Essential Information About the "Portable Poly Analog 3" Synthesizer
- Authentic Analog Sound thanks to the VCO/VCF/VCA signal path, inspired by the legendary Jupiter synths of the 1980s.
- 3-Voice Polyphony with poly, unison, and arpeggiator modes for rich and immediate textures.
- Ultra-Mobile Format featuring 27 velocity-sensitive keys and USB-C power supply for playing anywhere.
- Built-in Creativity via a 16-step motion sequencer, PWM, and a resonant multi-mode 2 or 4-pole filter.
A Modern Tribute to the Jupiter Icons, Designed for the Nomad
Evoking the enveloping character of the historic Jupiter synths, this analog synthesizer condenses the DNA of classic 80's instruments into a portable chassis. It combines a pure analog architecture with modern programmability, ideal for complementing a compact studio setup or a minimalist stage rig without sacrificing vintage warmth.
Who It's For and Musical Styles
Accessible and inspiring, it suits beginners as well as seasoned producers seeking immediate retro sounds. Perfect for synthwave, electro, house, ambient, pop, or sound design for visuals, it shines in the studio, live, and DAWless setups thanks to its built-in arpeggiator and sequencer.
Features and Innovations
Based on subtractive synthesis, it offers a versatile VCO with sawtooth, triangle, square, and pulse waveforms, enriched by pulse width modulation to thicken timbres. The switchable multi-mode filter (2 or 4 poles) with strong resonance sculpts everything from silky pads to acidic basses. A dedicated ADSR envelope precisely controls amplitude, while an LFO with sawtooth, triangle, square, and random shapes animates vibrato, tremolo, and wah-type effects. The 16-step motion sequencer records potentiometer movements and stores up to 8 sequences, enabling organic evolutions without a computer. Connectivity-wise, In/Out sync ensures tempo locking with other drum machines and synths, and full MIDI (NRPN/CC, bulk load and save) opens the door to fine automation and integration into any setup. USB Type-C power lets you create anywhere-via smartphone, external battery, or computer.
