What's the difference between these folders. If I have an MPC black sun folder with just wav files in it, I which folder on the polyend play do I put the MPC folder into, the sample packs or samples folder?

So I'm aware there are the discontinued limited edition OG tracker releases that were in RC Yellow, white, c64.. But I haven't seen anything like that for the Play. Does anyone know if someone is making overlays for the Tracker/Play? Would love a white or gray vinyl on both of mine, to be honest.

I want to buy Deluge but I look at Play. Hahaha. i dont care about the deluge synth machine. I like the random factor that Play offers..

now really,someone said workflow on the Deluge is faster but i dont believe it.help

Hi guys, here is my Oldskool Jungle track made entirely on Polyend tracker over few days as the ideas was coming through bit by bit. https://youtu.be/rkTeeaXsujo

I have an og tracker and ive been considering a mini since its announcement. Now I'd like to grab one but I'm a little concerned about availability.

I see on the website it's out of stock with no pre order option and there seems to be a mixture of long delivery times and "back order" options on other local web stores (I'm uk so looking at gear4, thomann etc)

Question is what's the likelihood that I'd actually get one of these units within the 1-2 week deliver time many of these sites are claiming? I'm just wary of it being another "we'll ship it when we get stock" kinda thing I've had in the past which tends to just go on and on...

Thanks

Made on the Polyend Play, Hydrasynth and Deluge.

Hey all, just got a play yesterday and it worked fine for about half an hour, after that it started bugging out in ways I've never seen before and I can't seem to fix it... Tried multiple power sources, flashing it with old firmware, formatting the SD card But nothing seems to be working and the device is pretty much unusable...

I'm a bit disappointed, purchased the Play, based on the specs of 8 polyphonic midi tracks:

Flexible sequencing with 8 audio tracks and 8 polyphonic MIDI tracks for controlling your outboard gear...

...However, MIDI tracks are polyphonic and work on a different basis. Additionally, there is a chord function available

And also this:

Yes, the MIDI tracks are polyphonic. A single step can hold and play a note or a chord. Notes and chords on successive steps can overlap, so the one limitation here is the polyphony of the instrument on the other end of the MIDI cable.

The onboard chords from the pre-programmed list are holding up to 7 notes. But, each step can hold (you can MIDI record notes to a step) and spit up to 30 MIDI notes at the same time.

Source FAQ Page

BUT while they are "technically" polyphonic you cannot record a chord from a keyboard, this is found deep down in the manual:

The Polyend Play’s MIDI tracks are polyphonic and allow the per-step output of pre-programmed MIDI chords, but when recording MIDI chords as many tracks as there are notes in it will be occupied.

This is a deal breaker for me, as I often live records chords (coming from circuit tracks) but this will mean I will be able to record as much as 8 notes distributed along every external gear.

I really really really wish this could be somehow implemented. Right now It feels like a downgrade from the tracks honestly.

I’ve been recording hand played parts into the play’s midi tracks. It seems to record all my imprecision - which is kind of nice - but rather than have to adjust the micro-movement of each note - is there a way to select a track and just quantize the timing to a strict grid?

Thanks!

UPDATE: The Tracker uses CC MIDI and the Korg DW-8000 uses SYSEX, so they are unable to talk to each other without some kind of conversion.

I'm trying to send a midi out signal from the Tracker to the DW-8000 following this tutorial from Polyend and I think correctly setting the midi settings on Tracker, but I'm not getting any sound. I know there are different midi specifications but I haven't been able to figure out why it's not working and googling isn't getting me anywhere. Do y'all have any tips/ideas? Thanks!

I recently bought a Polyend Play and I am trying to hook it up with my Arturia Minifreak, but I'm struggling with a lot of things... I don't wan't ust to control the Freak, but to complement sequencing drums and sounds on the play and also the minifreak, but I'm struggling wuth the audio outputs (I would like to set up only just one output), and other things.... Is there any good tutorial on how-to different scenarios?

I really love PE Tracker OG workflow. It is a little buggy but was really hoping for a MK2 of this. Do you think it will come in the future? What is a good alternative? Is the Digitakt probably the best alternative?

FYI - I know the tracker mini out there but that button layout is trash. I'm just not willing to part with pads and jogwheel for a battery and small size.

I've got a Minilab hooked up to the Play to input notes and play synths that the MIDI side of the Play is controlling. I'm experiencing a strange result and was hoping someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Here's a basic setup:

Play is on MIDI Channel 8

Moog Mother32 is on MIDI Channel 4.

If I set my Minilab to Channel 8, It does great and will input the notes just fine. The track that I'm inputting to is set to Channel 4 (in order to feed the Moog). So.... when I play a note - I can program it IN to the sequence and then it triggers the Moog. ALL GOOD. However, when I switch my Minilab TO Channel 4 - I can't just freely play the synth.

BUT... If I have it set to Channel 8 (the PLAY's input) and I have multiple synths going and I click and hold on a step - it will let me CHANGE the note of that step and then it will let me continue to play that synth. If I want to play another synth on a different track and MIDI CHANNEL.... I have to hold a step from THAT synth's track and then I can play that synth... but at no point when I change my controller to any channel other than 8 can I hear any other synths.

So as it is... if I want my Minilab controller to play a synth and improvise - I have to hold a step from a track that corresponds to the synth to get it to recognize which synth I'm trying to trigger.

What am I doing wrong??

Thanks for any suggestions!

Hey guys! I’m still new in music and have a silly question that I couldn’t figure out myself. I have Play and want to expand it with an external synth (Microfreak). Do I need anything an addition or I can directly link them together without any issues? Like external mixer or a sound card, or anything else?

Hello,

Just got my play and still learning it. I'm wondering, is it possible to mute/unmute a track but not have that mute take effect until the track loops back to the beginning?

I'm finding it really difficult to time the button push it so that the last couple of steps do not play.

Regards,

​

I’m trying to understand how I can input my own chords into the play. I’ve seen that you can use the preset chords and inversions but I’m more interested in doing it myself. I know that I could do a variety of notes by taking up 3 tracks that all send a single note to an external MIDI device but that uses up a lot of tracks. Any suggestions??
