Soniccouture has introduced Polarity | Modular, a dual-layer granular synth engine, created in collaboration with synthesist, composer and DiN label head Ian Boddy.
Polarity | Modular features 250 custom waveforms crafted by Ian Boddy, utilizing his extensive collection of modular gear. These include a Roland System 100M, Serge Modular, Buchla Sound Easel and many more. It features a library of 250 presets, NKS2 compatibility and the ability to load your own samples.
Here’s Boddy the systems and sound design behind Polarity | Modular:
And here’s a preview of a selection of the 250 presets included with Polarity | Modular. The patches were created by Boddy, Nigel Mullaney, James Thompson & Dan Powell:
What you hear in the video is the direct output of a single preset, with no additional effects or processing.
Pricing and Availability:
Polarity | Modular is available now, with an intro price of $109 USD (normally $149).
Nice idea. Really not a big fan of that awful UI
Just name the parameters what they are and show and indicate the depth/amount
No need to mess with stuff like that
I like the funky interface for the macro-controls that the Polarity Tension and the Polarity modular. I get a kick out of it. Different strokes and floating boats…. You can change what the macro controls interact with.
I just don’t really see the point in taking the parameters usually associated with granular and obfuscating them behind weird symbols. Doesn’t help anybody. Especially anyone trying to learn a bit about it
