Poly Cinematic vs Monumatic
Is the PC likely to get any updates anymore now PC2 (aka as Monumatic) is out? Still feel a little cheated in that PC1 is only really useful as a MIDI sound source ... so many times I want to drive it as even a monophonic source (perhaps detuned unison mode) vs the over complicated CV level playing 8 different chords ... is it impossible to make it a CV v/oct device as well? Or would that be eating into the PC2/Monumatic market - I think I know the answer, lots of PC1s on Reverb and other marketplaces soon

Poly Cinematic can indeed be controlled by cv/octave but the hardware isn’t bipolar meaning you can only tune it upwards so it helps to offset it by a volt. It also has mono mode, shift longpress trigger. Other than that Monumatic has more sophisticated hardware like Jack sensing that enables features like assignable CV so we can’t share that with the PC.
