easy to use, limited features and reasonable sound
Century is one of those plugins that UAD created based on the knowledge acquired from modeling classic tube preamps. It is not based on a particular model. The idea is interesting. The result is satisfactory but not one of my favorites. It is interesting because it uses relatively little dsp and in addition to emulating the sound of a tube pre, it also has a compressor and equalizer (although very limited). Don't think about doing heavy compression. Only moderate adjustment provides a reasonable result. The equalizer, also used sparingly, offers additional color. In any case, adjusting these parameters moderately, in addition to the pre emulation, will undoubtedly obtain a better sound than the native Apollo pre. I recommend it for those who have little DSP and/or those who are just starting out, due to its ease of use. However, for those looking for a great pre-tube modeled tone, there are better options. One last observation: the output volume is low, even when properly adjusting the signal. This is a project problem, which UAD can easily resolve, and make the updated and corrected plugin available to users.

It is what it is
I love it. It does something that other eq plugins cannot do.

Great synthesizer!
The huge selection of virtual synthesizers can drive you crazy for a while. But strangely enough, I bought PolyMAX Synth without hesitation. Amazing filters and effects are on board, and the best part is the authentic retro sound. Simply bombastic. If you need exactly that kind of mood, this synthesizer is simply wonderful, as the saying goes: take it and use it. I was pleasantly surprised that I could at least find an argument for spending money on this purchase. Thanks to the development team!

Very nice
This plugin sounds very nice.
G. Rostock
Total waste of money
Went back to the free Ableton echo, as this has no tail and really is just a bright reverb.

Best bundle ever.
First bundle I have ever bought that all plugins are usable for what I do. All of the plugins do a wonderful job to represent what the hardware units do. The other units are just icing on the cake. Love Oxide and what it imparts as well as the Century tube channel and pure plat verb.

Great sounding synthesizer
PolyMAX is a great sounding synthesizer with a simple architecture and a well thought GUI.
It's a pleasure to work with it.

great!
Never owned any UAD plugins before they went native. Now that I finally have got my hands on some of their plugins, I am very impressed!
