Hello fellow music makers, in this tutorial video, I'm going to guide you through the process of setting up MIDI in and out on the Polyend Play. We'll start with the basics, including how to connect your MIDI devices and configure your Polyend Play. Then we'll move on to explore the more complex sequencing features, including layering and taking advantage of the new firmware 1.3 update.

I tried to include everything you need so you can follow along at your own pace and ask any questions you may have along the way. I'm here to make sure you feel confident with your equipment, no matter what your skill level or experience.
