Agreed, that would look funny next to a digitone though. Like the synth equivalent of a bag of all-sorts

there is nothing on Dreadbox’s website and I remember Polyend mentioning something on Instagram that a big new firmware was coming… My take on it is, most of the features that were missing were on Polyend’s end and Dreadbox are staying quiet as the promote their other products.

Yeah Def a firmware thing. Not highly visible on Polyends website but it’s in their support section

It’s just a firmware thing, I have V1, not keen on the bright knobs but I installed v2 last night, all I can say is il finally start using it productively rather then just as a paper weight in a paperless world lol

I’m considering whether or not to buy an Medusa Polyend.
I give priority to the ‘queue mode’ and synchronism when the sequencer is running then you change the program
Is it like in the Elektron box (no direct or jump)?
The manual omit about it
I hope I was clear in the explanation
Thank you in advance
I’m really digging this tbh… anyone recommend? The price is silly

I think it’s a beauty. I’m stuffed with mono synths so not getting it anytime soon. But if you have space for it and good fx to run it through…

I recently got one and I’m happy with it. My original unit had a hardware defect with the analog parts. Polyend was super quick to replace it.
The grid is a lot of fun. I really love playing back parameter locked sounds. Hope that’s something Elektron takes note of. For sequencing it can feel a bit clunky at times.
The synth makes for a wicked mono or a pretty solid poly (with the only paraphonic part being the filter).
They’re working on a new software update that’ll add more midi functionality such as being able to send the lfo and envelopes out to control external gear.

So the price looks perfect at £592 gbp… they cost a lot more elsewhere I may have to just invest at this price
Rising pound today has made ordering around Europe a lot cheaper

I have it in my basket but I’m still browsing… this thing has no FX but 3 oscs is what I need for stabs… pisses me off if anything synth has less than 3 oscs tbh
if you’re looking at that sort of price may be worth comparing it to the specular temps as well. but going back OT, the Medussa (bought when it first came out) is the only synth im still unsure of to this day, its now just a synth I dust off when new firmware comes out play around with it and put it back

3 analog oscs
3 digital oscs
Unique concept that makes lots of fun
Got mine last month and I am very sure it won’t get dusty for a long time
The sequencer with parameter locks of almost everything is amazing, inspiring, love it
Mine has a BAM and a Timeline to go through all the time
Randomizing is cool
Drone mode is nice
I could continue…

Nice one. I was really tempted. I’m a big fan of Dreadbox. Enjoy!
At that price you need it lol… I plan on feeding it through the A4 for FX. Thanks for that link I nearly paid £600 at Thomann.
