Description

PolyGAS is a polyphonic granular synthesizer from Stone Voices for turning WAV or AIFF material into playable, moving textures. Its granular engine supports 32-part polyphony and includes envelopes, controlled randomization, distortion, filtering, delay or flanger, reverb, and master stereo and tonal controls.

The instrument also includes a microtuning section that reads VAZ/Anamark tuning files with .tun and .scl extensions. Preset and bank tools plus MIDI-controller support make it suitable for building repeatable patches, while the listing identifies VST versions for Win32 and Win64.
