{"product_id":"polyend-drums","title":"Polyend Drums","description":"\u003cdiv lang=\"en\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePolyend Drums\u003c\/strong\u003e is a hybrid drum machine unveiled at Superbooth 2026 — the most technically developed instrument in Polyend's history. Eight tracks each accept independent assignment of an analog, digital, or sample-based voice. Four analog voices are built on SSI chips with dual VCOs, a noise source, and an additional digital oscillator per voice — all shaped by a per-voice multimode analog filter and VCA. The enclosure is CNC-machined from a single brick of aluminum with custom metal knobs throughout. List price is $2,699 USD \/ €2,699, pre-orders open with a refundable $500 deposit, shipping estimated in 3–4 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eFour SSI analog voices and four digital voices: two architectures in one machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eEach of the four analog voices carries dual VCOs on SSI chips, a dedicated noise source, and an additional digital oscillator available for hybrid layering or FM modulation. A per-voice multimode analog filter and VCA shape dynamics and timbre across the full range from tight, sharp percussion to longer evolving textures. The four digital tracks draw from a library of over 40 instruments, each offering multiple sub-mode mutations — yielding hundreds of practical variations. Samples can be loaded and layered alongside either engine type. Each of the 8 tracks has its own LFO for modulation. Internal audio processing runs at 32-bit floating-point at 96 kHz, with 24-bit\/96 kHz DAC and ADC conversion. The effects system operates across three independent chains: send effects shared across tracks, per-track insert effects that are sequenceable per step, and a master chain. Insert effects functioning as sequencer elements per step — rather than a fixed post-processing layer — is a defining architectural feature. A stereo audio input routes external sources directly into the effects processor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eSequencer with generative tools, X\/Y fader and 64-pattern projects\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe 8-track sequencer on a 4x16 pad grid supports probability, microtiming, parameter locks, pattern chaining, multiple playback modes, polyrhythms, and generative tools. A single project holds up to 64 patterns, 64 kits, and 48 songs with arrangement options — sufficient for a complete live set. Pattern and kit switching happens without stopping the sequencer. The X\/Y fader provides real-time morphing between states and fill triggering. Output complement: 8 individual audio outputs per track, stereo audio input, MIDI IN\/OUT\/THRU, USB-C, and a headphone output. Available in black and silver, produced in small batches with quality control at each stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e8 tracks: each freely assignable to analog, digital, or sample-based voice\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e4 analog voices (SSI chips): 2 x VCO + noise source + digital oscillator (hybrid\/FM) + multimode filter + VCA per voice\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e4 digital voices: library of 40+ instruments with sub-mode mutations (hundreds of sounds in practice)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSamples: loadable and layerable alongside any voice type\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e8 x LFO (per track)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eInternal audio: 32-bit floating-point, 96 kHz; DAC\/ADC 24-bit\/96 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eEffects: 3 chains — send (shared), insert (per track, sequenceable per step), master\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eStereo audio input into effects processor\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e8-track sequencer, 4x16 pad grid: probability, microtiming, parameter locks, pattern chaining, generative tools, polyrhythm, live recording\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eProject: up to 64 patterns, 64 kits, 48 songs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eX\/Y fader for real-time morphing and fill triggering\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePattern and kit switching without stopping the sequencer\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e8 x individual audio outputs (per track)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCNC-machined single-piece aluminum enclosure, custom metal knobs; black or silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTracks: 8 (analog \/ digital \/ sample, assignable per track)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAnalog voices: 4 x SSI (2 x VCO + noise + digital osc + multimode filter + VCA per voice)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDigital voices: 4 x (40+ instruments, sub-mode mutations)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eLFOs: 8 x (per track)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCPU: dual-core main processor + dedicated auxiliary processors\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eInternal processing: 32-bit floating-point, 96 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eConverters: DAC\/ADC 24-bit\/96 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eEffects: send \/ insert (per-step sequenceable) \/ master chains\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAudio out: 8 x individual (per track) + stereo mix\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAudio in: stereo (into effects processor)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHeadphone: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMIDI: IN \/ OUT \/ THRU\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eUSB: USB-C\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eProject memory: 64 patterns, 64 kits, 48 songs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eEnclosure: CNC-machined aluminum (black or silver), small-batch production\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Polyend","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53719002939729,"sku":"60090","price":2532.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/PolyendDrums1.jpg?v=1778222383","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/fr\/products\/polyend-drums","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
