You win best intro on the internet, what a sick little clip man! EZ sub, just for that alone! Great vid otherwise too, cheers :)

Also from memory in performance mode select tracks, apply filter movement to all at once via knob. Leave performance mode and values return to what they were.

It is my favourite drum machine. Gets you out of the boring zone so fast.

Just so you know, all of the performance mode items are available outside of performance mode. They have been talking about allowing recording of the performance mode, but at this point, it's just a rumor.

Really excited to see how you end up pairing Play & Octatrack! I'm planning on running my Play thru Akai Force in a similar manner to leverage the FX. Would suggest giving the knob double tap a try, it's super convenient for navigation once you get the hang of it and figure out how to avoid accidental touches 🤣

Double tap master volume to stop all sounds.

THANK YOU!

The save pause is only when saving via file. You can tap the save on the keys on the right and it saves the state to your project without stopping playback.

For me, Digitakt still wins. Play has only an A/D amp envelope and no filter envelope. Also no headphone out, they really missed an opportunity connection-wise. On the back there is plenty of space for 8 individual outs, that would be killer. Also no separate power input. If you want to use USB MIDI, you have to power it from there.

You can use all knobs, eg filter, in performance mode too, so you can gradually change effects

I LOVE my Play, I make stuff on it I would never make on an Elektron box, but I miss an audio input in comparison to a Digitakt. Not for sampling, but for gluing and side chaining a mix. It begs to be the centerpiece and running external audio through the performance FX would make it so much better.

sick introoo

Splice does the XO plugin for $5/mo rent to own. Definitely worth the price of half a burrito

21:08, Hey maybe you should make a video about the mastering plugins you use. I also exclusively play with hardware, and the only thing I use a DAW for is mastering the final tracks.

I always boogie to the intro

I'm going to sell my squarp hapax to get the polyend play. It's gonna give me so much more fun and creativity.

I hope someone told you that you can move all sounds to scales and pick the scale in settings.

You mean outside of the global settings?

Someone knows how to make a sample drone in the Polyend play?

You cant set loop points so the only route is too load a sample into the play that is the length you want

What are some use cases for getting Play over Octatrack, and vice versa?

@EZBOT_

Жыл бұрын

I wouldn’t really use one over the other, the Octatrack is a device I pair with my other machines like the Play. I think the Play is a faster drum machine in terms of how fast you can make a production.

I really like the concept of Poly Play, but, if I put random patters generators aside, I still think that Deluge is much more complete instrument. Issue with randomness, even if it's a 'variation' of a pattern, is that it will always sound random and, at best derivative. I don't see anything special in Poly Play as an instrument to compose music instead of 'generating' it, it looks like a rather basic sample player. Intrigued tho, I need to get my hands on one, maybe I'll change my mind p.s. if you ant to check interesting pattern generator plug-ins, I'd recommend trying out playbeat 3, loopmix and atlas. I use those for inspiration. Atlas for instance can take all your smple collection and generate beats/kits on the fly, try it with your sample from mars collection, and you will be surprised.

It all depends what you want from it. I had the Deluge put it against my mpc live, the live won and i sold the Deluge. I recently got the squarp hapax for it's pattern generator and Euclidean to spark idea's and sequence all my hardware synths and Mpc. It took way to many attempts to generate anything musical. For me the polyend will get results way quicker for what i want. Time is precious.
