The innovators at Polyend have announced a new product, the SEQ, a hardware sequencer featuring 32 steps, 8 polyphonic tracks and storage for 256 patterns. Polyend claims the SEQ is enclosed in the highest quality aluminum and wooden housing.
Polyend’s idea behind the SEQ was to craft the ultimate hardware step sequencer. Whether they achieved that goal is up to our review process, but this is what we know right now. Most of the functions are available directly from the front panel and all its features are designed to provide the quickest and most natural way to bring your musical ideas to fruition.
The SEQ’s screen is where you can set the different parameter and Polyend designed the view so you can read everything you need on one screen. “Minimalistic, stripped down from any distractions, it brings all the information user needs in any performing conditions meet.”
