Bristronica 2023: Per-Sonal - Polynator - play TR8-S and Digitakt in Poly

Ғылым және технология

At Machina Bristronica 2023, we spoke to Wim Van den Borre from Per-Sonal about their innovative software application Polynator that adds a new dimension to monophonic samplers like the DigiTakt or TR-8S. The application, compatible with various platforms, including iPad, Raspberry Pi, Mac, and Windows, transforms your monophonic sampler into a polyphonic synthesizer. It introduces features like pitch bends, modulation wheel functions, and grouped parameters (macros) assignable to any CC value, greatly expanding the capabilities of your sampler. Wim demonstrated how you can set it up once and then play with one-note chords and pitch bends, making it versatile for live performances and studio work. The app also facilitates complex MIDI routing and customization, allowing you to get creative with your music setup. With an expected price of around €29, it's an affordable and powerful tool for musicians looking to enhance their monophonic samplers.
For more information about Per-Sonal and their unique software application, you can visit their website and follow them on social media platforms like Instagram for updates. Keep an eye out for the app's release in the coming weeks to explore its potential for your music production.
Polynator Price: 29 Euros

    The Digitakt has real powerfull oscillators so to be able to play them polyphonically with aftertouch and modhweel is awesome. And multi channel LFO's!

    This is great, very promising for open mined TR-8S/6S users. Like a vastly improved version of TR8Skreamer. My only worry is that by using sysex instead of midi cc on the TR-8S, the playing wont be captured by the internal sequencer.

    Looks hella over complicated to make a mono synth/sample poly. Why would you bother?

    Have to agree, seemed to spend so long working out how they forgot to ask why. I have a TR-8S and haven’t spent a single second scratching my chin over how to make it play chords, much like never trying to make toast with my fridge freezer.

    Well…imagine you don’t have a lot of gear aside from a TR-8S or 6S. You install a little app on your phone and it turns your drum machine into a knobby 11-voice polyphonic hardware FM synth or sampler. Plus you can still use some of the voices for the usual drums. Basically turns the TR-8S into a groovebox.

    As @coolo73 points out this was indeed an idea from the TR8-S community to be able to extend the awesome machine to be able to play it pitch perfect and even polyphonic. Same goes for the grouped parameters. Of course if this is not in your workflow or desire just put it in the freezer :D

    Tons of Digitakt users would lap this up. Single cycle waveform synthesis can go deep on the Digitakt, But poly playback is a pain. And ppl pay 50 quid for a rk-002 midi cable that offers this functionality. Some people would bother because they want their gear to do more. Plus it adds macros, blinding.I think this is much better than just another synth personally, but each their own.
