Again, this is word-salad made out of technical terms. "Dynamic" and "condenser" are mutually exclusive, and describe
only the technical means for turning sound pressure changes into an electrical signal. "Polar pattern" is orthogonal to these, describing
only the directional response, regardless of which microphone construction is used. There is no such thing as a generic "dynamic-style polar pattern" any more than there is a "condenser dynamic mic".

If Roland/Boss are using similar terminology, then they are being potentially confusing, too - though I imagine partly because they're using generic names as substitutes for other company's trade-marked product names (as does my Boss GT-10B for some settings.)
I'm sorry if it seems like I'm being too harsh on you; you seem a nice, generous guy, making some very cool (and very nice looking!) plugins, and I have no personal animosity towards you whatsoever. But in technical discussions, terminology needs to be applied consistently, for mutual understanding. Whenever anyone doesn't, then a correction is to be expected (though doing it too many times might lead some people to assume bluffing!). Folks come here looking for advice in some very technical fields, and it's reasonable of them to expect that what they find is both useful and technically accurate - an ongoing job for the whole community.

Not a problem! I have always believed that bearing grudges is a waste of time and energy - especially regarding geeky technical trivia!
(As for me being a "Master"; when folks like

Martin Vicanek et al. post about their areas of expertise, I know when to keep quiet so that I don't spoil my reputation!
