Alesis Fusion Vox Humana - Who needs a Polymoog?

Who needs a Polymoog keyboard synthesizer? The Alesis Fusion synth can emulate the legendary Polymoog 'Vox Humana' preset sound (synonymous with Gary Numan), when the Vox Humana sample set is installed on the Fusion.

Is this a stock fusion sound or is it from Hollow Sun??

[VoxNumana]

The prest was downloaded from hollow sun. It's free and only takes a minute to install on the Fusion.

I thought I had an unfinshed version of Numan's Airlane on one of my hard drives (again using Vox Humana). My intention was to upload the unfinished track to YouTube but as yet, I can't find it.

If you want to hear what a real top-shape polymoog should sound like, check out youtube user: synthpro

He totally refurbished an old beat up polymoog practically from the ground up. Sounds and looks brand new.

[VoxNumana]

Yeah I've watched these videos with great interest.

With old, classic analog synths it's not about need, it's about want.

'I would assume he still keeps his alive and going for the road'

No chance I'm afraid. Trent borrowed that Polymoog just for that gig as a surprise for Gary. Numan had no idea it was going to be there til he rocked up for rehearsal. I don't think he's had one in his own live setup since the 80s. He's certainly not nostalgic about them, hence his deranged assertion that the Roland D50 does a perfectly good impression of one - yeah right - and his refusal to even use samples of it.

Great demo! Should I buy a 6HD or an 8HD?

@soundmanhaven1 If you look at the NIN video with Gary Numan you still see the Polymoog on stage with him and he actually plays it in the song. The video was shot in 09 so I would assume he still keeps his alive and going for the road.

Hi WELL PLAYED & that's a real stunner of a keyboard I'd love one of them as you say how it's like a polly moog which Gary Numan uses. I'm a huge fan of G Nmn, Just about finished a version of photograph a Gary Numan cover I've done track by track. I have a Juno G Roland, E86 Roland & a few other stunning keyboards. I do other Gary Numan, Kraftwerk covers & others. I play keyboard & sing old time classics for elderly groups, record bits of my own stuff but it's just a hobby. Cheers from Rich

is this what gary numan uesd for his current tour recently....?

[synthpro]

I honestly have to say that this is still the closest vox humana sample I have heard yet.

[VoxNumana]

Yeah I suppose you have to take into account - codecs, filters etc but within reason they should sound fairly similar.
