Minipoly Pro: Hybrid Analogue Tape Synth for Kontakt

Minipoly Pro is a Kontakt instrument from Loot Audio that works as a hybrid analogue and tape synth. It combines recorded analogue oscillator samples with tape-based sawtooth waves, filters, LFOs and effects. It requires the full version of Kontakt.

01Overview

Minipoly Pro is built around raw analogue and tape oscillator samples rather than purely synthesized waveforms. The developer, Loot Audio, describes it as a hybrid design that pairs filters and LFOs with a step modulator, a chord system and an arpeggiator. The Pro version adds a formant filter, extended Kontakt 6 effects and NKS automation, so it suits producers who want a sample-based synth that sits inside the Kontakt workflow.

03In depth

Sound Character of the Tape and Analogue Oscillators

The tape sawtooth waves are long sawtooth recordings made for each key on a Roland RE-301 Chorus Echo. Loot Audio says these recordings carry wow, flutter and tape dropouts, which gives them a character similar to a Mellotron.

The saw, square and noise oscillators are recorded directly from a Minimoog. According to the developer, these sound crisper than the taped waveforms, so you can mix the two families depending on whether you want warmth and motion or a cleaner edge.

Modulation, Arpeggiation and Effects

Beyond the oscillators, the instrument includes filters, LFOs and a Step Modulator for rhythmic movement. A chord system and an arpeggiator help with harmonic and melodic patterns, and eight effects shape the final tone.

The Pro version adds a formant filter and extended Kontakt 6 effects, along with NKS automation for controlling parameters from supported hosts.
