I was checking this out when it was first announced at Superbooth. Definitely looks like a well thought out machine. It's priced about the same as the Roland TR-1000, which will probably be its most direct competition, but higher than an Elektron RYTM mk2 and Jomox Alpha Base. So, it's got some tough competition, but it looks/sounds like it will hang in there. I won't replacing my TR-1000 or RYTM mk2, but when secondhand prices on the Polyend come down a bit, I'd certainly consider buying one.

I love what they’re attempting in terms of workflow, but I’ll prob wait for reviews on how well it works in practice. Knob per function with no menu diving seems like a challenge to nail with a box that does so much. Also very curious to hear the analog voices, I think those are still WIP so the demo videos have been digital only.
