01Overview

HY-POLY is built around a subtractive polyphonic synth engine with a set of MIDI and audio effect units placed in the signal chain. Many of its synth and effect parameters can be modulated by dragging and dropping modulation assignments, which keeps the routing visual and quick to change. The developer describes it as suited to a wide range of sounds across most genres. Its dual multi-mode filters, five oscillator types and 24 modulation sources give producers a flexible base for both simple patches and more complex, evolving textures.

Oscillators, Filters and Sound Design

HY-POLY offers five oscillator types: 2Osc + Sub, 3Osc, Mod Osc, PD Osc and Vector Osc. Combined with dual multi-mode filters, these give you a broad palette, from layered basses to bright leads and pads.

The modulation system is central to the workflow. Drag and drop assignment lets you route any of the 24 modulation sources to synth and audio effect parameters directly, so you can shape movement without digging through menus.

MIDI and Audio Effects in the Signal Chain

The plugin includes 9 MIDI effect units, among them Arpeggiator, Octave, Transpose, Harmonizer, Scaler, Velocity, Note Chance and Note Echo. These process incoming notes before they reach the synth, useful for rhythmic patterns and harmonic ideas.

For the audio side, 25 audio effect units are available. Together with Midi learn for quick controller mapping, a preset browser and a resizable interface, the plugin covers both sound creation and day-to-day session use.
