The Polyend Play+ is a 16-track sample and synth-based groovebox featuring multitimbral polyphonic synthesis, stereo sound architecture, and seamless USB audio connectivity. Enhanced Architecture for Expanded Capability Polyend has built upon the foundation of the original Play by upgrading its internal architecture, significantly boosting performance while preserving the compact and sleek form factor. This advancement enables a host of new features including stereo audio output, multitimbral synthesis engines, real-time performance enhancements, and USB audio streaming. Multitimbral Polyphonic Synth Engine Collection Play+ introduces multiple powerful synth engines, each offering distinct sonic characteristics. These engines are fully multitimbral and polyphonic, allowing simultaneous playback of different synthesiser voices across tracks. Users can instantly access a comprehensive library of professionally designed presets or fine-tune each engine using multi-macro controls for deep yet intuitive sound design. Synth Engines ACD replicates the sound of iconic single-oscillator monophonic analogue synthesisers, with lightning-fast response and modern enhancements. It delivers both vintage acid tones and forward-thinking textures. FAT emulates the warmth of vintage analogue hardware using three virtual oscillators and includes authentic transistor ladder filter variations, enabling thick basslines, lush pads, and dynamic leads. VAP offers a dual-oscillator virtual analogue polysynth with pulse width modulation and a flexible modulation matrix, ideal for evolving pads, textures, and ambient FX. WTFM employs a 2-operator FM synthesis approach powered by sweeping wavetable oscillators with a three-way feedback system, capable of producing both metallic harmonics and smooth ambient tones. Drum Synthesis with PERC The new PERC instrument introduced in firmware 1.1 brings extensive percussive capabilities to Play+. It features deep sound design potential with a wide selection of presets that cover classic drum machines such as the TR-808 and TR-909, as well as more experimental, glitch-influenced percussion. Stereo Audio Engine Play+ transitions from mono to true stereo audio, allowing for a wider and more immersive soundstage. The stereo capability enhances the clarity and depth of each track, adding nuance and spatial realism to complex arrangements. USB Audio Multitrack Recording Play+ supports seamless audio over USB, transmitting up to 14 stereo tracks independently to a connected DAW. This function facilitates detailed mixing, layering, and mastering with external effects or plug-ins, expanding creative flexibility in studio workflows. Upcoming Features and Integration Polyend has committed to continual development, with future updates promising a dedicated patch editor, enhanced perform modes for both synth and MIDI tracks, and additional synthesis engines to further extend the capabilities of Play+.
