http://bigcitymusic.com/ Here are a few combination presets from the new and super awesome sounding Dave Smith Tetra.

The Tetra is an analog 4-voice synthesizer with great features like multiple envelopes, LFOs, sequencers, an analog resonant filter and more. Dave has somehow managed to squeeze a ton of features and functionality into a very small package. The Tetra sounds amazing, and the price is amazingly low!

Sounds much better than the Minimoog! Yet the same wonderful sounds as it had! Polyphony makes synthesizers really good instruments!

This may be a dumb question, but could I use one of these for guitar? I would love to use some of those synth sounds on a project I'm working on, but I can't play keyboards to save my life : /

Yes, but it would take a long time and be a PITA

Speaking purely from a recording perspective, could you not just multitrack a mono synth to achieve polyphony?

What you hear is straight out of the Tetra. It sounds great without any processing.

Is there any processing done on these sounds? Or is this straight out of the synth?

@novanine9 Alternatively 4-voice polyphony means you can assign all 4 voices to one note to make it sound "bigger". Polyphony is merely the number of "voices" a voice is simply one sound.

@novanine9 why don't you use the Google like everyone else??

I could imagine routing each output channel through its own chain of effects and discrete channel in a quad amp setup. That would present an all-encompassing aural enclosure... 10,000 sheer watts'o'hell.

@novanine9 polyphony is the number of sounds possible to place at once multi-timbre is the amount of different voices

@novanine9 related to the second part of your question, a synth is multitimbral when it can play two different sounds (i.e. patches) at the same time.

@edjwise Ok. But there could have been solution -like that one which is used in some computer motherboards integrated audio: user have ability to choose what analog I/O 's do. It could be either 5.1 out OR normal in, out and microphone. Same way DSI could have made it work in TETR4, hide somewhere in the menu section or backpanel switch that turns one of its outputs to input. Sadly because it might require hardware modifications i guess it's not going to be added in future firmwares..

@novanine9 4-voice polyphony means you can play up to 4 different notes simultaneously.

@andivax They made the compromise on the tetra and it gets 4 outs and not the filter in.
