Re: Is it a real polysynth?

2013-08-22 by 7yash

A single filter => it's a paraphonic synth.

A normal polyphonic synth would have a filter for each voice, e.g. the JX-8P, which can sound massive, percussive, has fantastic strings,

e.g. 2. the DW-8000 which has 8 of the same filter in the Poly-800.
