Polyend Synth // the most FUN music gear of 2024?!

[@shearfury147]

I medically want one! Lol. I'm purchasing one. I have a few small analog synth and this would be perfect for creating the scene and then just improvise around it. I like the ability to change keys and really set up your scene the way you want it.

[@Glennsh]

Mine turned up yesterday and having so much fun. Love the video but so much going on with the menus i think i need more of a newbie tutorial! Keep up the good work much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻

[@lesloz19]

by far the best demo youtube video on the polyend synth.

[@devinbelangermusic]

Thank you so much!

[@mojodrum3215]

Best tutorial l’ve seen so far your knowledge and understanding of this device takes it to another level. Hoping for more videos on the synth Ty.

[@devinbelangermusic]

Thanks so much!

[@lawrencedb]

As others have said, this is the best video I’ve seen on this piece of gear. I’ve owned it for a few weeks, and your tutorial really unlocked the fun for me. Thanks!

[@devinbelangermusic]

That's what I'm here for! Enjoy!

[@yakiyaki849]

The best Polyend Synth tut. ; Sub 👌🏽

[@Jason_Drums_]

Fantastic Demo as Always 👌 This Polyend Synth Sounds Fantastic and looks cool and easy to use 👍 really impressive 🤩 🙌

[@devinbelangermusic]

@@Jason_Drums_ glad you enjoyed the demo man!

[@Jason_Drums_]

@MilesAwayOfficial Always do my friend 👌 🙏🏼

[@Gerald_Daniel]

...& the most fun to listen my dear! Happy holidays to you, your charming lady & to the possibly cutest cat on earth.

[@devinbelangermusic]

Happy holidays!

I just got mine 2 weeks ago. It did not impress straight out the box. While waiting for Zzounds to respond with my request to return it, I played it every night before bed. I canceled the return request. It’s a keeper. It has that ambient sound I’m looking for R&B. I think it would go great with cinema music producers. Excellent for creating sound FX for any occasion.

[@devinbelangermusic]

100%! it's funny, it totally took me a bit of time to gel with too. Glad you stuck with it, enjoy!

[@BrockDavisson]

In love with this synth. Got any scenes or presets to share? :] Also you don't need to go into grid to change octaves. Just hold down one (or more for combos) of the synth buttons below the screen and while holding turn the main encoder by the screen to change octaves. You can also do this with the C1, C2, C3 knobs as well. Hold one or more buttons below the screen and turn one of those knobs to control more than 1 synth at a time.

[@MatthewChristianMurray]

What’s this, now?

[@djkanyon]

While i'm not a fan of the sound (you know, typical thin high-resy RPI sound) BUT the price and the visual style is everything here. Also i'ma big fan of the colour pads (after long years with Launchpads i play on pads better than on regular keyboard) and for sure i'm gonna play the hell out of this pad keyboard! It's like a dream come true! I will absolutely use it as a controller for my analog synthesizers. This one is a must buy for me. Props to Poly dudes not making in 899 or something. Also once again best presentation on YT coz of the good music you make! Thanks bro

[@devinbelangermusic]

Totally agree! And thank you for the kind words! Enjoy your synth! 😃✌️

[@djkanyon]

@@devinbelangermusic will do! bro i hope you'll do some more music on this one!

[@jurgenmuller3599]

Luv this synth!

[@robertgarvansnyder4665]

Great video. What’s that desktop visualizer you have?? That is so dope.

[@wendelynmusic]

Just bought mine. This really helps. Can't wait until it shows up. Make a video showing off the sequencer. I want to know how that works since this is a unique synth.

[@devinbelangermusic]

@@wendelynmusic right on! Enjoy your new synth and glad I could help! Sequencer is standard but the scale lock is cool. Might make a short, stay tuned

[@krs1426]

Love your scenes! Are you planning to share them at some point?

[@mklschwrtz2]

Seriously considering one of these along with the coming Behringer LM Drum. I think that would be an awesome little setup to have at home!

[@devinbelangermusic]

That would be a killer combo! The LM Drum looks great. I use LinnDrum samples on literally every record, so if they can pull it off I will probably get one too

[@AdamLADN]

What’s that audio spectrum thingie you have in the background?

[@NickGunzburg]

I used this live recently. loading scenes on the fly was very nice. I just named them _01... etc to put them at the top of the list, building a setlist. Sounded great live.

[@devinbelangermusic]

right on! I bet this would be fantastic for live performance. Did you make use of the note/part follow modes?

[@NickGunzburg]

@@devinbelangermusic i did. i mostly used the layout that had the one row at the bottom, and used that for the chords. I made custom chord packs. Arp on each synth most of the time.

