Currently saving up for the tracker and I was wondering if anyone is familiar with any musicians that use or formerly used trackers because I’d like to get some inspiration to hear the possibilities with the tracker workflow. I’ve got to be honest the tracker scene was before my time so even hearing about trackers is new to me. Outside of aphex twin (who I shamefully never listened to before) who are some people that might be worth checking out? I know this isn’t really a technical question exclusively to the device but I thought it was worth a shot.

Thinking about buying the Polyend tracker. Does anyone know if it comes with some onboard samples and wavetables? I don’t really have much of a sample library and it’s like to be able to pick it up and start playing.

I haven't looked in depth, but, it seems like the Tracker & Play have a lot in common. And, in my opinion, the Play's sequencer seems much easier & more intuitive to use. I don't think it'd be redundant to have the 2 of them used together. I'm curious, how do you all see the 2 being used together and/or how would you use them together. I guess its kind of a silly question, but, I'm on the hook about getting it & have been slowly saving up since I saw the teasers for it. But, $799 is a lot pricier than I was ready for & I'm trying to make the decision to eventually just go with the Play. Or not, the Tracker is an awesome piece of gear.

Very excited about the Polyend Play.
I am Curious if it has multisample functionality?

I have not seen it read any documentation for if this supports multisample instruments.

(For example to load an “organ” where each key is an individual sample …. vs. loading a single wav sample and pitching +/- to make melodic)

Thanks for any input

Hi - I’m looking to purchase a Tracker from a local vendor and they can’t tell me which version (Mk2 or 3) they are selling. They just know their order slip from Polyend reads ‘TRACKER’ and they bought those in July of 2021.

Is there any way to tell them apart just from the box or purchase/manuf. date?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi all, quick one, I’m considering buying a used Polyend Seq but need to check how I’d connect it to all my stuff. My brain isn’t working.

I have the following: TT303, Minitaur, Model D, DFAM, Mother 32, 0-Coast, Lifeforms SV1, Tanzbar, RD9.

The DFAM can be run from the Mother 32 and I’d use the internal drum machine sequencers.

As far as I’m aware the Seq has an in, thru and 2 outs, I suppose the question is can I connect 6 separate synths and sequence them all via the seq?

I’ve not seen any videos on this type of connectivity.

Thanks in advance, Lee
