It must be update day everywhere! I had to update fractal am4, vp4 and fm9 today and now MESS
Mute tracks is very welcomed, thank you for that!
Was hoping to see a bit more to be honest for MESS first update, like effect randomization in each effect and more and sequencer to be fixed when changing effects would have been really nice. Maybe beta #2
Iâm liking the muted track option but not liking that whatever you mute in one preset carries over to another preset?
When changing presets, nothing should be muted on the preset until you mute them each time.
This needs to be fixed ASAP please. Or maybe a setup option if people prefer that way or not.

Can you mute tracks with midi and if so how?
-
Also what exactly is this for âUse the settings knob on the Main Screen for master volume control.â
I guess I donât understand itâs purpose. We already have input and mix, this extra output control doesnât seem to do anything different compared to input?
It was a requested feature to make gainstaging easier. Input gain will shape how various effects like shapers will respond to a signal where output gain boost the whole signal without changing the tone.
Will midi mute come later? Would definitely be a nice feature.
Also what about the first thing in my list? The muted tracks should not carry over to existing presets. When we change presets the mute states should be cleared but theyâre not. Can you all fix this please or make it an option in the setup. Maybe someone would like the mute tracks to carry over when changing presets, and others Iâm sure would prefer them not too.
Thank you guys at Polyend ! However itâs still missing the crucial ability to have a fixed sequence when changing effect, which is I believe a pretty obvious thing. Most sequencers have it as it makes the workflow so easier and experimenting so much more fun, so please please please Polyend make it a thing !
I think if it could be a nice option in the setup menu for allowing mutes to carry over to presets or not. I definitely would love the option for it to NOT carry over, but maybe sometimes it could be a cool thing to do between presets!
Amazing, thank you for the update Mitch and Polyend team! Glad to see the PolyEnd Mess won best multi effects pedal on the 2025 Emma Awards.
For next update: please add Midi bypass and Midi Engage for each preset, I think this would boost your sales for anyone who owns a Morningstar MC midi controller, you could ask Morningstar to do a video with a Polyend Mess, like they do with other brands, and boom, youâll see the Polyend mess sell like crazy. Midi, midi, midi, please, and also sequencer steps to not clear when changing effects when looking for the right effects (scrolling etc). Keep em coming, thanks a lot.
Thanks. One issue Iâm seeing: - with a 3 button footswitch (Digitech FS3X) - connected to exp jack via TRS - switches donât work. It keeps executing a âcreate a new patchâ behavior and moving to a random slot - no matter which button is pressed. Tried switching around the controls (next/prev is what I wanted) ⌠but no difference. I guess I could be doing something wrong here, butâŚ?
In all fairness, the FS3X is wired to work as a controller for specific Digitech products.
Button 1: Connects the Tip to the Sleeve (ground).
Button 2: Connects the Ring to the Sleeve (ground).
Button 3 (often referred to as âModeâ or âUp/Downâ): Connects both the Tip and the Ring to the Sleeve simultaneously
This isnât a standard andhas a history of hit and misses working with non-Digitech products, but that all depends on how the inputs and outputs are wired from different products.
Okay Brock, mutes reset now at loading a new preset. Config or changing this option is not possible, can only do one or the other so now it always resets.
Until smooth stepping is implemented, Iâm using it purely as a multi-FX unit. Thatâs just my opinion, and I may be wrong, but I think the team is sitting on a major improvement without realizing it. It would be a huge upgrade, and the value would skyrocket.
That said, for me itâs already good enough as a multi-FX.
#2. Depth control of the pitch shift or other params on certain effects (Warped Reverbs especially) being added to the currently ânot usedâ knobs. In other words, a bit more control over whatever effects have blank params.
#3. Swing, with % value. For swingy house music. Iâm just using 8th notes for swing stuff now, which is an okay workaround, but itâd be cool to be able to swing things like delays.