[@lawrencedb]

@nickgunzburg Curious as to whether you paired this with a drum machine in your live set ?

[@NickGunzburg]

@@lawrencedb I used a flesh drummer… I usually use a Torso T1 and a 1010 Tangerine for drums, which I’m hoping to try with the Synth soon.

[@timdanyo898]

Can you stem out the three audio tracks to a DAW?

[@JoshuaSimonson909]

Very cool, I wonder if we are going to get a end of year retrospective looking at all the best gear you used that came out in 2024?

[@devinbelangermusic]

@@JoshuaSimonson909 that video is coming! It’s my yearly tradition :) stay tuned

[@JoshuaSimonson909]

@@devinbelangermusic groovy!

[@JoshuaSimonson909]

oh, and one more thing, I think the Polyend Synth will be my next hardware synth, I see they already have poly after touch, I do hope they add MPE support so MPE midi controllers can work their magic with it, but maybe that goes against what this is, so what do I know haha

[@MANTIS_DnB]

@ 13:00 i’m Back at my first Time watching Blade Runner and listening to Vangelis Soundtrack. Thank you.

[@manachild6425]

I read a lot of comments about the fact that the Polyend Synth bug often. CPU problem also. Have you encountered this kind of problems? Thank you

[@SonicVibe]

Does this box suffer from the software issues of there other boxes ?

[@danwentz]

Glitterboy, please turn down your lights! This will work perfectly with my Polyend Tracker first run!

[@MikeFelkerVideos]

Really great video. As a Synth owner, I'd really like to know how you made some of those jams. You either created or found an amazing brass lead sound. Where did you find that? I'm all about brass and strings. I find much of the synth engines/presets too lo-fi for my tastes. Love the arps/sequences you created!

[@devinbelangermusic]

Thank you! I can't remember if I made that one or tweaked a preset , but VAP is the one for brassy leads. Bladerunner preset is a great start, but if you make your own, its all about detuning saw waves and then getting the envelopes right (medium attack, long decay, long release)

[@MikeFelkerVideos]

The second or third jam that you show on your video has the best arpeggiated playing I've seen on the Polyend synth. I'd love for you to create a step-by-step video on how you created that arpeggiated rhythm

[@devinbelangermusic]

@@MikeFelkerVideos Time stamp? I can probably send you the patch!

[@MikeFelkerVideos]

One around 3 minutes and especially the one at 4 minutes!! Thank you

[@VoidOperator_1]

I’ve had mine for 2 weeks, and it’s now my favorite plucked/brassy synth in my arsenal.

[@masonjahncke7844]

Sounds very nice! I may have to get one in the future for that inspiration of creation.

[@devinbelangermusic]

It’s a ton of fun for sure!

[@joegrant413]

Dude, I just searched on "which dawless gear is most fun", and Miles Away thankgoodness comes up first! FYI, I am re-reading The Inner Game of Tennis for about the fifth time. Discipline and following instructions matters, BUT if you can't retain interest -- or have FUN making music -- it's not worth it in the long run.

[@devinbelangermusic]

@@joegrant413 love that analogy! I think that makes SO much sense. I started this channel to combat burnout from my main music work, and it’s really kept me going playing synths and doing the random ambient adventures. Super interesting to hear evidence backs that idea up. Fun ftw

[@TheLastHalf88]

Can you share individual parts with a DAW somehow? Seems like you can’t but it’d be pretty sweet if you could

[@devinbelangermusic]

Good question, the other Polyend stuff can do audio stems over usb. I would be surprised if this couldn't evetually, but don't think it can yet

[@Twigtwit1]

What’s the thing that’s moving with your voice called? In the back.

[@Tripwelleverday]

Does it do the dubstep wubs can u mod each steps lfos i need a new wub synth badly

[@devinbelangermusic]

It can! However I personally recommend a synth focused around parameter lock/motion sequencer. Minilogue XD is perfect for stepped wubs. However this thing can do way more

[@AndyFirebladeMuza]

I love Polyend and I would love to buy this but, I'm worried they will bring a plus version out in about 10 months.

[@devinbelangermusic]

I actually think this is pretty safe from being plug-in-ified, because the Synth is 100% all about the performance UI with the grid pads and key/note follow. The sound is good but not that special . It’s all about how you play it

[@mojodrum3215]

They said they will not bring a plus to the synth many times

[@palindromopalindromo4406]

Way too expensive for such a digital synth with only 8 voices and without a drum track.

[@ITATTRACTS]

Nah.
