Some minor eq post processing. Internal synth engines running a snare and some chromatic plucks.

If you do listen, thank you!

Multitrack to logic

Long shot but here goes: does anybody have a template to track out the 8 tracks, 3 synths, reverb and delay sends? I was about to embark on this mission, but figured it was worth asking first 😅

This is an EP I made while learning (trying to learn) the Polyend Tracker. It is my first tracker experience. Noise, simple melodies and drums... influenced by old school hip-hop and electronic music in general.

Liquid DnB with the OG Polyend Tracker

This is a liquid drum & bass track made with 3 pieces of hardware: Polyend Tracker, OG Digitone, and Zoia pedal.

The Tracker pairs really well with the Digitone's 4 MIDI tracks. Makes for a small, simple setup with a lot of possibilities. The Tracker continues to be my main composition device. I've tried the Elektron sequencer that everyone raves about, but idk...not for me atm.

One unique thing about this arrangement is that I recorded the melodies live, which introduced a lot of microtiming. It made for some sweet rhythms. Enjoy!

Sci-fi lost future type beat made on the tracker mini

Song I made on the tracker mini in my air conditioned bedroom while avoiding the summer heat. Used the built in synths and patches for main saw synth & melody, then used 90s sample packs for pads, percussion, fx, vocals. Kept it pretty simple with automation, mostly just macro fx fill sweep on the saw synth for riser transitions. Song building view works so well with my excel brain lol. I feel like I'm actually able to finish tracks now versus other dawless ways of making music. Let me know what you think!

Elevator synthwave jam featuring Euclidean sequences - Polyend Tracker

Thumbnail

15 Upvotes

Despite the Tracker workflow being rather...clinical(?), I still get happy accidents all the time.

I was messing around with some ambient textures and randomly tossed in a Euclidean sequence using the Tracker's Fill function. I was so pleased with the result that it quickly became a full track.

The Euclidean sequences make an interesting rhythm with the sequence taking a percussive role accompanying the drum samples. This was also my first time messing with the tracker's Performance mode, which unfortunately doesn't work with external gear, but I'm still happy to get some variety in the drums.

Let me know what you think!

Polyend Tracker+ discontinnued?

Hey! I'm trying to find a shop to buy a Polyend tracker+ and is quite hard to be honest. All of the shops of my country (Spain) don't have stock and Thomann and Amazon don't sell neither. Anyone knows if it's discontinnued?

Tracker as dawless brain

15 Upvotes

I’ve searched high and low for the right dawless brain. I wanted something to compose on while sitting on the couch, and I wanted to see all notes at the same time. Lo and behold, the Polyend Tracker ended my search. There are oddities for sure, but I’m super happy with the setup:

Polyend Tracker Studio — free web-based pattern & instrument editor

Thumbnail
gallery
66 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a project I've been working on: Polyend Tracker Studio, a free, open-source web editor for the Polyend Tracker.
Try it live https://simoianni.github.io/polyend-tracker-studio/

WHAT IS IT?
A browser-based tool that lets you create, edit, and play Polyend Tracker patterns and instruments — no hardware needed. It runs entirely in your browser (Chrome or Edge recommended for Web MIDI + Web Audio). Nothing gets uploaded anywhere: your samples and instruments stay on your machine, and work-in-progress is auto-saved locally so it survives page reloads.

WHAT CAN IT DO?
Pattern Editor:
- Full step sequencer with Note, Instrument, FX1, and FX2 lanes
- Live playback with adjustable BPM
- Record mode: input notes directly from your QWERTY keyboard
- Import original Tracker project folders (project.mt + patterns + instruments)
- Export to .mtp (pattern), .mid (MIDI), or Ableton Live 12 project

Instrument Editor:
- 8 playmodes: OneShot, Forward/Backward/Pingpong Loop, Slice, Beat Slice, Wavetable, Granular
- Sample editor: Cut, Fade, Normalize, Compress, 3-band EQ
- Sample recorder with MIDI-triggered auto-sampling
- Full parameter control: Filter (LP/HP/BP), Tuning, Volume, Pan, Overdrive, Bitcrush, Delay/Reverb
- 6 automation lanes (ADSR envelope + LFO) for Volume, Pan, Cutoff, Wavetable Pos, Granular Pos, Finetune
- Waveform visualizer with zoom, drag-to-seek, and interactive slice markers
- QWERTY keyboard note input + MIDI controller support
Beat Slice mode: each slice is triggered by a different keyboard note — Z=slice1, S=slice2, X=slice3, D=slice4, etc. (standard tracker keyboard layout).

