Easily the most straightforward Polyend Play tutorial on RUclips. It made genuinely excited when I actually understood how the functionality and how intuitive the workflow is. Thank you for this series. Hope you will do the same for the Play+.
Just wanted to say, really great video! It was super easy to follow, and the way you presented was just superb! I’ve been out of music making for a bit and have been doing heavy research, and long story short, this was a must-buy. Your videos have definitely helped me wrap my head around the gear, and they clearly stand out from other people who have, like, 20k followers. Great work and keep it up
@@RonCavagnaro Good! I bought one recently and wasn't loving it but I had a blast with it for hours last night! I ultimately plan to try to use it as the brain for several hardware synths, hopefully you're going to cover MIDI sequencing 🤞
this is a good video. i just ordered mine earlier, wanted something different coming from maschine, mpc live, sp404 mk2. looks like a lot of fun and.... easy? i need to figure how to set the length of a note, like a quick press vs holding a note for half a bar etc
That is a preview that retriggers as you turn knob. Yes you can disable it. You would go into settings by clicking down knob and disable preview , it has different settings during payback, during stop, both, or off
Watch my videos and see how it operates differently. I have a lot of videos on how deluge works. Eventually I can make compare videos but I'm currently working on tutorials on the play.. These videos are laying out how it works so you can compare on your own. I prefer deluge but I like all of it and they all operate differently. Apples and oranges. But yes eventually I plan to make deluge compare videos. It's a big project
and if its drums? I downloaded the latest beats and melody fills and silly me it asked if I wanted to replace thinking if its the latest what could go wrong… derrr… lo
That would be tough hmmm youd have to select the rows and then double tap the button of the params you want to reset. So then after that youd have to select notes again.
I don't think it should be used for slices, personally. Theres so much other gear for that stuff, feel free to watch my other videos, you can go pretty far with only a few samples. If you're looking for something more standard, recommend to look elsewhere. Play is almost wired to be "slippery" and always leads to "happy mistakes". This sets it apart from other gear which is more wired to make what you want with full control. Thanks!

I actually got the play+!!! I'll have to figure it out first but yes
Thanks Ron for taking the time to do these videos. I loved everything you did for the Deluge and you did again for the Play!
Shift+Undo, in conjunction with turning off the Double-Tap, is a game-changer.

Enjoyable and informative, better lighting on knobs might help your viewers see exactly what knob you are twiddling, subscribed.
Gotta say you explaining the play has made me realise I have only scratched surface and I’ve owned it for 2 months 😂, great videos dude thanks
Great series of videos on Play. Higly suggested for Play owners and wanna buyers.
Thank you! That was very nice of you
Thanks
@@karl.weaver whoa thanks!!! Glad to help!!!
This is 1000x better than the manual
Whoa huge compliment thank you more coming!!!!

@@PugALug70 of course yes that is planned but I still have to go over more basics next
Manual? You mean the confusing randomly put together topics. Does anyone know how to write a manual anymore?
@@bobclark5360 hehe I used the manual to make the video, either way glad to have helped :)
Thank you so much for this. I’m thinking of this machine and this tutorial seals the deal. Much appreciated!
Thanks! Make sure to watch all of the videos too including the new 1.4 features
Thanks, wow would of never known about all these features without those vid.. 👍
HI, CAN I IMPORT LOOPS??? ONE SHOT SOUNDS, NO. LOOPS?

This is what I need. Thanks !!!
Planning more on the way!!!

There is no function like that, you have to set the sample start and end
Hi Ron, great vid. Is there any way to get rid of that click when changing parameters?
That is a preview that retriggers as you turn knob. Yes you can disable it. You would go into settings by clicking down knob and disable preview , it has different settings during payback, during stop, both, or off
@@RonCavagnaro thanks a lot! You're amazing! @Polyend give this man a cookie!
How does it compare to the Deluge? Which one do you prefer?
Watch my videos and see how it operates differently. I have a lot of videos on how deluge works. Eventually I can make compare videos but I'm currently working on tutorials on the play.. These videos are laying out how it works so you can compare on your own. I prefer deluge but I like all of it and they all operate differently. Apples and oranges.

30:18 it's not recording track length automation for me
Hey there im on play+ and indeed it does not record that anymore. Darn!
Great demo. I am struggling updated to latest firmware but on fill it shows (no templates) what do I need to do please
If it's for melodic fill you need a sample folder for "bass" and "synth", specifically named that .
and if its drums? I downloaded the latest beats and melody fills and silly me it asked if I wanted to replace thinking if its the latest what could go wrong… derrr… lo
@@ToastedGhost you can see it on the manual under audio sequencer/fill tool it says "beat fill" needs kick, snare, hihat folders to work :)
I get that but why did Polyend just chuck everything into 2 Folders one that says Melody Fills the other beat Fills?
@@ToastedGhost no idea hehe but if you play by their rules it's fun !
Mabe I missed it but is there a way to undo all the parameter changes in a row or the whole page but leave the notes still selected? Thanks
That would be tough hmmm youd have to select the rows and then double tap the button of the params you want to reset. So then after that youd have to select notes again.
Theres also an undo function but not sure how that would work for your scenario
@RonCavagnaro That will work thanks.
Very tutorial. Thanx.
Thank ya for watching
Its not very good for loops/slices though is it? Seems like it is pretty much exclusively one shots
I don't think it should be used for slices, personally. Theres so much other gear for that stuff, feel free to watch my other videos, you can go pretty far with only a few samples.

@@RonCavagnaro HI, CAN I IMPORT LOOPS??? ONE SHOT SOUNDS, NO. LOOPS?
@@totolagares you can try but play isn't made for loops really at least not yet
@@RonCavagnaro thanks broo..!!!
