Its 3-line display simplifies mapping data from your controller to PoiZone parameters. But the resemblance doesn't end there - a thick pad called Jupiter TC sounds a lot like an analog Roland synth (see Web Clip 1).Īt the top left of the single-window interface is the Master Controls section. PoiZone's clear-cut user interface resembles some of Roland's classic synths, like the Juno-106 and Jupiter 6. I installed PoiZone on a MacBook Pro with a 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo processor, 2 GB of RAM, and a 120 GB drive running Mac OS X 10.4.10 and Apple Logic Pro 7. PoiZone features an arpeggiator, chorus and delay effects, polyphonic glide, and a 4-voice unison function, as well as ring and pulse-width modulation. Both standalone and as an AU or VST plug-in, it comes with 256 convincing virtual analog presets that are logically categorized and especially well suited for dance and electronica. PoiZone is a straightforward subtractive synthesizer with two oscillators, three resonant filter modes, two ADSR generators, and variable polyphony of up to 32 voices.
