Polyend Synth - feedbacks

Hello the community.

After several months, here is the result of my reflections. Tell me what you think:

  • Why is there not access to all filters? On some presets, the limitation is too strict
  • why can’t we have a function to listen to the sequence? Either it’s good, or we must redo everything, not practical…
  • a compression effect would be top as well as an EQ
  • for my taste, the synthesis engines sound too identical (except GRAINS and PWM)
  • when audio by usb!!!

I hope that Polyend reserves us some nice updates.

I am super happy with the Synth. TBH ordering it, was afraid it might sounds too thin like other usb synths - not the case at all. Pad grid and the whole synth architecture are great too! I took it on stage after 2 days of playing with it, that’s how confident I was with the machine :smiley:

Some of my thoughts/improvements:

  • Scale per synth, giving a flexibility to have one engine on a chromatic scale
  • Display incoming externam midi notes on the pads
  • Sequencer - ability to edit steps
  • Parameter automations? tried with DAW and Octatrack but its clumsy, the whole UI becomes laggy and was not able to use parameters on the synth afterwards
  • Better sample management
  • Custom INT presets, just because Key tracking on filer 100% is always too much for me - could be part of the filter improvements. Env tracking on it is different from other synths too, just a few % will have filter almost fully open

Anyways, going back to play with it
