Polyend Play: My favorite groovebox gets a Piano Roll update :)

[dallas-cole]

I personally asked for this to their support team.

You were an obvious choice for Polyend. Your way with samples is both imaginative and instinctive and I can hardly believe the beauty of that mandolin pluck in transposition.

I've seen so many videos about the Play and about the update but you have taken a personal view which is somehow more enlightening than any of them. It is entirely positive because I can imagine that a man who has made great music with a 1950's tape recorder and a Japanese toy is not going to gripe about loading times and memory limitations.

Thank you for taking it on. Most informative.

Yeah! Polyend is doing great things. I just bought Tracker (my first piece of musical gear ever), and while totally in over my head, really enjoying learning. Mandolin instrument sounds fantastic, looking forward to experimenting. Thanks David!

Looks a lot like the Deluge now. Which is a good thing. It is very intuitive as well.

Brilliant video! I couldn't get my head around the piano roll UX, and this totally cleared it up for me. Thanks!

[Snohchild]

the editing style is soooo fricken cool! always love seeing your videos!

[NoirEtBlancVie]

Super excited for this update!

The Play is the only colored square Groovebox I’ve ever truly enjoyed.

Thank you for showing how to do it ☺️

Awesome update! I haven’t really touched my Play in a long time, but this will definitely rekindle my interest.

That thing is SOOO COOOOL!! I can just inagine what it can do with it to open up my creativity

[Soma..]

Just wanted to say i found you’re channel randomly and love everything you have posted! Definitely inspires me to pick up a synth but however I’m pretty timid to begin/ have no idea of were to begin or even pick up because all of it is amazing! Hopefully i break out of that shell. Continue this amazing content!

Great video! You might like the Optigan, its a pretty interesting instrument from the early 70's that uses optical discs to play samples along with just being an organ. (And has seen a small resurgence with some of the samples being used in a few modern video game OST's and some bands ect.)

I always loved my Volca Sample, it’s what started the music making bug. You can just sit down with it and it will always inspire you to do something you haven’t thought about. It’s fun but also very very limited. This looks like everything I loved about the Sample. It’s simple yet so much deeper and more complex while maintaining the fun accessibility and immediacy which is really hard to achieve. I said to myself a while ago that I will solely use Ableton and iOS to make music but this device gets me interested in hardware again. Thank you for this video.
