When you consider how old PolyPlex is, and yet the randomization and settings are the standard for most new drum machines. Maybe it was ahead of it's time!
Polyplex has been surprisingly awesome. Came in Komplete and as a Battery enthusiast, I have to say it's really fun and refreshing to use if your usual methods aren't working
Your voice makes my speakers vibrate as if they were broken .. o.O It reminds me of school (20 years ago) when the teacher rolled in a big ol' TV and a VCR and turned it up to the max.
i absolutely love polyplex and it's my go to instrument when i need a percussion sound but am not sure what sound i want....however, it's impossible to use as it's been used above in a busy project as it sucks up any remaining CPU in an instant
i wish the 4 main-bars under PITCH> START> PAN (not-so-much) and VOLUME> were automatable. always enjoy this thing and learning how to use it. usually i just need one or two sounds out of it....it can get PRETTY VIBEY!!!
Polyplex is fun and easy to use along with several other synthesizers in reaktor. But, reaktor as a whole has been quite complex and difficult for me to customize and use what with all of the vast number of plug-ins you have to choose from or connect to get sound. I haven't been able to use reaktor to its full potential for a while now. Or, maybe I'm just a "dumass".😋
it's a great instrument and like you said, quick way to get some randomization, would be great if the sounds / samples were updated or we could change the samples ourselves. can we get a tutrorial on that?
It's a CPU hog because you can go "inside" the plugin and program it on the fly (not "program" as in knob twiddling, but literal programming). You give up efficiency for flexibility.
Polyplex will not play midi for me in Ableton Lite. I get Polyplex audio from playing the computer keyboard, but it doesn't respond to the midi clip. Other Reaktor ensembles do. What is going on? Please help me, someone!
In Reaktor you can route anything to a MIDI controller, or even OSC. Hell, you can build a devicie specific controller yourself and make as many knobs as you want!
Lack of a step sequencer is pathetic, should ideally be in one app, instead of switching to the piano/drum editor of the DAW. Luckily, few drum VST's are being released with built in step sequencers.
You can pretty easily wire up the Polyplex ensemble to a sequencer ensemble in Reaktor and then save that as new ensemble, there are even a few sequencers in the user library designed specifically to be used with Polyplex.
And now, let's go random, may be we gonna get some good techno... Since techno tools are tought for kids, techno sucks. Cause to effect ? Fine producers know and can control what they do. And it takes more than 5 minutes generally.

LMAO!! XD
Hi can you add in audio samples e.g. mp3, wav, etc.

Had this for a while and this helped. Very detailed and useful

Vom Prinzip ist es wie ein erweitertes Drumlab, klingt gut :-)
Great video..Polyplex rocks
Poliplex's volume resets when I press play in my DAW. Seems to be a new bug. Super frustrating, as I no longer can use this instrument.
Intéressant !
Polyplex is dank for groove based music
that randomize dice who always make a 3 is tickling my OCD

how can I get a midi like this one you have to play in polyplex? thanks
What is that piano roll/midi editor/DAW thing you're using?
pretty sure its Cubase! it's a DAW, he just has the piano roll full screened to the program for the purpose of the video
Too bad Reaktor is a CPU hog. Otherwise the sounds are great.
Totally. I had to build my cpu up pretty big to handle multiple instances of it without freezing channels.

its 2018, buy a better computer. CPU and ram is cheap now
ram is cheap in 2018 lol that's very funny
I also have RAM, but from Daft Punk
Can you use you're own samples with it?
Narrator sounds dangerously close to that smooth talking Dan Worrall.
Ah, c'mon, a little bit higher tone, and he'd be Dan :)
So im gonna roll until I create a banger track and sell it then?
Would be helpful to tell us how to play the patterns.
I was expecting a Sidechain functionality. Doesn't Polyplex have this?
danke

dont need it
but imma gonna get it cause it look sexyyyyyyy
Wow terrible to have to do so much with your mouse...

too much... how many options and such do you need with all the free stuff out there....
get someone who's been to a rave before to do an example..

@@fts4life Thanks for the very useful tip mate 👍
