Native Instruments has released an update to the Maschine software, bringing a new synthesizer instrument to the Maschine+ and Maschine music production systems.
Based on the Pro 53, Poly Synth is a vintage 16-voice synthesizer that is styled on an ’80s classic.
The latest MASCHINE update is out now, and it’s a big one! Introducing Poly Synth for MASCHINE+ and MASCHINE, a 16-voice, classic 80s analog synth built for creating sounds from scratch with MASCHINE hardware. Its cult dual-oscillator design does everything from warm bass to sizzling pads – perfect for the sound of hazy summer nights. We’ve also added new arpeggiator modes and swatted a few bugs.
