John Leone, an audio engineer and a close friend of mine, initiated the concept for Poly with just 60 buttons and a chip encased in a cardboard box. When he approached me with his vision, we sought ways to enhance user experience and anticipate construction details. To achieve this, we devised a set of key plans and crafted a 3D-modeled prototype. Using these plans as a foundation, we constructed a more robust real-life prototype and formulated plans for future iterations, focusing on intuitive button mapping and body enhancements
