How to install
Installation is no different from a normal app. For Windows, it is "Polygon_setup.exe" in "WIN", and for Mac, it can be installed from "Polygon_Installer.dmg".
You can decide where to store the sample yourself.
PolygonWhen you start from your DAW, a screen for specifying the sample folder will appear, so specify it.
Be careful here, "POLYGON_SAMPLES"not, The root folder when unzipped "GM_POLYGONMust be specified.
Sound source demo
First, I looped with just one note of note C6 and changed the preset appropriately.
I use only the default IR in Fruity Convolver to create an atmosphere.
Since the volume is loud, please turn down the volume and listen.It suddenly grows on the way.
PolygonThe good thing is that the wav file you use is the same and you can change the preset.
You can change the preset by fixing the wav file by unchecking "LOAD SAMPLES WITH PRESETS" of "M" of "GLOBAL" below.
And wonderfullyGlitch machinesYou can download Sci-Fi effect sounds for free from the original site of.If you use these, the variation will increase considerably.
TERATOMASince the voice of a person is originally included in, you can easily create a little horror-like effect. (I could easily make a sound that I didn't want to make in the middle of the night.)
Since the volume is loud, please turn down the volume and listen.It suddenly grows on the way.
SPOREI loaded 4 samples from, fixed the samples and changed only the presets.
Only one note of note C4 is looping.There are only four samples and one C4 note.
Since the volume is loud, please turn down the volume and listen.It suddenly grows on the way.
Summary
You can easily create FX sounds.Just changing the sample to be loaded will change the atmosphere considerably, and just changing the pitch to be played will change the atmosphere. (It's pretty scary if there is a human voice)
AndGlitchmachines PolygonIs currently VERSION 1.3.It's great that it's not just made, it's maintained. (Ver 1.0 is2013Release）
I'm worried about how to use it, but I'll try loading it into Maschine and chopping it to see if it can be used.
Now the bundled version is a great deal.
