I think Bad Gear episodes should be considered high art and they have to be stored in some digital museum for the future people. For Uli's sake, just look at the production level, wording, music, structure. This is how it's done, future kids! Florian raised the bar for everyone and i hope other people will follow suit.

I bet that if Polyend was more predatory and released the Play+ with another name and without the option to upgrade, saying it's a new version instead of a revised version, nobody would've batted an eye. I mean, just take a look at TE: people complained, but they were also happy because the old OP-1 was going to become cheaper lol In any case, I understand the frustration the OG owners might've felt, but the whole toxic debacle was unnecessary. On another note, great video! Loved the last track.

@@vangoghsseveredear Yeah, around 1 year later, I think.That's why I believe if it had another name and no upgrade path, people wouldn't even care, and would probably be happy about the price drop on the normal Play and not worry about resale value, like the OP1-Field did with the original OP-1.

I have the DB-01 and I am disappointed. The sound isn't bad, the controls are a bit worse. But the MIDI implementation is practically non-existent. You get clock in, note on, note off, mod wheel hard-coded to filter cutoff, and pitch bend. That's it! It could have been a MIDI or modular powerhouse if even some of the synthesis functionality was exposed. But it isn't. So yeah. Do it!

Bought the "vintage Play" as soon as it was available, so def triggered by this launch, but have to say I'm extremely glad I upgraded. Luckily found someone selling it for dirt cheap, so my "upgrade" cost was significantly less than $400 💪 new synths are nice, can't wait till performance mode can be used on them/midi, this thing will be 💯 then

This is one of the first pieces of gear you've done where I have some experience. I had the original Play. I found it very frustrating to work with- same issues with real time record, double click buttons, channel assignments didn't seem to stick... my main issue was that there is no poly per midi track meaning you have to chew up tracks if you want to record your own chord voicings. I got a Deluge new with OLED but I did it primarily because I saw how generous they were to upgrade people's existing machines for a very low price and the open sourced firmware. I do miss the velocity sensitive pads on both but the Deluge is a complete joy to work with because it behaves... graphic sample editing on the matrix- yes. Regarding Ben... I just wonder what the hell is wrong with people. He had an opinion. Disagree and walk away. Threatening the man? WTF?

As an early adopter, my beef with the “upgrade” was that IMHO play needed several other improvements more than it needed synth engines or stereo. Ideally the replacement to a new more powerful CPU should have unlocked significant changes that could have been more of a game changer. It very much feels like the release of “the thing we meant to make all along” at the expense (literally) of early adopters. Yes there is butthurt. But that said, I was hoping for a completely different set of improvements. As a user I wanted to see significantly expanded per track, per step, FX routing and layering options. Multiple different FX beyond the global reverb and delay flavors. True LFOs including rate and shape with routing options to control multiple per track or per step parameters like filters, panning, and FX. Midi delays or trigger stutter to allow for some performance capability on the Midi lanes as well as the sample based audio side. Synth engines while a cool addition comes at the expense of the Midi tracks. If you were adding a beefy chip would it have been possible to have 3 pages of 8 tracks? Samples, internal synths, and 8 external midi tracks? Its a very cool groove box, but it still has limitations that could have been addressed if you were planning a chip upgrade. My biggest concern now is that there will never be an OS update to the original play because subsequent OS updates to play+ might be incompatible with the original chip. We didn’t really need stereo samples as much as you needed more and better stereo effects to color the mono samples.

This new Plus it's better, although the best feature I think it has is that you can get the original WAY cheaper, as it's a really fun machine... Anyway, if you are looking for a portable DAW in a box, it's the Deluge with community firmware, IMHO. BTW Florian, you're videos are fucking awesome.

I bought the Polyend Play about a couple months before the Plus came out. Although I would have liked the additional features, I mostly bought the Play for its ability to easily randomize and mash up drum beats. I do wish that the Play Plus had been announced before its release, though. Kudos for the shots from Lifeforce in the last jam. I just recently saw that movie for the first time, and regret that it took me 35+ years to see it. :)

I looked at the OG play but was put off by the lack of polyphony, sample editing and the tracker suited my needs better, was thinking of pairing with a hapax or oxi, but since I couldn’t find a cheap Yamaha RS7000 with an expansion board (f’ing hen’s teeth) settled on a cheap RM1x with the tracker mini. You still haven’t done the DX200, difficult to find now at a reasonable price. Also 90s and 00s rack multi-effects units need a roasting, not having much joy in finding Alesis/Lexicon/Boss/Roland/Digitech/Yamaha 2nd hand units which is a surprise.

I would love to see the Tracker Plus model. I have the original Tracker, and I really love the UI because it's super-intuitive and it's faster to work with than a lot of other grooveboxes. It would be cool to see all these synths from the Play+ on the Tracker. And also a bit more polyphony (or at least ability to play chords on one track) would be nice.

Another great instalment! The Play, and now the Play+ seem pretty damn good. I want one; it would make an excellent centerpiece, sequencing both its internal sounds and external gear. I can see why its release rubbed some people the wrong way, but it's kinda cool that owners of the original can upgrade for a cheaper price. It's also a shame that certain people's comments made Benn pull the plug on his gear reviews. That wasn't cool.
@DankePlace
@DankePlace 11 ай бұрын
If you want it as a sequencer, forget the + version as the internal synth engines use the external 8 tracks. I got the non + version and strictly use it as a sequencer, it's the most powerful sequencer I have used and by far the cheapest for what it can do.
