video upload by Goth Jocks

"My first submission for #jamuary2024 Polyend Play Plus is providing all drums and sequencing the Korg Volca and Dreadbox Erebus. Also playing a few melodic samples and minimal use of the Play’s internal synths, which you can hear mostly at the beginning and end of the video.

Meris Mercury7 is in the the send of my mixer for some dub swells. Volca Keys is running through an Electro Harmonix Memory Man Deluxe and a Boss DC-2w chorus"

Polyend Play // Martin's Excellent Demo

video upload by Starsky Carr

"A Polyend Play demo from Martin at Polyend. I met the guys from Polyend at Superbooth 2022 and Martin was kind enough to demo the Play for me a coupe of times following an SD card failure. He was my first 'victim' on day one and first again on day 2!

It looks like a brilliant performance tool, the final part of this is a rather excellent performance from the man himself :)"

Polyend Play 1.2 Updates - Delay & Reverb tutorial and jam

video upload by Stazma

You can find additional posts on Polyend Play 1.2 here.

"Today we’re going for a few jams, all from different styles, mostly so I can show you some fun stuff about the two time based master fx of the Play: Delay and Reverb.

Since the new firmware 1.2 you can edit these effects (before only presets were available) and so you can play with those while your track is playing and record the results in your Daw for exemple.

Polyend Play + Eurorack jamming (IDM or something)

video upload by sucik

"Polyend Play is playing drums and sequencing all eurorack stuff via Polyend Poly 1:). Drums samples were also preprepared by me (sampled from Elektron A4)
Eurorack is responsible for all the melodies.
Play shines when it comes to sequencing. The fact that it's very simple and straghtforward + nice visual feedback (you can see all 8 tracks at once) boosts creativity."

SUPERBOOTH 2022 day 1 // Erica Synths Perkons & Syntrx II // Polyend Play

video upload by Dave Mech

"First time attending Superbooth and really loving the vibe so far. Very relaxed. This first day I took it easy and just played with a few things and explored the terrain. Here are the main things I checked out: Erica Synths Perkons (it's like it was created specifically for people lik me) and Syntrx II, and Polyend's newest creation called Play.

I'm just noodling with them but hopefully it will give you some idea of what they are capable of.

"Holes In The World" - Polyend Play and Eurorack - 110bpm

video upload by Electronisounds Audio

"Track Recording Date: 10/08/2022
Tempo: 110bpm
Key: D#minor

DETAILS:
Hybrid setup with Polyend Play as the main sequencer.
The Play is playing samples and also sending midi to all the gear on the desk.

ALL AUDIO is being fed into a 1010 Bluebox mixer/recorder where i'm mixing, doing some gentle EQ and compression, and recording the track. The track was then maximized in Izotope Ozone 9.

I then sync up the audio/video manually in my video editor: Luma Fusion on iPad.

Live performance with Polyend Play and Eurorack (Bassline, Manis Iteritas, Basimilus and Versio)

video upload by Thoow

"I was slightly carried away during this performance, so please excuse the length of the video :-)

I used the new Polyend Play as the main sequencer for my modular system and of course as a sample player / drum machine for all things percussive. The Play is extremely fun and comes with a lot of performance tricks - but mostly for the sample section, the Midi implementation is pretty standard, but allows a very flexible routing to different chanels (USB or Midi) even within one track.

In my little setup I send two of the midi tracks are running into the Intelijel Midi module and from there to Erica Synths Bassline and Noise Engineerings Manis Iteritas. The midi clock is also used to trigger Pamela and a couple of other devices that need a proper clock.

The main voices are then send into Imitor Versio and finally into FX aid.

Everything is recorded live into Ableton (that is also playing a very subtle pad across the whole piece, modulated with a couple of LFOs.)"

Live performance with Polyend Play, Vermona Perforumer MK2 and Vermona Mono Lancet

video upload by Thoow

"Sunday afternoon jam with the Polyend Play sequencing the Perfourmer and its smaller sibling, the Vermona Mono Lancet. Great to drive these two machines into gritty territory. All percussion is also sequenced from Play. I use six patterns to navigate through the track manually."
