Polyend Play Sample and MIDI Based Groovebox

The Polyend Play is possibly the most flexible and inspirational groovebox ever created. Loaded with over 3000 samples and 8 tracks of audio sequencing, you can create beats straight out of the box and truly make them your own with a wide variety of playback tools and effects. Pick and place your sounds anywhere on the grid for a truly sandbox approach to beat-making. Switch into Perform mode for even more ways to create new grooves, and if that’s not enough, take advantage of Play’s powerful sequencer to control your outboard gear with a further 8 polyphonic MIDI tracks.

PLAY

Find your sound among over 3000 included samples and place it anywhere on the grid to start building your tracks. Easily adjust step parameters independently with familiar sample based controls at your disposal.

Make each track your own with 35 different play modes, Chance and Action Combo, Randomizer and Step Repeater functions. Stuck for inspiration? Utilize the Smart Fill option to automatically fill any area you choose with an entire beat, a random placement of steps, or even a Euclidean spread. Quickly move data around, such as Steps, Tracks, Track Pages, Variations, and Patterns, with simple selection and copy/paste controls. Keep it musical with scale filtering, allowing only notes within the selected scale to be outputted by the entire sequence.

PERFORM

Perform mode allows you to make non-destructive changes to your tracks, via performance effects including Tune, Filter, Overdrive, Rearranger, Reverb and many more. Live record automation or change individual step values on the fly and even record mono or polyphonic MIDI from an external controller or onboard keyboard. Customizable pattern chaining allows you to map out entire sequences anywhere on the grid and perform them live. Reverb, Delay, Sound Enhancer, Limiter, and Saturator master effects are included to spice up your entire mix. Instantly Save and Recall patterns – perfect for when things go wrong during a live performance.

SEQUENCE

8 internal audio tracks and 8 individual polyphonic MIDI tracks combine for powerful integration with your existing instruments. Over 30,000 track variations are available! That’s 128 Patterns holding 16 tracks, with each individual track holding up to 16 variations. Each track can benefit from independent lengths (1 to 64 steps), different BPM-related speeds, playback modes and even swing values. Perfect for polymetric and polyrhythmic sequences. Control your synths and drum machines on individual tracks with the ability to output a separate set of MIDI values per track.

Full MIDI capabilities with flexible MIDI CC mapping per track for the individual rotary knobs and you can connect an external controller for MIDI note input. Plus, you can output chords, arpeggios, program and bank changes, pitch bend, clock and much more.
