Today, Polish synth-makers Polyend announced that the Eurorack modules they had introduced in introduced in May at Superbooth 2019 in Berlin, are now available for purchase.

Among the new modules is the Preset, a preset manager for Eurorack synthesizers (pictured above), but Polyend developers add, “it’s much more than this.” Preset has 9 LED colored clickable encoders, allowing the user to store up to nine different CV output values in 32 banks of 32 presets. (“Yep, 1024 in total!”).

Three colors. Three modes:

• Green – Gate mode – sends values from 0V to 10V only when the pad is pressed. Once released, the Gate outputs 0V.
• Blue – Constant Value mode – sends values from 0V to 10V constantly.
• Cyan – Notes mode – sends quantised constant values (V/Oct or Hz/V) that correspond to the notes in a chosen musical scale.

Preset Product Feaures:

• Nine independent CV output values in 32 banks of 32 presets.
• Save and recall Notes, Gates, Constant values or Recorded automations.
• Play your presets live or sequence is using Gate Mode.
• Smoothing option can smooth out your recorded automation.
• Built in 32 scales.
• Slew option allows you to morph values from one preset to another in a chosen amount of time.

In order to be compatible with every MIDI device, Poly 2 also gives users a wide array of customizable parameters. It also works with MPE devices. Poly 2 accomodates a range of voltage norms, with different standards for Pitch and Gate, allowing it to work with Eurorack modules, Buchla, and other CV-operated instruments.
