We say...
One of the most exciting new synth releases we've seen for a while! The Polyvera nails the glorious vibe of old-school digital hardware but with analogue warmth and clever modern features. If you like your synths to have a bit of grit and character, but want to control exactly how much, this is for you!
Manufacturer's description
Polyvera is a six-voice hybrid synthesizer that fuses the raw, edgy textures of vintage digital hardware with the lush warmth of analog circuitry. Designed and hand-assembled in small batches by Swedish boutique manufacturer Suonobuono, Polyvera offers a unique sonic signature steeped in '80s/'90s character—yet tailored for modern workflows.
Each voice features dual digital oscillators capable of wavetable synthesis or sample playback. With more than 100 factory wavetables, support for user samples/wavetables, and direct audio sampling through its input, Polyvera gives direct access to both pristine tones and beautifully imperfect digital artifacts modeled after legendary early digital synths and samplers.
The oscillators are sculpted through a pair of true analog filters with eight distinct modes, offering everything from buttery smoothness to aggressive saturation. Custom-designed exclusively for Polyvera, they inject unmistakable analog depth and presence into the signal path.
Polyvera’s deep modulation architecture empowers expressive sound design, featuring a sub- oscillator, three envelopes, three syncable LFOs, through-zero FM, filter cross-modulation, phase sync, ring modulation, and more—all accessible with minimal menu diving thanks to its 36 hands-on controls.
Two multi-mode effects processors round out the signal chain, delivering a variety of choruses, phasers, delays, and particularly lush reverbs. These all crafted to complement Polyvera’s sonic identity, not generic DSP presets. These are not generic DSP presets, but custom algorithms that have been explicitly developed to fit Polyvera’s own character.
Polyvera supports MPE and polyphonic aftertouch, allowing for detailed expressive control. It includes a 64-step polyphonic sequencer, an onboard arpeggiator, and 512 preset slots shared between factory content and user patches.
Polyvera is a focused instrument with a bold voice, designed for artists and sound explorers who crave character and inspiration at their fingertips.

How much is my shipping?
Shipping is automatically calculated before you submit your payment information. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll be offered shipping options and their prices. In the UK it's normally around £4 for order values under £150, and free above that. Shipping to mainland EU is typically between £7 and £20, depending on the shipping method and the size and weight of the order.
Do you ship to my country?
Almost certainly - the site will give you an estimate of shipping costs if you add an item to the cart and then enter your country and postcode. If you have specific requirements (such as if you prefer UPS over FedEx, for example) then let us know in advance and we'll try to work something out for you.
Shipping methods
We use a combination of Parcelforce, DPD, Royal Mail and UPS for the UK, and for international orders it's either Royal Mail, UPS, DHL or FedEx depending on where you are in the world. If you have a particular preference then try to let us know BEFORE you order so we can look into it for you. Please note that there may occasionally be additional shipping charges if you live in a remote area, depending on what surcharges are applied by the shipper. We'll get in touch to discuss this with you in such cases.
Dispatch times
For UK orders, we normally dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 15:00. If you have a really urgent situation then of course drop us an email before ordering and we'll always do our absolute best to accommodate you.
For international orders, we normally dispatch the same day if we get the order before 13:00 but again, occasionally it might be the next day before we can send it out, and sometimes FedEx or UPS may come a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.
Shipping times
Since April 2020 the couriers we use have suspended guarantees for shipping times, so even though we're paying them for priority services - 24-48 hours for most of the world - in practice it's often an extra day on top and sometimes it can be longer.
There is absolutely nothing we can do about this unfortunately. If you are outside the UK and it's a life-or-death situation where you absolutely MUST have that passive mult for the next day then... it may be better to find a local supplier.
Saturday shipping
If you're in the UK and you order before 15:00 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday delivery (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). The success rate with DPD is about 95% so it's worth a punt most of the time. Please note that if you select Saturday shipping on an order placed earlier in the week, we'll wait until Friday to ship it.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch if you have questions.
