I very much enjoy this synth. I haven’t had a chance to use it in a song yet, but it has a very unique sound.

Always happy to read a Sendy review; hype-free, knowledgeable, and thorough. I also like the synth (and Psychic Modulation stuff in general)!

I love the sound of this synth so much I preordered it as soon as it was announced.

In reply to Sendy. Kudos on your intimate knowledge of Boolean logic gates :)

Just a side note: in case anyone was wondering what a “polypulse” is. Basically it’s a waveform that can only be high or low, like a pulse wave, only it can have an arbitrary arrangement of high and low parts in any given cycle. They are used a lot in 8-bit console sound chips, such as the Atari 2600 and have a fairly harsh but interesting sound.

Phonec produces these polypulses when it uses the boolean mixing mode because at each moment it’s comparing the two oscillators, then deciding to output a high or low value, depending on, for example, if oscillator 1 is higher than oscillator 2 at that moment. If the two oscillators are detuned, this will produce an animated polypulse that is constantly changing it’s shape.
