Polyend Endless User-Defined Multi-Effect Pedal

Polyend Endless User-Defined Multi-Effect Pedal

The Polyend Endless is a user defined platform with multiple paths to effect creation. Craft your own effects or describe a sound and get a ready-to-use effect using Polyend’s Playground tool (beta). Swapping sounds is as simple as dragging a file to the pedal over USB-C. It’s built for durability with a custom-machined aluminum enclosure and knobs, and designed for customization with a magnetic faceplate that is removable and swappable.

POLYEND PLAYGROUND - AN EFFECT CREATION SYSTEM FOR EVERYONE

The Playground is a text-based environment for effect creation. Give the Playground a description of an effect, and code is generated, tested, compiled, and a ready-to-load effect is provided. Just drag and drop the file over USB-C, and you are done! A token system is used for the Playground when generating effects. No subscriptions, cloud fees, or costs to try others’ effects. Try a formant-filtered delay that repeats different vowels based on how hard you play, or a Euclidean pattern stutter that reverses on stomp. If you can describe it, the Playground will build it for you. Know your way around code editors/IDEs and have some C++ knowledge, or are you ready and eager to learn? Polyend provides a GitHub repository with an SDK and examples to get you started at fully developing your own effects for Endless.

WHAT CAN YOU CREATE?

Outside of the scope of the hardware, no limits are placed on what you can create with Endless. Describe or code effects that have never existed or create any form of standard effects like reverbs, amp sims, loopers, and drives. Try a pitch shifter that only triggers when you play bass notes on a guitar or a drum machine with a fill that only plays when no audio input is detected. Examples of currently available effects created using the Playground include:

• Tessera - transforms a signal into microlooping arpeggios Tape Scanner - warm, gritty, lo-fi tape delay
• VHS LoFi - VHS Emulation from fresh tapes to dusty old VHS
• Memory Cloud - a field of grains that can be reversed, randomize and morphed from delay to reverb
• 65 Sparkle - an amp simulation, a bit of drive makes the cat inside purr
• Glitch Loop - record a loop, and Endless will slice it into glitchy pieces on playback
• Arp - an arpeggiating pitch shifter with multiple playback modes
• Multidrive - multiband drive with separate saturators applied to three selectable drive bands with multi-modes for different drives

Endless effects are designed to be freely shared. Swap the effect as many times as you wish. An expansive library of free effects is available now, with more effects being added daily. You own what you create, so sharing is always optional.

HARDWARE DESIGNED FOR DURABILITY AND CUSTOMIZATION

The Endless features a durable machined-aluminum enclosure and knobs. A magnetic swappable faceplate allows you to change plates and design your own. Three knobs with multiple functions allow you to access dedicated secondary controls for the analog input level, output level, and mix. A multicolor LED indicator changes color based on the second stompswitch latching on short or long presses. Stomp is freely assignable on both tap and hold. Configurable I/O allows you to switch between Stereo, Mono, and Mono to Stereo functionality.
