Polyend Drums is a hybrid analogue and digital drum machine that combines true analogue synthesis, digital sound generation, advanced sequencing, and performance-focused workflow in a single instrument. Designed for both studio production and live performance, it pairs four analogue drum voices with a flexible digital engine, deep modulation capabilities, and a powerful 8-track sequencer. At the core of the analogue architecture are dual SSI2130 oscillators, SSI2140 multimode filters, and SSI2164 VCAs, delivering punchy, dynamic drum synthesis with extensive shaping potential. Each voice also incorporates analogue noise generation and a digital oscillator, allowing sounds to move well beyond traditional drum machine territory. The result is an instrument capable of everything from classic analogue percussion and synthetic drums through to evolving textures, melodic sequences, and highly detailed electronic sound design. Hybrid Voice Architecture Each voice combines analogue and digital sound generation elements including: - 2 × SSI2130 oscillators - SSI2140 multimode filter - SSI2164 VCA - Analogue noise source - Digital oscillator Extensive modulation is provided via: - 8 independent LFOs - 29 LFO waveforms This architecture allows deep sound design while maintaining the immediacy and character associated with analogue drum synthesis. Sequencer The integrated sequencer is designed for both pattern-based composition and full song creation. Features include: - 8 tracks - Up to 64 steps per pattern - 48-song arrangement mode - Real-time recording - Parameter locks - Micro-timing - Step conditions - Probability - Random generators - Euclidean sequencing - Beat generation tools Every parameter can be automated directly within the sequencer, enabling highly detailed and evolving patterns. Performance Workflow Polyend Drums includes a range of tools designed for live performance and improvisation. Features include: - X0Y morphing fader - Instant fill triggering - Quick pattern recall - Quick kit recall - Track mutes - Real-time level metering The X0Y fader allows smooth transitions and parameter morphing between performance states, making it particularly effective for live arrangement and hands-on manipulation. Effects Processing A comprehensive effects section provides both insert and send processing options. Features include: - 10 sequenceable insert effects - 2 send buses - 52 send effects - Master 8-band EQ - Master compressor - Sidechain compression Effects can be integrated directly into patterns and performances, adding movement, variation, and mix control without requiring external processing. Audio & Connectivity Polyend Drums provides extensive connectivity for studio integration and multi-track recording. Features include: - 32-bit float internal processing - 96kHz processing engine - 24-bit / 96kHz converters - Stereo main outputs - 8 individual outputs - MIDI In - MIDI Out - MIDI Thru - USB-C connectivity The eight individual outputs allow separate processing, mixing, and recording of individual voices when working with external hardware or DAW-based setups. Construction Built around a robust aluminium enclosure with premium hardware throughout, Polyend Drums is designed for long-term studio and stage use. Features include: - Single-piece aluminium chassis - Custom metal knobs - Small-batch manufacturing - Professional-grade construction As well as the silver finish, the Polyend Drums is also available in black finish.
