What way do you see yourself using it? Is this live use, desktop synths, synths or guitar?
I’m liking it more and more, but I’m not getting anything new at this time. Everything is a wait and see approach.
I’d be shocked if tempo sync wasn’t fully implemented.
I wouldn’t be too surprised if it wasn’t rock solid … it seems harder to do in modern times than when Atari came out.

True. I wish they’d be more in depth with the information on the website.
Too many questions and vague demos atm for me to pre order.
Does it support program changes?
I plan to use a looper pedal or Push 3 SA (also as a looper and providing clock) as an input, and a violin as a source.
Or just as an effect for violin before going to my sound card.

this demo was confusing… they should set it up by itself, run one simple thing into it and slowly explain it

I’m sure tutorial videos are coming. I guess on Superbooth etc. you just try to ‘wow’ as much people and overwhelm them with different sounds, ideas, and so on. Also I imagine it’s loud, crowded and chaotic.
no doubt

I believe that in the Wonic State video, the fella at a Polyend that was explaining the device said that it is possible if I understood him correctly, but that it only works for the first one hundred and some presets rather than all 1000 of them. Or something to that effect.
Edit: I’m hopeful that this unit will offer some way to trigger the sequence with a threshold of some sort…some way that the unit can listen for incoming audio and when the threshold is breached then the sequence would kick off either continuously or as a one-shot kind of thing.

Does anyone know the characteristics of the display?
Seems to me like a colored OLED, but it would be nice to know the size and the resolution as well.
How on earth is the screen resolution relevant?
You have no idea why the question is being asked, seems like a valid question to me…

As the owner of an original Adrenalinn, it will be hard not to buy this. A bit expensive though.
Has Polyend released any sort of statement on how they will avoid the issues that they have had in the past with the Mess? It would really help their credibility if we can get info on whether the device actually can compute the tasks advertised and if the price will remain stable. I believe this is important for anyone interested in the Mess since previous products have had severe teehting issues.
I doubt they are going to do that as it’s a bit like saying “Can I just draw attention to the fact that I’m not a murderer”
I know the Tracker was pretty janky when it first released, but my understanding is the Tracker+, Tracker Mini and Play+ have all been fairly solid.
Certainly I haven’t had any problems at all with my Mini.

Well, that’s in the eye of the beholder, so to speak. They got a ton of criticism over time and because of the volume it’s hard to follow it like a rational back and forth and I’m asking because I hope they have improved. I’d expect that they have responded to the criticism and present a path forward that involves some sort of improvement. If that’s not the case that is also important to know.
I expect the biggest clue will be the experiences of people with the “Step” as it looks like it might be the same hardware platform as the Mess.
