🎛️ Multivoicer – Intelligent Pitch Harmonizer

4 Pitch-Shifted Voices – Add harmonies creating lush layered melodies characteristic of Polyphia productions. Intelligent algorithm analyzes input generating musical intervals automatically.

Revamped Interface – Completely redesigned UI simplifies workflow eliminating complex MIDI routing previously required. Intuitive controls make crafting intricate voicings faster than ever.

Expanded Scales – Two new options (Harmonic Minor, Melodic Minor) join existing modes expanding tonal possibilities for jazz, fusion, progressive compositions.

Voicing Library – Full control over root note, modes, chords for harmonization and arpeggiation. Customize intervals matching specific musical contexts.

MIDI Mode – Receive MIDI chords/notes harmonizing DI signal to MIDI-instructed pitch. Route MIDI track into Multivoicer creating dynamic harmonies varying over time rather than fixed single chord.

🔊 Three Custom Amplifiers

Roses (Acoustic/Piezo Amp) – Bright sparkly amplifier faithfully recreated from Tim’s studio signal chain bringing rich harmonics fullness of acoustic instruments. Proprietary blend control simulates acoustic/piezo sparkle on conventional pickups making electric guitars sound acoustically similar.

Cherubs (British Low-Gain) – Vox-style amplifier with two channels achieving glassy cleans to edge-of-breakup warm crunch. Dynamic responsive character covers enough ground recording full albums. Vintage British voicing delivering chimey mid-scooped tones perfect for funk, pop, ambient rhythm parts.

Pink (Lead Amplifier) – Dynamic rich amp model for heavier rhythms soaring leads. Modded Marshall-style voicing provides high-gain capability while maintaining clarity definition. Not traditional high-gain monster—unique character balancing aggression with musicality.

📻 Cabsim Module – 324 IRs

6 Virtual Microphones – Position around speakers capturing different tonal characteristics. Dynamic (57-style), Condenser (U87-style), Ribbon mics available.

324 Impulse Responses – 108 IRs per cabinet (3 cabs total) captured by producer Adam “Nolly” Getgood. Professional studio-quality IR library covering wide sonic palette.

Room Send Control – New X update feature introducing subtle room reverb effect adding natural depth spatial character. Adjustable send level blending room ambience with direct cabinet signal.

Custom IR Loading – Import favorite third-party impulse responses. Supports standard WAV format IRs from any manufacturer.

🎚️ Effects Suite

Stereo Chorus – Lush swirly modulation with minimal tweaking required. Adds width movement to clean/rhythm tones.

Delay – 3 modes (Ping Pong, Wide, Normal), 3 types (Diffusion, Vintage Digital, Modern). Tempo-syncable with tap tempo, extensive filtering options.

Reverb – Ranges from subtle rooms to apotheotic angelical shimmers. Modulation, pre-delay, damping controls shaping spacious textures experimental ambient sounds.

Pre-Effects – Boost/Drive pedal (gain, level, bass/treble controls), Compressor (adjustable amount, attack speed), Gate (noise reduction for high-gain tones).

9-Band Graphic EQ – Updated with high-pass/low-pass filters providing precise tonal sculpting. ±12dB per band, visual feedback for frequency adjustments.

🌐 Global Features

Transpose – Pitch shift entire signal up/down semitones matching different tunings without retuning guitar.

Doubler – Duplicates signal simulating larger stereo image. Adjustable spread (3-20ms) controlling width.

Live Tuner – Built-in chromatic tuner for quick tuning checks during practice/recording sessions.

Metronome – Standalone mode only. Practice tool with adjustable tempo, time signatures.
