What it does

Polyscape Analog is a layered synth from Karanyi Sounds, described by the developer as a "pad-focused instrument built from rare vintage synths." It runs on the multi-layer engine of Polyscape Nova and is aimed at ambient scores, retro textures and cinematic soundscapes.

Four synth layers: four analog synthesizer modules built from rare vintage analog and modular synths, stacked into one sound.
Sub layer: a dedicated sub-synth layer to reinforce the low end.
Drive: five distortion algorithms, from subtle saturation to crunchy overdrive.
Effects: Echoluxe (a reverb and delay combination), an analog-modelled channel filter with LFO, Dimension, Phaser, a master filter, a Glue compressor and a Tonal EQ.
Smart randomizer: separate random buttons for sound source, ADSR, delay, texture and reverb, or Random All for a new patch.
Presets: 100 factory presets, per Plugin Boutique.

The current version is 1.0.0. The developer and Plugin Boutique both sell it, and a 7-day trial is available.

When to use it

Polyscape Analog is the pick for fast, vintage-flavoured pads and textures without programming a synth from scratch: you stack layers, add effects and hit the randomizer. Compared with u-he Diva or Arturia CS-80 V, it offers much less synthesis depth, since you combine prepared sources instead of shaping oscillators and filters. Compared with Omnisphere 3, it is a far smaller and cheaper layering instrument with a narrower focus on analog pads. Compared with Pigments 7, it has one simple workflow rather than several engines, which makes it quicker but less versatile.

Best for: evolving analog pads, retro keys and textures, and quick ideas from the randomizer.
Genres: ambient, cinematic and trailer music, synthwave and other electronic styles.
Look elsewhere if: you want to program classic subtractive patches from scratch (Diva or CS-80 V) or need a large all-round sound library (Omnisphere 3).
