INTRODUCT ION
Congratulations on buying the Polymath synthesiser. Polymath is part of the Analogue
Solutions range of analogue music equipment. Polymath is a precision electronic musical
instrument. It combines all the often needed music electronic circuitry to make a music
synthesiser in one compact module.
No compromise has been made with the construction of Polymath. Cheaper options in parts
have not been used;
 Full rugged steel/aluminium case - no plastic mouldings
 Good quality smooth potentiometers, fully sealed against dust
 Good quality knobs with spun aluminium caps
 High grade double-sided circuit board
 High Quality 16bit DAC for MIDI-CV conversion
 Very stable MIDI to CV
 Stable analogue oscillators
 Hand built by humans
 True retro analogue voice and modulation circuits to give an authentic retro sound
 1970s retro sound
 Real thick quality wood side panels
BRIEF OVERVIEW
Polymath is a self-contained TRUE analogue synthesiser. The voice and modulation circuitry
are entirely analogue, using all discrete and op-amp components.
Polymath uses a 12dB per octave multimode filter which has plenty of character.
APPLICATIONS
MONO SYNTHESISER
Polymath is for use any time you need analogue sound effects, fat basses, screaming leads,
beeps, tones, zaps, and all the other crazy sounds associated with analogue synthesis.
Use in place of your boring digital synth’s and DSP soft synth’s. In Unison Mode the sound is
HUGE!
