Cherry Audio Polymode User Guide - 1
The Polymode virtual instrument is inspired by one of the world's ļ¬rst
polyphonic synthesizers of the 70s. Its unique multiple ļ¬lter implementation
and mod routings gives it a sound like no other synth - it excels at large
pads, strings, and vocal-esque sounds.
Unfortunately, the original is known to be highly unreliable as a result of its
elaborate circuitry and the inconsistent quality control of 70s electronic
components. They were also really expensive ($5200 in mid-70s dollars!),
weighed a ton, sensitive to movement, and relatively confusing to operate.
Cherry Audio Polymode sidesteps every one of these drawbacks - hooray for
modern computers! Of course we've eliminated all of the original's reliability
issues, we've updated its controls to make it far easier to use, and we've
added extensive modulation routing to almost every control for an immense
improvement in creative possibilities.

If you haven't purchased the full version of Polymode, it will run in demo
mode. All functions will work, but inharmonic tones will occasionally sound
(the LED next to
Demo
in the top toolbar will illuminate when the ugly tones
are sounding). We've also added a handy button to make purchasing easy, so
you've got no excuse! As you might expect, all this demo stuļ¬ disappears
once Polymode is purchased.

Top Toolbar and Preset Browser
The purple strip at the top of the Polymode interface is where youāll load,
save, and create sound presets. It also contains utility functions such as
undo, redo, UI zoom and
Focus
controls, under-the-hood settings, and more.
Letās go over them:
New
- Opens a new blank patch preset. If an unsaved patch is currently open
or youāve modiļ¬ed an existing saved patch, a dialog asks if youād like to save
the patch in its current state. This greatly reduces the possibility of losing an
edited unsaved patch.
Save
- Use this to save patches. There are a couple of levels of hierarchy:
Collection
- This is the top level of organization, and contains entire āsetsā
of presets. The
Polymode Presets
are the main included collection. We
also include a
User Presets Collection
for storing your own presets, but
youāre free to create your own collections. To create a new collections,
click in the
Collection
ī¢text ļ¬eld (where it says
User Presets
ī¢above) and
Cherry Audio Polymode User Guide - 4
type a name. User-created sounds can be freely saved to any collection;
we like to keep āem separated for organizational purposes.
Categories
- Within each
Collection
are a number of sound categories. As
with collections, youāre free to create as many categories as you like. To
create a category, click in the
Category
text ļ¬eld of the
Save
dialog
window and type a new category name.
Patch
- A patch is an individual sound. To save a patch, simply type the
name in the
Name
ļ¬eld and click
Save
.
Keywords
- You can add descriptive words such as āhuge,ā ānoisy,ā etc., to
patches to make them appear when terms are typed in the
Search
ļ¬eld.
Use commas to separate multiple keywords entries.
Browsing Patches
- Patches can be browsed by clicking the <
Select Preset
>
ļ¬eld. To select a preset collection, click in the area that says <
All
Collections
> or on the downward-facing arrow next to it.
Clicking on the left-side categories narrows down which patches are
displayed.
<
All Presets
> will show presets from all collections and categories.
<
Recent
> displays recently used presets.
Refresh
- This is the circular arrow button to the right of the downward
arrow; clicking this checks the Cherry Audio server for new or updated
Cherry Audio Polymode User Guide - 5
presets.
Pin -
Clicking the push-pin icon locks the patch selection list open, allowing
fast and easy browsing and auditioning of patches. Click the icon again to
disable pin mode. when in pin mode, the up and down arrow keys can be
used to select patches.
Preset- Step Back/Forward Arrows
- These step to the previous or next preset.
macOS [ā+left/right arrow key] or Windows [CTRL+left/right arrow key] will
navigate through presets back and forth in the currently selected
collection/category.
Undo/Redo
- These circular arrows will undo or redo the last action. It
remembers many steps, so if you really loused something up, keep on
clickin'...
