Polyvera Polyphonic Hybrid Synthesizer + Sampler

Imagine recreating the gritty aliasing of 80s digital synths like the Ensoniq Mirage or PPG Wave, but feeding them through a lush analog filter for that perfect hybrid punch—Polyvera nails this with stunning accuracy.

At its heart, two digital oscillators handle wavetables or samples: Oscillator 1 with sub-osc and vintage styles, Oscillator 2 flexible for sampling or wavetables, plus FM, sync, ring mod, and noise. A multimode analog VCF with saturation, overdrive, and filter FM shapes everything, backed by per-voice analog VCAs, three ADSR envelopes (filter, amp, assignable loopable), and three syncable LFOs. Hands-on controls include a 64-step polyphonic sequencer with parameter automation, arpeggiator, mod matrix with direct knobs, and dual stereo effects like chorus, delay, phaser, reverb, overdrive, or distortion. Housed in a sleek anodized aluminum desktop case, it offers 6-voice polyphony (binaural mode halves it), stereo I/O, MIDI USB/DIN, MPE, velocity, 512 presets, and micro-SD for user .wav content from a factory library.

Early hands-on demos at events like Bristronica highlight its cinematic grit and deep sound design, earning praise for blending retro digital edge with modern analog warmth—players love the immediate tweakability and experimental potential.
