I cannot overstate state how much I like it. I’ve never had a proper scope in my system, but I find the visual feedback really helpful. The controls are all really playable. I had an original Chord, and it felt like it wasted a lot of space; not so with Polygogo. The faders give you good (and importantly useful) percision and everything has an offset as well, which is nice. It has “sweet ranges”, and it’s easy to push into same-y nonsense noise when you start to push everything, but you definitely start to learn which controls and ranges are most useful, and again the visuals are informative about what is actually happening. I’ve sunk many many hours into just playing with it while it drones. It’s a genuinely fun way to explore sound. The module looks like a novelty, and it most definitely is not. It has some limitations, but I definitely arranged a case in ModularGrid with 4 of them for funsies. If anything, it would be nice if they designed it with a poly expander in mind, as it is a huge space investment for a single voice. That said, I have no intention of removing it. Once it hits effects, it can get so big.
Yeah, Lubadh and Arbhar have both been considerations. Morphagene is somewhere between, and I’ve owned one before. Both units do different things the Morphagene kind of does but better, but also clearly are not the same things? It’s a tough call. It seems pretty obvious to me why some people have each of them in the same case. I’ve considered sideboarding them, but each one is also fairly expensive, so I hesistate. Something I will keep thinking about.