Settings-
This is where user preferences for user interface, audio interfaces,
user account, and more are conļ¬gured. See the section for full Settings
information.
Importing Presets with drag-and-drop
Presets can be imported singly or en masse (as a single compressed ZIP ļ¬le)
simply by dragging and dropping from the desktop anywhere on the user
interface.
Cherry Audio Polymode User Guide - 6
If a single .*preset ļ¬le is dragged and dropped, the sound is immediately
loaded and the standard Save Preset dialog appears; this lets you save the
sound to the instrument's preset browser. Note that you don't have to save
the sound to preset browser; if you just want to hear and play the sound,
click the Cancel button in the Save Preset dialog - the sound will still be
loaded.
Compressed zip ļ¬les containing multiple sounds can also be drag and
dropped onto the UI. This works the same as with single sounds, but instead
of the Save Preset dialog, you'll see the Import Preset Collection dialog. The
presets will be added as a new collection and available in the categories for
which they were tagged.
Zoom Magnifying Glass-
Click to resize the Polymode interface. Selecting
100%
returns the user interface to native size.
MIDI Tab-
Opens the MIDI controllers tab for conļ¬guring internal and
hardware MIDI controls. See the MIDI Controllers Setup and MIDI Tab
section for full information.
!
(MIDI Panic)
- Click to send an all-notes-oļ¬ message in case of, "why won't
this thing stop making noise?!?" stuck-note incidents.
Tempo
(Standalone Version Only)- Displays Polymodeās current internal
tempo setting. Polymode's internal tempo aļ¬ects the
Echo
, and
Modulator 1
and
2
sections when their corresponding
Sync
buttons are toggled. The
tempo setting can be changed by moving the mouse up and down anywhere
in the tempo section, or by double-clicking the number and entering the
desired BPM value.
The tempo display only appears in the standalone version of
Polymode. VST, AU, and AAX plug-in versions receive tempo data
from their host DAW app.ī¢
QWERTY Musical Typing Keyboard
- Opens an onscreen keyboard allowing a
standard QWERTY computer keyboard to be used for playing music notes. For
more information, see QWERTY Musical Typing Keyboard (MTK) section.
Cherry Audio Polymode User Guide - 12
FM - Rate/Amount- Each oscillator rank includes a dedicated triangle-wave
LFO for frequency (pitch) modulation. The
Rate
slider controls LFO speed,
and the
Amount
slider controls LFO depth.
Shape/Mod - Shape- Sets the initial pulse-width of the pulse wave. 5% is
narrowest setting and 50% is a full square wave.
Shape/Mod - Rate/Amount- Each oscillator rank includes a dedicated
triangle-wave LFO for pulse-width modulation (i.e., separate from the
frequency mod LFO). The
Rate
slider controls LFO speed, and the
Amount
slider controls LFO depth.
Mod Source buttons and Attenuator knobs- The
Mod Src
selector
buttons and attenuators beneath the sliders allow positive or inverted
voltage control of the slider directly above. Clicking the
Mod Src
selector
button opens a pop-up menu where the mod source can be selected. Once a
mod source is chosen, the button turns red and its text changes to indicate
the current mod source. To choose a diļ¬erent mod source, click the button
and choose another modulator, or choose
None
to disable modulation. The
attenuator knobs beneath the
Mod Src
buttons set a positive or inverted
voltage control amount for the controls.
Rank Mix- Balances the level of oscillator
Rank 1
and
Rank 2
. Set to the
center position for an equal mix.
āāāā
Polymode's LFO Smorgasbord -
Most classic polysynths feature a single
LFO, routed via some kind of mod destination selector. Polymode is unique in
that it features a dedicated triangle-wave pitch mod and pulse width LFO, for
each
oscillator (because one of the original oscillator ranks was ramp-wave,
it had an LFO for rank one pulse-width, and separate LFO's for pitch mod of
each oscillator rank). This multiple and independent modulation is the
key to achieving the swirly, warbly sounds it's famous for,
particularly the "
Vox Humana
" preset made famous by synthpop
icon and spiļ¬y dresser, Gary Numan.
