### What is the problem? I hope we get more effect options. We can do 3 right now, but give us more and give us the option to load any 3 that we want. We’re talking about this over in beetlecrab tempera discord as well and i think would be a great idea for Polyend Synth too! As TUAN user said over there, which makes sense and can apply here too “Just 3 slots, but an array of various effects to choose from (and perhaps order them in the way you want). Adding new effects in the roster to choose from doesn’t eat up the available processing juice this way (unused FX isn’t loaded in, and you stick to the ‘max 3 effects’) but it does give you more options.” ### What should this feature achieve? Giving us a broader palette of effects to design with! ### Are there any workarounds? Nope ### Any links to related discussions? > [@Add some Grit: Overdrive/Distortortion/Bit- and Sample-Rate-Reduction](https://backstage.polyend.com/t/add-some-grit-overdrive-distortortion-bit-and-sample-rate-reduction/16291): > > What is the problem? All the Synth can distort is the phase, so it sounds relatively soft and smooth overall. As a user with a wide range of emotions, I’d like to add some grit to my sound, so that I can better express myself through my music. What should this feature achieve? Fuck up every sound easily, and a lot, too, if desired. Some considerations: Sample Rate Reduction and Bit Rate Reduction are simple effects, and are best placed before a filter, because then the filter can be used to … > [@Select Effect Algorithms for Effects 1-3 (per Scene)](https://backstage.polyend.com/t/select-effect-algorithms-for-effects-1-3-per-scene/16262): > > What is the problem? As a producer who loves delays, I’d like to be able to to select for each scene which effect algorithm to use for send effects 1-3, so that I can use 3 different delays. What should this feature achieve? A new entry “Effects” in the Menu that allows for selecting which effect algorithm to use for each send effect slot in the current scene. (because it appears that most configuration related to scenes just sits in the main menu, with the exception of program change mapping)… ### Any references to other products? Many other units have more effects to choose from. ---
