We currently have a Polyend Play in our studio and of course I made a Cheat Sheet for it :) The concept of this machine is quite interesting and different from your regular groovebox or drum machine. If you're coming from the Elektron world: Imagine an 8x16 step canvas and there are only parameter locked steps, no regular ones. It works surprisingly well!
We hope this will be useful to you. If anything should be unclear, if you find an error or you feel like something is missing just drop us a line - either here in the comments or via PM. Click here to see a list of all Captain Pikant Cheat Sheets.

It’s one of those bugs that makes me feel I’m using the machine wrong :( … it’s kind of a gamble for me to get something new going on it now. You can avoid it by loading whole folders, but that’s not always what you want. The midi seq is pretty pretty awesome tho! Play driving the Microfreak is a live performance setup I’d like to perfect.
