I just jumped into this synth. I’m with it!! Also I wish I would’ve noticed that these UAD plugins were available in stand alone. I remember you said you weren’t a fan of the subscriptions. You had a killer price on opal! Wow
I just bought this some days ago for 74 euro with some discount, before testing and comparing it with my prophet6. I love Polymax because it sound rich and fat and very fast to manipolate.
I got this packaged with my Apollo, and I really agree with ya on the limited options being more inspiring. I like that everything is clearly labeled, color coded, and does something sensible. It just works. Also, the horn sounds are fat as hell. I like Diva, and mostly use that, but I am moving more and more towards this just because I spend more time just fiddlin' here.
Hey man I am 99 percent sure that I'm about to make that same purchase from Sweetwater, in the cart, things are getting serious. Wondering how you like it.
@@evanredmon3877 It's good! If you play an instrument, I really recommend it as an upgrade from a normal audio interface. Their amp simulation plug-ins from ENGL, Marshall, Fender and others are world class. Damn, I sound like a sales rep. It does occasionally get...fussy though. Sometimes it gets pops and clicks and I need to restart, but I find it worth the increased space saved on VSTs. Seriously, dry recording into ableton with their ENGL preset in drop D on guitar is dummy fun since there's hardly any latency and the cab sims are really good. The unison channel of it can do some other really neat things, but I play guitar and kinda...got lost on that part and am still there haha.
I love the tone of the PolyMax. I remember my cousin owned a Prophet T8. I played on it for hours, pressing keys and turning knobs back in the late 70's early 80's. Owning this plugin now, I can come up with Killer Synth tracks..
Nice! I've been looking for a simple, straight forward synth and bamb! Here it is. I just bought the signature bundle from AU during the holiday' sale late November 2023. I hadn't bought anything really in a few years but the UA native has met geeked. Their Rhodes and Moog KILL! Love this tut-THANKS! :) PS. Was looking for patch pac for sale on this PolyMax but don't see one-fingers crossed?
Thanks for the love! I used Sonic Projects OP-X pro II. No ring mod. You should check out my review on that one for sure. ruclips.net/video/utnFbBM-8Pk/видео.html
dang good review, but too expensive, $200. I think it's part of UAD's marketing trick to make you wait for a sale and feel better about paying 50% the price, i'd say this is worth 50-75 bucks when comparing it to other modern synths, the fact that there are less features is cool in this case but should not be as expensive as a fully featured synth like massive x or stuff like that
🙏🏾🙏🏾 Right now you can get it for 50 bucks. I would say take advantage now before the sale ends. I definitely only paid 50 lol. Even if it was 99 I think its still worth it because the quality is that good.

Yes. They changed the business model. Now you can buy individually or just use with the subscription.

I totally agree! I love how simple and fast it is to get an awesome sound going.

Exactly. And Diva is definitely one of my favs but I do prefer the simple interface.

any thoughts about UA Rhodes vs Keyscape?
How did you make the intro's metalic arpeggio sound ? I rly love it ! is it some ring mod ?

Is it wrong me to want to consign every trap beat to the bowels of hell? Wait Polyphia do a bit of trap 😎

@@ProdByThatGuyFace Got it, plugin is installed, crazy to go in the presets and see how much variety there is given the limited sets of parameters
49 dollars right now for this and a whole bunch of their basic plugins
Amazing deal! I'm so glad they started working with plugin boutique.
