In this video, I explore Suonobuono’s POLYVERA and the different ways it adds character to oscillators and samples. I go through its sample processing, cross-modulation, filters, drive, effects and sequencing, followed by the pros, cons and preset sounds.

Cool Holographic scopes?
► The scopes I use aren't real – I use MOscilloscope and MAnalyzer by a company called Melda – they’re free with some limitations in the MFreeFXBundle.
