I used to think that the single filter was a big down side to the Poly. But over the years I slowly switched to blaming the DCO's. There is only so much you can do with a filter if the underlying signal is bland.

In the case of the DCO's, the lack of an independent second oscillator removes character. And the lack of more comprehensive harmonics that you get with a larger selection of waveforms also removes character.

I'm all for this idea. I really like playing with my hawk-modded EX, but the basic sound of the DCOs makes me queasy. I always thought that maybe I just wasn't a big fan of the filter... so it's nice to hear that maybe it really is just the DCOs....
