Version 11 is in the works

No release date yet, but it's coming together.

I am working on Version 11. Not sure when it will be ready yet, but have made a really great shred guitar / keytar for Ableton with Polymax and have been adding to the sound selection with only the best, most effective sounds.

Thanks to all those that bought this project. I hope you get to make the music you love and gain some new knowledge for creative music making. Also thanks for the 5 star reviews so far (have only had 5 star reviews, which is epic), and if you didn't add a review on Gumroad please consider it, it really helps me out. Thanks.

Tips and Tricks for Analog Quadrifecta by Tenalock

A few things worth trying to get more out of the pack.

1. Add a velocity plugin from your DAW and set it to 127 to stop velocity-sensitive playing. I usually do this for all sounds unless I am doing something super expressive.
2. Build instrument racks with 2+ parts — some of these sounds combine so well and end up sounding like LA 4-part synthesis / workstation sounds.
3. Experiment with a touch of analog overdrive (plugin-wise) — it can work wonders.
4. Sometimes sounds have too much width that messes up clarity. In Ableton Live 12 you can reduce the width of the stereo field using the Utility plugin.

Happy music making.

Out now. So what is new in V10 of Analog Quadrifecta by Tenalock for Polymax?

One year's work, hundreds of hours programming the ultimate in-the-box synthesiser solution.

Almost 500 sounds created from the init patch — "I'm burnt out, lol." It started with five favourite synths as influences, then it grew. Now 37 categories: Bass, Lead, Keys, Piano, Pad, Strings, Perc, Poly, Fx, Bells, Pluck, Organ, Arp, Jun‑6, Jupie‑88, Mini‑D, Prophi‑5, OBt, Dex77, FM, JP8088, D5050, 70s‑Machine, Borg, 3oh3, Famous, 80s, Space, Eminent, Synthwave, Chillwave, Dance, Techno, Lofi, Phonk and Retrodance — all searchable through the Polymax preset library, or by simply typing a category into the search bar, e.g. "jun‑6".

Also included: full Polymax drum machine programs for Ableton Live 12, custom-programmed effects for Ableton Live 12, full example tracks for each genre, analog bass multisamples of a Sequential Prophet 5 and Moog Little Phatty for layering fat sub frequencies when plugins alone can't cut it, and multi-layer Polymax instrument racks for workstation-style sounds.
