Frequently Asked Questions
While inspired by the Juno-106's filter, the Poly D’s ladder filter has a slightly more aggressive, raw character, particularly at higher resonance levels.
The 32-step sequencer is straightforward and visually clear, with a logical layout that's quite forgiving for beginners, though deeper programming requires some experimentation.
The velocity response is decent for the price, but it's noticeably less refined than more expensive synths with premium keybeds – expect some slight inconsistencies.
