PolyMAX Synth

Great sound, beware fatal flaws:

The synth sounds great and is highly intuitive. I wish it had a HPF but otherwise it's great. Two major flaws, particularly for live use:

1. You have to license this via a physical iLok or have an internet connection. Ridiculous! It will not work otherwise, rendering it too risky if not completely useless for live applications. Please please UA, allow it to be licensed to the physical computer like just about every other plugin I use with iLok manager.

2. MIDI CCs are hard-coded into the plugin, so if you build a sound you're proud of, don't wiggle any knobs on any gear you have plugged in, because it can easily be ruined. Again, the risk here for live is insane. I had to use a Max4Live plugin to block all CCs to avoid ruining my sounds on the gig. Now I have to go rebuild them in a different VST having learned this...

So sadly it's just not all that useful unless you're super careful to print your sounds or turn off monitoring on the track.

It sounds Great

Its presets goes well with the sound that I choose for my music compositions

Lovely Synth!

Great sound!

Great sound!

It is phatt!

I have got many hardware synths but Polymax soft is just phatt and sounds very clear. Easy to operate guy :)

shock

Bought the signature bundle and actually didn't really feel like i wanted this plugin, after buying the bundle and using it it was a shocker! Probably the most interesting sounding modulation effects i have on any VST synth.

I would like to love this plugin but ...

I would like to love this plugin but the authentication system is a joke. I have tried most of the troubleshooting solutions about the UA Connect problem with the iLok USB dongle but I still have the error message "plug-in not licensed" even though it is activated in my iLok USB dongle 3. The PolyMAX Synth cannot be used since several months.

Authentication Keep Failings

This would be a much better plugin if I could actually use it. I've tried multiple trouble shooting techniques and the plugins always say "Plug-in not licensed"

Small Synth but this is Great

Great sound, vintage and most popular for EDM, it's very simple tu use and nice preset . I love It !! Thank to UAD

excellent

gets to the sounds I want easily and quickly. so many inspiring presets

Love it

Fabulous

Great synth with clear analog vibe in it

Polymax

Great Presets. Easy to use. Much better than I thought it would be.

Beautiful

Quite honestly, the thought of using presets on anything gives me a rash - but on this synthesizer they are so good.. I use 'em. Universal Audio did something very special here. Highly recommended. Thank you.

A New Level Of Bread And Butter.

i have my Moogs, Oberheims, and all manner of otherly analog soft synths, but this set me on my ear... that the oscillator wave forms morph, makes it like tweaking a 2-Osc, but sounding like More Than That, need be... i like that it's all there, and that everything makes sense, when i go in for the hone... an extremely well thought interface and "circuit", makes it a 90% synth that can reach your nooks and crannies of sonic aspiration without busting a sweat , and still sound as visceral as any old school analog while it's at it.

PolyMAX

Simple to use, great sound. Your own creativity is the only limit.

Ein Wahnsinns Synth

Einer der am besten klingenden Synths in meinem Arsenal . Klare bis kräftige Sounds , aufgeräumte Optik -einfach genial .

In Love

Really awesome Pads and leads straight away. So much fun tweaking
