Retro Sounds to Blow your Mind

PolyMAX is our vintage-inspired synth that gives producers, sound designers, and musicians fat analog tones from the golden age of polysynthesis. PolyMAX's warm, analog-modeled oscillators and filters, professional UA effects, and curated presets easily fit into any genre — with album‑ready sounds instantly.

Your New Wonder Synth

PolyMAX's analog bona fides pull from the golden age of polysynthesis. Think early Jupiters, Oberheims, and Prophets with fat sounds that sit perfectly in any mix.* A modern synth with retro roots, PolyMAX takes you from celestial to cinematic and beyond.

Experience Magic with Premium UA Effects

With onboard studio-quality UA effects like legendary digital "Hall B" reverb and analog phasers, flangers, and tape delay, PolyMAX makes any production shine with old‑school synth cool.

Get Instant Inspiration with Album‑Ready Presets

Discover the perfect sound using PolyMAX's curated presets, handcrafted by the synth nerds at UA. Designed for fast use across genres, PolyMAX presets and intuitive knob‑per‑function layout means no menu diving, ensuring you'll get the right sound, right away.

What They Say

I thrive when things are easy. PolyMax is very much that. From pads and keys to wonky leads, it’s a great-sounding instrument.

Grieves

I love getting weird with PolyMAX. I use the built-in arpeggiator and onboard effects to craft sounds that are all my own. The sky's the limit!

    Great Synthesizer

    It is an easy to use, analog feel sounding Instument.

    It has everthing, you neet, for creating a variety of sounds, without that overload of integrated effects.

    The effects chain can be done by other plugins.

    And for that reason, Universal Audio has a lot to offer!

    Thanks!

    Most Excellent!

    Beginner producer in the world of DAW and associated plugins. Have a lot to learn but, to my ear, PolyMAX Synth offers unlimited possibilities.
