During August, you can claim a free copy of PolyMAX vintage-inspired synth by Universal Audio with any Loopcloud pricing plan, starting as low as €6.99 / month with the Artist plan.
This can be a great deal if you consider that the value of PolyMAX is 217,00 €, and it runs natively on your Mac or PC without UA hardware.
If you’re addicted to warm, lush polyphonic tones and the entire renaissance of yesterday’s sounds with a modern refresh, this synth may be perfect.
It features analog-modeled oscillators and filters, high-quality UA effects, and curated presets designed for fast use across a variety of genres.
Its roots and main design inspirations come from early Jupiters, Oberheims, and Prophets, with the ability to create fat sounds that instantly sit into any mix easily.
The interface looks intuitive, with key controls spread out in panels.
The signal flow is typical of a subtractive synth, with two main oscillator sections that feed into the main state-variable filter, with separate envelopes for both filter and amplifier.
At the oscillator’s stage, you can add FM, SYNC one oscillator to the other, blend a white or pink noise layer and apply an LFO or Envelope modulation to a set of parameters.
In this way, you can extend quite a bit the timbral possibilities to the standard oscillator’s waveforms of saw, square, triangle, and pulse.
PolyMAX also includes a simple arpeggiator with controls on the Rate and Mode of operation.
The effects section includes vintage stylish effects like spring reverb, digital hall reverb, tape delay, and modulation textures courtesy of phaser, flanger, and chorus.

Turning back our attention to Loopcloud, it must be noted that any subscription plan grants you access to a 1GB Welcome Pack containing both samples and presets for the included Loopcloud Drum and LoopcLoud Play instruments.
If you decide to cancel your subscription, the samples you downloaded with the credit system remain in your account’s storage, which is great.
So even if you’re still skeptical about subscription plans, this deal may be worth considering.
