Its impressive, but not acurate. >Not sure exactly what the Polysubass can do, and if its a standalone >processor like the others. http://matthias.grob.org/pParad/ParaPoly.htm#Polysub it asks for separate signals for each string. You can use several kinds of polyphonic pickups though (since the original may not be avalable for you instrument), as long as the level is right (could be modified in the Polysubbass). All the basses of my music are made with it. I usually use the unfiltered piezo or magnetic sound mixed with it and dampen the string a bit with the back hand (or wrist or... you know) at the attack. > >I remain intersted in a device that might work as the dbx does, but >perhaps >also operate into a higher freq range without making the result muddy, >etc. >I'd like to use it for Stick and vocalizations - both with other effects >applied to them, which could include pitch shifting.

Also they all have some glitches, especially when you feed it with a mix of notes. > >thanks! >-Qua > -- ---> http://Matthias.Grob.org
