SUPERBOOTH 2024: Polyend - Tracker+
video upload by sonicstate
"At Superbooth 2024, Mitch from Polyend showcased the new Tracker Plus*, an upgraded version of the original *Tracker with improved hardware and additional MIDI and synth tracks. The Tracker Plus features four synth engines, stereo sampling, and a Perk drum machine, offering users a wide range of creative possibilities. The Play Plus will also receive updates, including the *Perk *drum machine and MIDI perform mode, while the Play will have MIDI perform mode. The all-analog stereo compressor with stereo sidechain through is the first hardware effect from *Polyend*, providing users with versatile compression options.
Mitch demonstrated the capabilities of the drum machine and the refined patch editor, allowing users to easily access and control various parameters. The synth and MIDI side offer users the ability to sequence effects and macros, providing a unique and customizable sound experience. The updates for the Tracker Plus are available now, with additional updates expected to roll out in the summer.

Minimal Polyend Play Sequence + Projection Mapping

"Recently got myself a #PolvendPlay and so far, it's a really inspiring
instrument. This simple sequence is made with one stock sample only, with a pinch of chance and randomness added. Served with projection mapped visuals onto its grid to accompany the smooth minimal feeling. Enjoy."

Thinking about the Polyend Play+ // Are its synths worth the extra cost?
video upload by Starsky Carr
"The Polyend Play+ has got Synths, Stereo and Audio over USB... but if that's not your bag could you save some cash by buying or sticking with the original ? What do the synths do? how do they work? what do they sound like? are they easy to use?
All answered in here... hopefully!
I look at the synth voices in some depth (not too much I hope) to demo what you can get from them and their overall tone, usefulness and playability. As a synth head I have to say I like them and think they're a worthy addition to Team Play."

Polyend Play: Diving into Randomize as idea generator
video upload by Paul Schilling
"One of the funnest features of this little magic machine are the Randomize and Chance functions.
In this video I apply different levels of Randomize to a classic TR-808 pattern and a well-known 70s groove and see what new musical and rhythmic ideas come out.
Really impressed with the Play+, the great sound quality, the carefully considered design decisions, and the overall feel of using it…the playfulness it invites. I’m barely scratching the surface of what this thing is capable of, but you have to start somewhere!"

Jam #1 of 2024: Dreadbox Erebus, Polyend Play+, Korg Volca Keys
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"

https://www.patreon.com/audiopilz
Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Polyend Play Plus. Is this updated version of the original Play groovebox and distant cousin to the Polyend Tracker worth the price of the hardware upgrade (which is $399). Is GearTube toxic AF??? Should you just keep the OG Play and add a few synths instead? Are early adopters of Play disappointed for a reason?
Thanks to Polyend for sending me a demo unit as a long term loan.

Is This The Weirdest Groovebox Ever? It's Definitely Fun
video upload by EZBOT
"In today's live stream we take a look at the Polyend Play +. The Play + is a generative sequencer and sample player with a built in 8 voice synthesizer that does things in a very unique way. Polarizing as some of the features may be, there is nothing like it on the market.
I've paired it with my Octatrack for and my performance template to take it for a test run to see how well it can improvise music on the fly.