In addition to the four LFO's in the oscillator rank section, the
Filter
and
Resonator
sections have their own dedicated triangle-wave LFOs, we've
included two full-featured, syncable "bonus" LFO's (routable via the
Mod Src
)
buttons, and hey, while we're counting, another in the
Phaser,
and
depending on which mode the
Ensemble
eļ¬ect is set to, one more there, or
two more in
Tri Chor
mode, bringing us to a total of up to 11 LFO's. We
weren't kidding when we said Polymode was a modulation monster!
Cherry Audio Polymode User Guide - 13
Resonators
The
Resonators
section is one of the original instrument's most unique
features. It consists of three state-variable ļ¬lters in a parallel conļ¬guration.
The parallel routing means the signal is split and runs into all three ļ¬lters
with their collective outputs summed together. Cranking up the
Emph
controls (aka, resonance) for each band can create three individual "peaks"
or resonances, hence the "resonator" name.ī¢
Another unusual aspect of the original Resonators section is that each is
band-limited. Most synthesizer ļ¬lters are conļ¬gured such that the cutoļ¬
frequency covers the entire audible sound spectrum (20-20,000 Hz, give or
take), whereas each of the three resonators cover a "slice" of the audio
spectrum, i.e. low, med, and high frequencies as follows:
Low: 60 - 300 Hz
Med: 300 - 1500 Hz
High: 1500 - 7500 Hz
Cherry Audio Polymode User Guide - 14
The original
Resonators
section has two major shortcomings: the ļ¬lter slopes
are a little too shallow to create really dramatic resonance eļ¬ects, and the
cutoļ¬ frequencies aren't CV controllable. We've addressed both of these
issues with a 12/24 db slope selector, as well as bipolar CV inputs for each
cutoļ¬ frequency
The
Resonators
section excels at creating formant-type sounds, and is also
great at emulating phaser-type sounds when its cutoļ¬ frequencies are swept
via CV modulation.
Pass Mode - Globally selects the behavior of all three ļ¬lters.
Lowpass: Allows frequencies
below
ī¢the cutoļ¬ frequency setting to pass
through,
Bandpass: Combines
both
ī¢lowpass and highpass modes, leaving sound
only in the middle of the audio spectrum. The cutoļ¬ frequency lies
roughly halfway between the slope falloļ¬ on either side.ī¢
Highpass: Allows frequencies
above
ī¢the cutoļ¬ frequency setting to pass
through
Notch: The opposite of a bandpass ļ¬lter; a notch ļ¬lter
removes
a narrow
band frequencies in the middle of the audio spectrum, but leaves
frequencies above and below unaļ¬ected. This might not sound all that
useful, but modulating the cutoļ¬ frequency of a notch ļ¬lter creates an
eļ¬ect similar (but not exactly the same) to a phaser. Stacking all three
Resonator stages emphasizes the eļ¬ect.
Slope- The nature of how a ļ¬lter works is that frequencies "fall oļ¬" above or
below the cutoļ¬ frequency. Slope adjusts the steepness of this falloļ¬, hence
the "slope" terminology. A 12db per/octave ļ¬lter has a shallower slope,
giving it a clearer and brighter character, whereas a 24db per/octave ļ¬lter's
steeper slope gives it a tighter and darker tone and far more pronounced
ringing characteristic when the
Emph
ī¢slider is turned up.
Since the controls for the
Low
,
Med
, and
High
sections are the same other
than frequency range, we'll explain them once:
CF (Cutoļ¬ Frequency)- Sets the frequency where attenuation begins.
Attenuation will be above or below this frequency (or both) depending on the
Pass Mode
switch setting.
Emph (Resonance)- Emphasizes sound energy at and around the current
cutoļ¬ frequency by adding feedback from the ļ¬lter's output back to its input.
