by far the best demo youtube video on the polyend synth.

As others have said, this is the best video I’ve seen on this piece of gear. I’ve owned it for a few weeks, and your tutorial really unlocked the fun for me. Thanks!

Mine turned up yesterday and having so much fun. Love the video but so much going on with the menus i think i need more of a newbie tutorial! Keep up the good work much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻

[mojodrum]

Best tutorial l’ve seen so far your knowledge and understanding of this device takes it to another level. Hoping for more videos on the synth Ty.

Fantastic Demo as Always 👌 This Polyend Synth Sounds Fantastic and looks cool and easy to use 👍 really impressive 🤩 🙌

In love with this synth. Got any scenes or presets to share? :] Also you don't need to go into grid to change octaves. Just hold down one (or more for combos) of the synth buttons below the screen and while holding turn the main encoder by the screen to change octaves. You can also do this with the C1, C2, C3 knobs as well. Hold one or more buttons below the screen and turn one of those knobs to control more than 1 synth at a time.

I just got mine 2 weeks ago. It did not impress straight out the box. While waiting for Zzounds to respond with my request to return it, I played it every night before bed. I canceled the return request. It’s a keeper. It has that ambient sound I’m looking for R&B. I think it would go great with cinema music producers. Excellent for creating sound FX for any occasion.

the 1.3 update is NUTS ... worth a revisit for sure !

Tomorrow it will be one week since my Polyend Synth was delivered and man what a perfect purchase . Watched some reviews and was blown away three synths at once next day I ordered one 3 days later it was here. I love this thing for me it's perfect.

[shearfury]

I medically want one! Lol. I'm purchasing one. I have a few small analog synth and this would be perfect for creating the scene and then just improvise around it. I like the ability to change keys and really set up your scene the way you want it.

While i'm not a fan of the sound (you know, typical thin high-resy RPI sound) BUT the price and the visual style is everything here. Also i'ma big fan of the colour pads (after long years with Launchpads i play on pads better than on regular keyboard) and for sure i'm gonna play the hell out of this pad keyboard! It's like a dream come true! I will absolutely use it as a controller for my analog synthesizers. This one is a must buy for me. Props to Poly dudes not making in 899 or something.
Also once again best presentation on YT coz of the good music you make! Thanks bro

I used this live recently. loading scenes on the fly was very nice. I just named them _01... etc to put them at the top of the list, building a setlist. Sounded great live.

[SenorBiloba]

Great video. What’s that desktop visualizer you have?? That is so dope.

[AdamLADN]

What’s that audio spectrum thingie you have in the background?

[krs]

Love your scenes! Are you planning to share them at some point?

[wendelynmusic]

Just bought mine. This really helps. Can't wait until it shows up. Make a video showing off the sequencer. I want to know how that works since this is a unique synth.

[SonicVibe]

Does this box suffer from the software issues of there other boxes ?

[mklschwrtz]

Seriously considering one of these along with the coming Behringer LM Drum. I think that would be an awesome little setup to have at home!
