Loot Audio has introduced a new Kontakt Player-powered boutique tape synthesizer instrument by Battersea Audio.
Polygrade is where vintage polyphonic synthesizer meets classic tape cassette.
Rather than using traditional digital oscillators, Polygrade uses waveforms recorded from hardware synthesizers. These are then recorded and degraded via tape cassette machines, before being housed within Polygrade. Presets use a variety of input samples, designed to further enhance the tape sound.
Every sound on Polygrade is run-through a range of analogue equipment. The final touch comes from vintage tape cassette – giving it an edge of rare unpredictability within software instruments.
Polygrade features
- Presets built from real tape-processed synths.
- Flexible control of filter, ADSR, envelope & FX.
- Additional foley/noise layer options.
- Tape Wow/Flutter control, from subtle to extreme.
Regularly priced £65 GBP, Polygrade is on sale for £49.99 GBP until May 19th, 2024.
