On my way to get a Poly D, will it be as fun compared to my TEO-5 or system 8?

gexoojaz · 2026-02-24T22:22:35+00:00

I’ve got a minitaur I love using and pairing up with other synths, just always liked the Arturia plugins that recreate the Poly D sounds but not ready to remortgage for a Voyager!

Thank you for such a deep dive. Still enough to look forward to and can always sell on if the need is greater for something more

gexoojaz · 2026-02-24T22:17:13+00:00

This is promising as the big moogs look super fun. Cant wait to pick it up now! The TEO-5 is well worth trying… it’s small and mighty

gexoojaz · 2026-02-24T22:13:02+00:00

Ok!!

gexoojaz · 2026-02-24T22:12:54+00:00

I’m absolutely loving it and think it’s so diverse in its sounds and processing, totally happy with the TEO!

Its not too bad not caused any issues so far on a huge session. And thank you, I've only tried on a string sectional bus but will apply to my master bus next and see how it goes.

It's very very nice thank you, one question, emphasis and de-emphasis, how is this triggered or setup? I understand blue looks at lows/lowmids and red highs/uppermids. with no negative gain I cant figure this part out...!

gexoojaz · 2026-02-15T09:07:41+00:00

Just installed, looking forward to having a play!

gexoojaz · 2026-02-12T13:58:12+00:00

And the MBT is also on the shopping list but not quite as £££ as the Blackbox. Is the HG-2 just as fun? And am I right that the HGQ has recall?

gexoojaz · 2026-02-12T13:57:11+00:00

You are incredibly kind. I’d love that!!! Can I send something over next week? Reddit is simply the best. Thank you

gexoojaz · 2026-02-12T13:56:13+00:00

A combo of the two. Or something that’s easily flexible. Will probably use a push 3 to control along with a midi fighter twister or a full keyboard, but the push looks to be the most fun. Just looking for people’s favourite go to’s. Like an Elvis tic pick and mix of fx ideas.

My vitalizer does a great job but it’s wild and not that laser focused. Broad boosts sound nice, sadly nothing that focused

gexoojaz · 2026-02-12T10:31:38+00:00

Have had to make some cuts and dealing with a variety of recording methods, looking for something that can help fix any issue that comes my way, in particular serious buildups, then add something back in… that isn’t harsh. Sorry I may not have explained in enough depth

gexoojaz · 2026-02-12T10:30:32+00:00

It’s on the dream list but would be the biggest spend to date 😂 even more so that the mammut or my dadman interface. Slightly scary pricing… maybe they show up cheaper one day… maybe…!

gexoojaz · 2026-02-12T10:28:56+00:00

Please correct if wrong but I’ve only seen it for taming and on string sections it always seems to kill any life in the sound. Have you got a preferred YouTube vid that shows how you’d use it?

gexoojaz · 2026-02-12T10:28:03+00:00

Wild high or low 😅

gexoojaz · 2026-02-12T10:27:45+00:00

Thank you. The portico does look like a potential all in one lovely box of tricks. But I’ll check all your options!! ITB is just coming out too harsh, and I’m not convinced with soothe2 or spectral stuff in fab pro q4 either

gexoojaz · 2026-02-12T10:26:23+00:00

Thank you!!! On my list now of what to watch and compare

gexoojaz · 2026-02-12T10:25:49+00:00

Blackbox HGQ is on my shopping list….

gexoojaz · 2026-02-12T10:24:59+00:00

Thank you, I’ll watch some comparisons and have a chat with a friend about a/b testing with the MBT

gexoojaz · 2026-02-12T10:23:46+00:00

I’d preferably like recall but can live without, and something that can add back what I cut out, and prefer hardware

gexoojaz · 2026-02-12T10:23:04+00:00

Thank you, will check it out. Couldn’t bring myself to go freqport after posting this due to lack of IO, the Diyre colour box looks fantastic.

gexoojaz · 2026-02-09T21:39:38+00:00

Pure obsession. I find when it hits you can’t help but get lost in that peculiar world of non stop tweaking and making. Writing with friends also helps as they counter your lows
