U-He tells us that they are wrapping up 2017 with the release of Repro v1.1, a free update for Repro-1 that includes the Repro-5 polyphonic synth.

A spokesperson told us, "A year ago we released Repro-1, a brash and raw monosynth. This year we added a new polyphonic family member: Repro-5. Repro-5 shares a lot of sonic DNA with Repro-1, but once you start playing with Repro-5 you will discover new and unique flavours and characteristics, most notably polyphony. Repro is one product, one installer, two synths with analogue authenticity front and centre--two famous analogue synthesizers meticulously recreated using component-level modelling."
