 views: First is the Mixer, where you can control basic parameters of each layer on the same page (volume, device fx dry/wet, sub osc. settings). The second is the Echoluxe, where you can dive deep into all the parameters of this FX. And finally, the master view, where you can apply master effects and get inspiration by using the Smart Random Controls.

“Device View”

1. Each of the four layers comes with individual controls for volume.
2. Sound Source Selection: Choose from 25 distinct sound sources to form the foundation of your sound.
3. You can switch between poly and mono modes here.
4. Each of the four layers comes with individual controls for panning.
5. ADSR Envelope: Shape the dynamics of your sound with Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release controls for both the amplitude and filter envelope, offering nuanced expression. Click on the filter button to see the filter ADSR instead of the amp. ADSR. 
6. You can set here the octave and finetune.
7. Wow Control: Introduce subtle to extreme modulation effects, mimicking the characteristics of analog tape.
8. Tone: Emphasize the low or the high end of the channel with ease, ensuring a perfect fit in your mix.
9. Filter Section: Sculpt your sound with high-pass, low-pass, band pass and notch filters, adjustable resonance and cutoff frequency, to refine or dramatically transform each layer. With the help of the built-in LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator), you can apply modulation to filter with customizable shape, depth (amnt) and frequency, introducing movement and vibrancy – that you can also sync to the host tempo.
10. Link: If this is active, the adjustments made on the parameters of this device will affect the other 3 devices (layers) too.

FX section:
11. Module FX: add depth and stereo wideness to each of your layers with Dimension, add gentle saturation or wild overdrive with the advanced Drive FX – with a resonant high pass/low pass control to deepen the sound design options, or add a nice phaser effect with customizable rate and depth.
12. Echoluxe: The settings of these apply to all layers in contrary to the Module FX section, but you can adjust the dry/wet balance for each module separately here. See more at the “device fx section”

“Mixer View”

1. Here you can choose between 2 waveforms of the sub oscillator (triangle and rectangle) and shifts its octave.
2. Refine the sub layer by adding drive and motion to this virtual analogue oscillator.
3. You can control the gain and device fx dry/wet of each of the 4 layers. You can also solo or mute any of them from here.

“Echoluxe View”

1. Basic delay parameters are controlled here: Time, stereo wideness and feedback.
2. Advanced delay parameters are fine-tuned here: Low and high pass filter cutoff and resonance. You can also generate endless resonant feedback with these. You might link the low and high-pass filter cutoffs, so their distance is constant.
3. Adjust the character of the reverb here. You can choose between two distinct algorithms.
4. Finetune your reverb sound with diffusion and damping, add modulation with depth and speed controls and fine-tune the reverb size and feedback from here.

“Master View”

1. Master FX: The final stage of your signal path includes a high-pass/low-pass filter for removing unwanted frequencies, a tone EQ for overall shaping and a glue compressor for cohesion, ensuring a polished output.
2. Smart Random Controls: Instantly generate new sound variations by randomizing sound sources, ADSR parameters, and effect settings, or all of the above at once – providing a source of endless inspiration.

Big thanks from all of us for adding Polyscape Analogue to your collection. We’re excited for the unique sounds and musical journeys it’ll bring you! – Your friends at Karanyi Sounds
