Hey friends!
Recently, Bento launched a really exciting new production workstation and I couldn’t help but notice how much it reminds me of Polyend’s design aesthetic.
As someone who owns the entire Polyend lineup, I think many of us would agree: while Polyend makes amazing, innovative instruments, there’s still a noticeable gap when it comes to working with samples and loops in a truly complete way. Even today, proper slicing and flexible loop options are missing and that feels like a missed opportunity.
But honestly, it’s both frustrating and exciting at the same time.
Frustrating because we know what’s missing but exciting because we know what Polyend is capable of. Their track record is incredible: they’ve built instruments that are not only beautiful, but also creative and deeply inspiring. Every device has a strong identity, focused on a clear purpose and that’s a strength. But it’s also why we still don’t have that one ultimate all-in-one Polyend production machine.
What I dream of is a Pro desktop Polyend workstation a portable studio that brings together the best of what Polyend has already created. I want proper audio inputs and outputs, full sampling capabilities, all of the synth engines, a powerful processor, big internal memory maybe even a version with a built-in speaker for true portability.
To me, that would be the next evolution - the ultimate expression of everything Polyend stands for .
It’s time not just for another sequencer, tracker, groovebox, or synth - but for a truly legendary, all-in-one music machine. (Although let’s be honest: the Tracker already is legendary in its own right!)
There aren’t many truly complete portable studios out there - maybe MPC, Maschine+, or the MC-707 - but a Polyend version would be something really special.
What do you think?
P.S.
At least working towards supporting samples and loops would be an excellent decision for the company’s development.
