V3 Polyphonic Touch Synthesizer

DesktopDigitalPolyphonic

Imagine playing an eight-stringed instrument where the slightest finger wobble detunes oscillators into fragile, melancholic shimmers—that's the magic of this touch synth from the start.

Its 64 pads form eight vertical monophonic columns, letting you tap polyphonically across eight voices, each packing up to four oscillators (pulse, supersaw, wavetable, or sampler grains), white noise, dual ADSR envelopes, and a resonant 2-pole low-pass gate with distortion. Pressure and movement control pitch, filter, and more, enhanced by velocity, aftertouch, MPE, and a mod matrix with four CV inputs (A/B/X/Y, each with LFOs and offset knobs for A/B). Global effects include delay, reverb, high-pass filter, limiter, and saturation, plus arpeggiator, sequencer, 256 presets, and sampler with tape/pitch modes and granular tweaks—all navigated via OLED screen, endless encoder, and eight shift keys. At 24HP, it fits Eurorack with modular I/O for clock, gate, pitch, audio, and modulation; USB-C power, internal battery option, TRS MIDI in/out, stereo 3.5mm outs, and headphone jack make it endlessly versatile standalone or integrated.

Players love its intuitive expressiveness for ambient and experimental sounds, though some note the learning curve for deep editing pays off with addictive results.
