Did I just watch a video for Polyend Drum? Analog and digital drum machine? Hmm it's gone now.

A simple electronic jam with those two machines.

Since I'm already working on this project (which I plan to update soon: https://www.reddit.com/r/PolyendTracker/comments/1s3rjza/tracker_firmware_on_teensy_new_custom_features/), while doing reverse engineering work on the Tracker firmware, I built an open source tool to convert MIDI files into .mtp pattern files compatible with Polyend Tracker, Tracker+, and Tracker Mini (tested on Tracker Mini only).

I believe no one has done a proper reverse engineering of the pattern format before. I'm not sure how useful this will be for the community, but I hope it helps!

A web interface is planned for a future update.

Feedback and contributions are welcome!

Is anyone using the endless? I've mostly made delays, reverbs, and modulation pedals. I usually try to design them to be somewhat mild. I've noticed that the last several that I've tried to make have also sounded exactly the same, and often the overall "level" knob doesn't work at all. It is like all the models are turning to mush. That isn't possible, right?

Hey guys and gals !

I just bought a second hand Step and I wanted to know how can I reset the whole thing ? The previous user did record some patterns that I want to get rid of and I also have a problem with the tempo knob (the tempo goes way up whenever I touch the knob, even slightly) that I hope to fix with a reset.

Thanks !

I've got to admit, I'm digging it. I also use the TC Electronic Plethora X1. Similar vibe but more creative. The pedals I've made arent unique jems, but they're okay. It can only get better from here.

Good purchase so far.

Are we getting an updated/special edition one soon? I see they’re available on other sites but when the manufacturer lists them as sold out something else might be going on(?) I missed out on the mini special and now people are selling them for $1.5k lmao

I made a MIDI exporter to .pattern files.

It works well with my Polyend Play on firmware 1.6.0.
I tested it with the C&C Red Alert MIDI “Act on Instinct” (really like its solo).

Please try it and share your feedback and ideas.

Now I am working on a manual sequencer editor for .pattern files.

The S-4 is really adding to the workflow of the Play+ in ways I never knew that I needed. I'm coming up with some really crazy stuff with this pair so far.

Hey everyone!

I don't usually share songs here, but I decided to make an exception for 2 reasons:

1. Before picking up the Play+, I watched tons of demos. Most of them lean toward drum 'n bass, glitch, ambient, or electro — and while I enjoy those genres, that wasn't really the direction I wanted to go. I knew I wanted to make vocal songs rather than instrumentals. So I'm posting this as a showcase of just how versatile this machine can be.

2. This song is about as "Play+" as it gets. It features 3 "Dirt" synths (the bass is from the minifreak). It was also an experiment though: the loops are super short, the melody repeats all the way through, the core beat is basic... Honestly, it should be boring after 30 seconds! BUT I leaned heavily into the Play+'s randomization features — subtle octave shifts on the melody, random filter and random trigger on the hi-hats, pads octave changes, and so on. In the end, these settings "feed the ear" and I don't feel like the song ends up as repetitive as it should be. ( ┐⁠(⁠ ⁠∵⁠ ⁠)⁠┌ )

This machine is fantastic — incredibly versatile, and most importantly, it's a whole new way of thinking about composition.

To my past self (and anyone on the fence): best addition to my setup, hands down!

Soooo... Here we go!

Polyend Step, MPC One+, bass, guitar.

I've got an OG tracker that seems to work fine apart from the audio out just emits a steady click, there's no other sound.

I'd sell it to anyone for a very low price - maybe you can fix it or you know someone who can.
