“We hate AI slop. We don't want the fun to be taken out of music making": We tried to vibe code a custom looper pedal with Polyend Endless – here's what happened

Polyend’s latest hardware release, Endless, was one of the most eye-catching announcements at this year’s NAMM show.

Endless is a digital stompbox effect that can be loaded with different processing algorithms in order to produce a near-limitless variety of sounds. What makes it so attention-worthy, however, is the accompanying Playground system, which can turn a user’s text prompts into a completely bespoke DSP effect ready to load into the pedal.
