Polyend Perc

We’ve manufactured Perc using high-quality machined aluminum enclosures. Designed it with unprecedented attention to every detail, using world-class components. We created a device that was not only inspiring and supported imagination. It was also guaranteeing seamless and stable operation.

So what made a Perc kit? A sturdy beater with different striker types. A very flexible clam allowed easy mounting. Functional controller and all the necessary accessories. Simple, convenient, easy to connect, and for immediate use. Our first take was a three-way controller which was later on replaced by a single unit. This offered a much more flexible configuration. Allowing users to daisy-chain as many kits over the MIDI protocol as needed.

The Perc will work with any MIDI transmitting device. No matter whether it was the newest version of your favorite DAW. The beloved drum machine, or a smartphone app. Connection via USB or classic MIDI DIN output was the way to go. You just feed it with a sequence from any available source and let it do its magic.

Any percussion instrument you strike with a stick or your bare hands will work flawlessly with Perc. It was supposed to let yourself open up to new possibilities. Congas, xylophone, hotel bell, saucepan? Thanks to Perc, these all could turn into your new drum machine. How many ideas did pop into your head within a minute?

This particular instrument has brought us a lot of attention in a very short period of time. Many of our musical heroes started working with us and became our friends because of it. In our wildest dreams, we didn’t suspect all this to happen overnight. When starting the company, we were joking that when Richard D. James will ever buy one, our goal will be achieved. We can close the party. Believe it or not, then, he became our first customer. And there’s a hundred That’s explaining what happened pretty clear. And this was just the beginning of an amazing journey for us. This amazing feedback and support showed us that we’re heading in the right direction.

Today, the Perc has become a part of the Polyend Legacy. Designing mechanical, robotic instruments is very challenging and rewarding at the same time. Seeing its huge potential, we’ve decided to enter these grounds and open this market. A large number of Perc units was provided to all the creatives out there through the last couple of years. But now, our focus has changed. We are realizing other ideas, and working on different instruments. Yet, we’d like to ensure you, that this type of innovative idea. Things that connect different words together. Are something that we are still interested in. Now, the Perc is not made in its known form anymore. But we may get back to this idea in a refreshed form in the future. It’s always on the back of our heads and in our hearts.
