POLYPHRASE

polyphrase is a stereo echo and looping device inspired by early proto-digital delays of the 1970s like the Lexicon Prime Time. as sophisticated as it is easy-to-use, polyphrase is capable of everything from rich, dubby rhythmic repeats to metallic resonant flanges

unique in being able to generate loops as long as 22 seconds, polyphrase opens up a new palette of sonic possibilities for the avant-garde, ambient, or adventurous musician
