EMW VPoly 6X: Pads, Strings, and Analog Sounds in a Brazilian VA Synth Module

video upload by Marcus Padrini

"The EMW VPoly-6X from @emwsynthesizers is a Brazilian polyphonic VA synthesizer, in module format, inspired by the classic Korg Polysix.

I had the opportunity to follow part of the development, test different prototypes, and contribute some ideas to the project. In this video, I show in detail how the VPoly works, its construction, its voice modes, effects, timbre editing, and, most importantly, how it sounds.

The VPoly 6X has six voices of polyphony, an oscillator with sub-oscillator, a multimode filter, envelopes, LFO, different polyphonic and monophonic modes, and an effects processor with chorus, ensemble, phaser, delay, and Bloom.

I also show the Spread, an independent feature that distributes the voices in the stereo field and adds small variations in pitch, creating broad and immersive sounds.
