Universal Audio is renowned for its well-regarded software emulations of vintage studio gear, but the company also has a handful of plugins in its product catalogue that recreate the sound of classic instruments from years past, including the Minimoog, Hammond B3 and Rhodes MK1.
Launched back in 2022, Universal Audio's PolyMAX synth isn't based on a single instrument, but instead draws broader inspiration from the "golden age of polysynthesis", an era that brought us iconic synths like the Jupiter-8, OB-X and Prophet-5. Until now, PolyMAX has been priced at $199, but the folks at UA must be in a particularly generous mood, as they're giving it away for free until June 30.
