I'm colourblind and I cannot see the difference between the blue and purple pads

I’m kinda screwed. The unit is arriving on Monday and I don’t see any way to change the colour on the manual.

From all the videos, the blue and the purple appear the same to me. Anyone with the same type of colour blindness can speak on how it is in person?

Yes, I’m colourblind too and find it very very difficult.

That’s a really unfortunate choice of colours. I literally thought it was 2 colors until I started watching the tutorials.

I hope the team sees this and can address it on a Firmware update.

Po-ta-to

Same here, and I created a wish (linked in this thread) more than a year ago about it, so unfortunately, I would be surprised if it ever happens. Vote for it though to increase visibility.

Sorry. I’ll explain a little bit more. Under the yellow light of my studio it’s difficult to differentiate some grid layouts. Sometimes for me scenes only have two colours.

For me as a attentive reader the whislist system is flawed as a whole.

There are 3 essential categories:

  1. Bugs. These are reported by users and this is great. Hundreds of people see more than a few devs. Nice to catch corner cases / race conditions. The devs should address reported bugs asap, servere ones even as a hotfix. In reality, only a few get fixed after a long amount of time and no other fixes are included alongside the logged ones on this forum. Is there no internal testing?
  2. QoL improvements. These are no feature requests and dont belong to the wishlist! This one here is a QoL. Also, Polyend devs should also find some of them on their own, low effort
  3. Wishlist. These are voted and are user based. But:
    Where is the intrinsic effort of the devs? Why do they not come up with new ideas, bugfixes and QoL also? If no one reports something, nothing would be improved?

I think this whole system needs an overhaul.
And perhaps more dev crew members :wink:

Fun fact: It was green before they released it. I think they should have left it as green, yellow, blue. You can see the proto type at 0:18 in Emily’s video.
