New gear? Yes! A very slightly used Polyend Play + just arrived and I am working on unearthing its secrets. I haven’t unlocked the full potential yet, but I think I’m getting this song mode thing sort of figured out so I thought I would get some thoughts down on paper…er…video. These are some basic song writing tips specifically for the Play and Play +, although some can be modified for use in other grid based groove boxes.

I know a lot of my long time viewers are pretty seasoned musicians. This is, for the most part, a beginner tutorial, but maybe some of the old grey haired guys like myself have other tips to add in the comments.

A full review of the Play + is scheduled for the near future.