At lower settings, this can be used to create mild resonances such as those
Cherry Audio Polymode User Guide - 15
heard in acoustic instruments. At more extreme settings, resonance can
create a pure sine wave at its own frequency (variable via theī¢
CF
ī¢slider). Be
careful with the
Emph
sliders as they can get loud at extreme settings (you
can easily control this using each section's
Gain
slider). Note that this
"ringing" resonant frequency is much more prominent with the
Slope
switch
in the
24db
ī¢position.
Gain- This acts as a volume control for each resonator section. Resonator
sections can be muted by setting theirī¢
Gain
control to 0%.
Mod- Rate/Amount- The Resonators section on the original sounds really
awesome when you sweep cutoļ¬ frequency sliders, but the sliders can't be
voltage controlled. It sounds so nifty that we added a dedicated triangle-
wave LFO, much like the FM and shape mod LFO's built into the oscillators.
Of course the Resonators cutoļ¬ frequencies can also be modulated with
Modulator 1
and
Modulator 2
via the
Mod Source
buttons and attenuators
explained below, but the dedicated LFO means you won't have to "waste"
one of the extra modulators, and it makes modulating the Resonators section
fast and simple.
Rate- Sets the LFO mod speed from 0.05-10 Hz.
Amount - Sets the mod depth from 0 to 100%.
Note that the
Mod
controls aļ¬ect all three resonator sections equally. If you'd
like to modulate the Resonators' individual sections separately, use the
Mod
Source
buttons and attenuator knobs.
Mod Source buttons and Attenuator knobs- The
Mod Src
selector
buttons and attenuators beneath the sliders allow positive or inverted
voltage control of the slider directly above. Clicking the
Mod Src
selector
button opens a pop-up menu where the mod source can be selected. Once a
mod source is chosen, the button turns red and its text changes to indicate
the current mod source. To choose a diļ¬erent mod source, click the button
and choose another modulator, or choose
None
to disable modulation. The
attenuator knobs beneath the
Mod Src
buttons set a positive or inverted
voltage control amount for the controls.
Cherry Audio Polymode User Guide - 16
Mode Filters
On the original instrument these buttons allowed selection of hard-wired
sound presets; in addition to changing waveform, octave, and envelope
parameters, the numbered preset buttons also routed audio through ļ¬xed
ļ¬lter circuits. Each preset had its own custom ļ¬xed ļ¬lter board, known as a
"mode ļ¬lter."
Unlike a typical synth ļ¬lter, they have no external
controls and they aren't voltage controllable, so they can't change
timbre over time.
It's best to think of the
Mode Filters
as preset EQ curves.
Given Voltage Modular's sophisticated factory and user preset browser, we
felt it would be redundant (and potentially confusing) for the
Mode
preset
buttons to aļ¬ect all of Polymode's controls, so please keep in mind that the
Mode ļ¬lter names refer only to the mode ļ¬lters themselves, not
entire sound patches
(the factory presets are accurately reproduced and
appear in the included in the
Factory
presets folder).
There were actually two original instrument models - the 203A, which is the
full-tilt boogie version with numerous controls, and eight sound presets/mode
ļ¬lters. A couple of years later, a less expensive, cut-down version (model
280a) was released., but it increased the number of presets (and mode
ļ¬lters) to 14. Generally speaking, the 280A is less desirable, but it featured
the desirable "Vox Humana" preset. As a result, many Polymoog 203A
owners have their instruments modiļ¬ed to eliminate one of the lesser
presets and replace it with the Vox Humana settings and mode ļ¬lter PCB.
We've essentially done this in the Polymode module - it retains all eight of
the standard mode ļ¬lter presets and adds Vox Humana as a ninth "extra"
preset.
To use the
Mode
ļ¬lters, simply select one and raise the
Mode
slider
in the
Master Gain
section. The LED numeric indicator displays the
currently selected mode ļ¬lter. As mentioned, switching mode ļ¬lters won't

aļ¬ect other parameters (unlike a real one, which annoyingly jumbles the
current octave and waveform settings).
