Let the speculation begin
Play++
Midi sequencer
I’m gonna take a punt at a 25 key portable midi controller, those black buttons that are synonymous with the tracker/play products appear to be arranged in a piano layout below the display.
Yes!!
I hope it’s a new play / tracker type device ![]()
or a new medusa with onboard fx ![]()
As much as I prefer a new Tracker, I think this device is something else altogether
The Tracker line does need some love though, it’s been a good while now
I’m probably wrong and theres more to it, but that display doesnt scream Play+/Synth type visual feedback, so if it is a new groovebox type device, i’m curious what it is gonna display/do, I cant imagine being able to view complex synth/drum/slicing parameters on it? especially when you compare the displays of the mess/step pedals even, but if Roland can still develop devices on that archaic 7 segment display, then who knows?
but i’m gonna has a guess it’s something simpler in design?
I agree. hopefully that’s just an extra mini screen for bpm or somethin ![]()
1. a new larger-format Polyend hardware centered around sampling, sequencing performance rather than another Tracker/Play variant. Maybe a Seq+. Knowledge from play tracker and synth.
2 groovebox leveled up based on what has been learned.
3 do not think pedal or ++ devices the ++ are community desires that provide a good laugh
4 something we don’t think we need until we see it
The other clue potentially is their previous IG post where this will be released. Gamescon.
this sounds like something new and cool!
Ha! Fun to speculate. ![]()
Toss my hat in the ring for a Seq+ that composes, arranges and controls your hardware instruments from one place.
It’s #4, isn’t it?![]()
I really hope that Monday Polyend will release another self contained machine with more capacity for samples per project. They are experts in that field with tracker and play, awesome products, but I miss more memory on polyend play for example. I’m not really interested in pedals or other devices, only machines in which you can make full songs.
Maybe not this time but who knows in a future…
A keyboard addon for the Trackers
Vitamins to boost the responsiveness of the Polyend Play+ ? ![]()
Would be awesome (for Mini, in particular), but it has been sold out for quite some time w/o any indication that it will go back on sale ![]()
Turns out I was sort of correct!
Well, THAT wasn’t on my bingo card!!
Yeah, think it’s a lot of what people expected. I look at this and think “Damn, why didn’t I think of that!?!”. Part of the Polyend charm ![]()
