Compact MIDI Controller Polyend Press

Polyend Press is a compact and powerful dynamics processing tool that combines pure analog sound with functionality usually found only in digital devices. Designed for musicians, producers, and live performers, Press allows you to achieve professional-level compression both in the studio and on stage. Its main advantage is transparent stereo compression with parallel processing, sidechain, and full control over all key parameters.

At the heart of the device is a fully analog VCA circuit with high headroom and low distortion, which preserves the character and dynamics of the signal even with intense compression. With its full stereo input and output, the Press is ideal for mix or group processing, as well as for use as a pedal effect. The Wet/Dry ratio control allows for parallel compression, a technique that adds density to the processed signal without losing its naturalness.

A unique sidechain system with high-pass and low-pass filters allows for precise trigger shaping, and a stereo 3.5 mm sidechain input makes the Press a flexible tool for creative mixing, such as ducking effects on vocals or synths. The convenient form factor, durable aluminum body, and full set of controls make Polyend Press not only an engineering achievement, but also a practical partner in any setup.
