Vintage sound, modern design
Adopting the signature, modern look that Imaginando is known for, the DRC is a sleek and minimalistic design which focuses on creativity. Free from visual distractions, DRC lets you concentrate on creating the sounds you want, without getting overwhelmed with option paralysis. Its architecture follows a similar ethos with a simplistic design, powered by two main oscillators, one sub-oscillator and one noise source, allowing up to eight voices simultaneously. This combination offers the balance between usability and complex tonal possibilities, letting you achieve virtually any sound you could imagine, all while completely in control over your sound design.
Sound on the go
Available in formats across Windows, Mac, Android and iOS, you can work on your favourite patch no matter where you are. Whether you're at the studio working with a client or travelling between studios or just at your home, with DRC you can enjoy the same quality of sounds across every device. Powered by the same architecture and design, each of the different formats presents the exact same engine for a consistent sound no matter what device you are currently using. With Cloud-sync functionality, you can save your current project and reload it on any other device and pick up right where you left off, making it the ultimate portable synthesizer plug-in for musicians and producers on the go.
Stunning effects processing
The heart and soul of DRC Poly Synth is the ability to transform simple, static sounds into evolving soundscapes through onboard processing. A huge range of tonal changes is possible within DRC, everything from built-in effects to filtering and even dynamic modulation. Staples of synthesis tones are included with the detuning, sync and ring modulation capabilities, allowing you to customise your oscillators to create interesting and unique sounds for your sound design. This can then be taken a step further with the included filtering options, a smooth four-pole self-resonating low-pass, ladder-style filter to add excitement and energy to sweeping build-ups and for smooth tonal shaping, cutting excessive high-end information. An additional two-pole multi-mode filter features low-pass, high-pass, band-pass and notch modes to help you to fit your sound to your mix.
Adding professional polish to your sound, adding the final touches is made easy with the inclusion of onboard effects. Used either creatively to add depth, dimension and movement or subtlety to help thicken a sound, the onboard effects are ideal for enhancing the character of your synth tones. A beautiful stereo tape delay, similar to that found in K7D, with time modulation is perfect for adding rhythmic complexity to your arpeggios. An expansive and lush stereo reverb elongates the tail of your synth tones, adding depth and dimension for wide-open soundscapes. Lastly, an immaculately modelled multi-mode analog chorus adds excitement and movement to your sound, helping to cut through even the densest of mixes.