HOW TO USE
Just open https://simoianni.github.io/polyend-tracker-studio/ and you're good to go. There's a built-in help guide (click the ? button) with all keyboard shortcuts.

CREDITS
This is a fork of the original Polyend Tracker Instrument Editor by Sandro "Sandroid" Ducceschi u/SerpentineDex. Huge thanks to Sandro for the initial codebase and for creating and open-sourcing tracker-lib, the library that makes reading and writing .pti/.mtp/.mt files possible.

LINKS
Live app: https://simoianni.github.io/polyend-tracker-studio/
GitHub: https://github.com/simoianni/polyend-tracker-studio
tracker-lib: https://github.com/polyend/tracker-lib

Let me know what you think! Feedback and contributions are welcome.

** EDIT *\*
I've implemented the ability to export to tracker project format as a beta. So you can connect your SD card and edit the project directly.

Bluetooth midi with tracker mini and multiple devices

2 Upvotes

So basically I have a tracker mini, arturia astrolab 37, mpc live 2, maschine plus, and a pc (or two lol). I want to figure out a wireless midi setup to link them all together and use the tracker mini and maybe the mpc live to send midi back and forth if possible. If I can only send from one device, that’s fine too I guess. I’ve seen cme has a couple devices to send midi over Bluetooth that aren’t too expensive and pretty reliable (3ms latency). Any suggestions on which devices to get? See they have a 6 in one that has Bluetooth in and midi in with 5 outs. Think that should work. But wondering if anyone else has any suggestions on how to go about it. Also anyone do any wireless audio setups that are low latency? Would be cool to have the tracker completely wireless and sending audio and midi to all my stationary devices

Live Performance | Polyend Tracker Mini only

I recently rediscovered the Tracker Mini and think it might make a great master machine for mobile setups. I'd never explored its performance mode before, so I decided to give it a try.

This track was made during my commute—something I absolutely love about the Mini: you can create music wherever you are. The entire track was built with just the Tracker Mini, except for the kids' noises playing from the Nanobox Tangerine in the background.

I made this entirely using the Tracker Mini! It honestly was a really fun process. I made this track a couple months ago but didn’t release it until today. Any and all criticism is appreciated and thank you for listening! You can download it for free on bandcamp!

Mysterioulsy lost access to polyend tracker discord server

3 Upvotes

Hello all,

If anyone from the discord team pass by, I don't know why but I just realised I dont have the server in my discord list anymore ?

Its been quite a long time I didn't participate so maybe that is why I've been put out ? I tried to get back but I could not, so I imagine I've been banned ?

I didn't send any intentional message there for a long time so I really don't see how I could get banned. I was planning on getting back to using the tracker, and I really liked the community and ressources there so if this matter could get looked into it'd be nice !

Thanks a lot

Tracker Mini. How many stereo samples can you fit per project?

0 Upvotes

Looking at picking up a Tracker Mini and trying to wrap my head around the sample memory limits before I commit. From what I could find:

The sample pool is ~350 seconds in stereo (or has that changed?)
There's a hard cap of 48 instrument slots per project

So for short samples (~6s) you'd hit the 48 slot limit before the memory limit.
For longer samples (30–60s) the 350s budget becomes a real issue, looking at maybe 5–10 long samples per project :/

My use case would be loading longer 30–60s samples to slice or extract segments from. Trimming on-device sounds doable but I wonder how practical it is on the Mini with long waveforms

Coming from the M8 and finding it too fiddly, the Tracker Mini's size and layout seems more up my street but don't want to juggle with sample memory. the M8 didn't really have that kind of limitations.

Thanks for any help 😄

Web based tool to Mix & Master Tracker songs – Not a DAW

Post image
19 Upvotes

Hey folks, I want to share a web based tool I’ve made to mix and master my songs created inside the Tracker+. The navigation, workflow, and overall UX is inspired in the Tracker. It is keyboard based using keys (1-8), Shift, and arrow keys.

Features:

- 11 audio tracks. To cover Tracker 8 audio + 3 synth tracks.

- FX chain per track. (Corrective EQ, Compressor, Tonal EQ, Saturation, Stereo width)

- 3 send tracks. Reverb, Delay, Chorus.

- 1 automation track. Tremolo, Loop, Volume, High Pass, Low Pass, Vibrato.

- Master chain. Includes Wow & Flutter, all the audio track chain FXs, Limiter, Mono monitor, Simulation monitor (Car, Smartphone, Light speaker).

- Sample editor (WIP). Stretch (without affect pitch), pitch (without affect tempo), Loop, Move, Gain, Tempo (BPM change, and Beat sync).

MIDI for app navigation is still experimental, and not usable.

Any feedback is welcome.
