Polyend Drums Drum Machine (Silver)

Designed to feel immediate, sound exceptional, and give you more ways to create with less to think about, the Polyend Drums is an analog and digital drum machine built without compromise. It features Polyend's most advanced and intuitive sequencing system. With 8 tracks, the unit offers deep per-track control, probability, micro-timing, pattern chaining, and generative tools move you beyond simple stepped playback into expressive composition.

Analog Voices

Four analog voices built on modern SSI chips create a dense, classic tone with modern flexibility. Each stacks dual analog VCOs, a dedicated noise source, and additional digital oscillator for hybrid layering or precise FM modulation. Each shaped through a multimode analog filter and VCA, giving you everything from tight percussion to evolving synth textures.

Instruments

Multiple analog and digital synthesis methods, sample-based instruments, and eight independent LFOs give you the core tools for creating and modulating drum sounds. With over forty instruments, each containing its own sub-mode mutations, you get hundreds of options from which to choose.

Live Performance

Drums is designed for real-time control. Use the X0Y fader to morph kits, trigger fills instantly, and switch between patterns or sound kits without stopping playback. Key parameters stay close, so changes can be made while the pattern is running.

Effects

Drums includes three dedicated effect groups. Send effects are for shared processing. Insert effects are for individual tracks. And there is a master chain for the final mix. Inserts can be sequenced per track, so effects become part of the rhythm rather than something added at the end.

Power

The device runs on a dual-core main CPU, with auxiliary processors handling peripherals and analog control. Internal audio processing is done at 32-bit floating point, 96 kHz, with 24-bit / 96 kHz DAC and ADC conversion for audio input and output.
