Polyend Play midi controller and groovebox
Sequence - Perform - Play
Polyend Play is probably the most flexible and inspiring Groovebox ever. With over 3000 samples and 8-track sequencing, you can create direct beats and create your own beats using a variety of sequencing and variation tools. Pick and place your sounds anywhere on the matrix grid to create beats in a truly intuitive way. Switch to performance mode to create even more grooves, and if that's not enough, take advantage of Play's powerful sequencer to control your outboard gear with 8 additional polyphonic MIDI tracks.
