POLYTONE DUAL‑LAYER SYNTHESIZERPolytone is a synth-lovers’ synth. Inspired by our favorite vintage hardware, we designed it to recreate the warm analog sounds you know and love. But it wouldn’t be us if we didn’t tweak the formula for more possibilities. Even better, Polytone has two layers that can be stacked or morphed between for super fat or evolving sounds.
Polytone is more than just a replica of the past. It’s a loving tribute.00:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:00

REASON TOOLSFive new devices that simplify common tasks for a smoother workflow, so that you spend less time on the boring stuff and more time making music.
Sidechain Tool is all about ducking signals. Use Auto Pump for that classic four-on-the-floor pumping, Trigger to play the rhythm via MIDI, or the traditional Sidechain mode for classic sidechain compression.
Gain Tool puts you in control over signal levels, stereo panning, and routing in one sleek package. Perfect for automation, auditioning, or using in a Combinator.
Stereo Tool is a stereo widener specifically designed to make a simple signal sound bigger and wider. Perfect for giving that old mono synth or vocal track new life.
Take control of your MIDI performance. Note Tool will filter notes, transpose, shape velocity, adjust note lengths, and even hold notes for you. An indispensable Player for the players.
Flip a coin and roll the dice. Random Tool is a Player that takes incoming MIDI notes and applies chance-based randomization to Pitch, Velocity, and Note Length. It’s a simple and fast way to add interest to stiff sequences and predictable playing.
