Polyend shared this sneak preview of Seq v2, a major update for their hardware step sequencer.
Here’s what they have to say about it:
New firmware v2.0 for Polyend Seq MIDI Sequencer is still in the beta phase (join if you like). Besides the per track tempo dividers/multipliers, it will bring a number of other functions like improved rolls and manual step retriggering (great for live performance).
Seq is getting seqxier 😉
The update is currently in beta testing and availability is still to be announced.
Seqxier, indeed! These developers are sincerely interested in making a powerful platform for music making. Their inclusion of a very wide set of chords (and perhaps at some point a more extensive set of scales), as well as adding tempo factors per track, makes for a very versatile beast.
how is the polyphony per track? i want to use the thing like my mc-808.
How about a monitor output and mouse port.A cubase style midi only sequencer .
Monitor what? And what is “cubase style”? I think it is MIDI only.
there’s some old 80’s atari computer that runs cubase 1.0 (or some super old build) and the midi clock is supposedly superior to any hardware or software on the market today. people still use it for super quantize dance genres like dnb. i think that’s what he means by “cubase style”.

Those were the days!
A really GREAT bit of kit being made even better!! I can’t wait….
Beautiful design. It looks fun to jam on with all of those buttons.
Snazzy update but just way waaaay too expensive for mere mortals like me
I agree the price is “boutique”, which it is. There are a couple of strong selling features: 1. it is a center-piece of creative work– you have tactile and visual representation of ideas. 2. the company cares about creative power and flexibility– so updates will add new features designed to open more doors. 3. It is generously sized so you can see a large window of work/control without paging. 4. It seems well designed and durably built.
Ok, that said, I have a vision of my dream step sequencer, and this isn’t quite it for me. If I had more room, and more dough, I’d get one in a heartbeat.
