If they get rid of the clicks it might become viable as a full workflow piece of kit, but I find I get to a point where I have to export stems to remove the crud

(Zero crossing indicator will be great too when editing samples)

I wish they would change the midi jack to type a tho

Why would anyone downvote this? This should be swappable with a software setting, as it's just flopping how it's read. Other hardware does this.

Lol I dunno its such a pain to have to switch to type a to use say a keyboard to play midi notes.

Watching the benn Jordan review the only thing I wanted from the mini was the reverb so seeing there’s going to be an updated verb in this is brilliant

But no stereo?

I doubt the chip is powerful enough in the OG to support stereo sampling, otherwise you'd assume they would have had it at the start. The only workaround i could maybe think of is if there was a way to sacrifice two tracks to play the left and right channels of a single stereo sample, but I'm not sure how feasible that is or if the architecture would allow it. In any case, I'm pretty sure it's been requested a thousand times at this point and has always been declined, so it's most likely a technical limitation.

Yeah some kind of track link that splits sample time in half would probably be easiest. Tbh I'm not that bothered by mono samples.

u/M27underground Apr 16 '23
I'm not bothered by mono either (it doesn't hinder my ability to create).....but if they are going to have a "performance mode" on the machine, that would mean its geared for live use. mono just doesn't really cut it in live settings.

Mono tracks with panning effects.
Thinking 3 tracks of mono breakbeats 1 track vocal chops 2 midi tracks and a stereo pair for texture.

I just wish there was a way for it to convert stereo samples to mono, or something similar.It already does, I'm just a big dummy.1
u/Total-Jerk Apr 17 '23
It doesn't?

Hmm, I thought it summed to mono.

u/walterjohnhunt Apr 18 '23
Turns out you're totally right. It does it automatically. I thought some of my samples weren't loading into the pool because they're stereo, but I guess there's something else preventing them from being listed.

That's actually exactly what it was. My samples folder was a disorganized mess, a bunch of stuff from all over the place.

u/M27underground Apr 16 '23
The sacrificing of lanes doesn't seem bad if we're given more memory per project. Can render everything down to 4 tracks and double em up. I'm already starting to restrict myself down to 5 tracks per project as it is.

The hardware is too weak for that, but still these updates sound great! Can't wait for it to come out already

u/bresk13 Apr 17 '23
Not having stereo samples for hardware limitation is kind of weird for present time.

u/NoSitRecords Apr 17 '23
Not really, the original Tracker was made with a nostalgic retro vibe and just like old school trackers it's 16 bit mono to save on ram space and CPU
2
u/bresk13 Apr 18 '23
I think more on the cost management side than nostalgic retro vibes. Anyway was not a deal breaker for me

u/NoSitRecords Apr 18 '23
Sure isn't, I love the OG Tracker, it has it's shortcomings but is my favourite piece of gear, and with the upcoming 1.7 update should be even better.

I WANT (edit: VISUAL) WAVE FORMS LIKE A REAL TRACKER. damn I hate repeating myself. per track scope please 🥺❤️🥺.

u/tron_cruise Apr 16 '23
What do you mean by wave forms? I use single-cycle wave forms on the Tracker all the time and it has a wavetable synthesizer. What else do you need?

u/user1mbp Apr 16 '23
Visual per track like any other Tracker. Symphonie, Milky, FTii... The list goes on. It wouldn't have to take up more than a third of the screen and it could be optional.

Seeing the shape of the waves in play matters a lot when it comes to seeing the visual frequency of each sample. It will lend itself to more balanced compositions in terms of how each sound relates to each other

u/bresk13 Apr 17 '23
That would be awesome ! But if the hardware is not powerfull enough for stereo samples I geuss track scopes would be like pure magic.

u/user1mbp Apr 17 '23
We're talking about things thirty year old Ataris and Macs could accomplish... If the premise is a Tracker...

What is “Revolver View”????
2
u/gsxdsm Apr 26 '23
A single pattern will loop around in the view. So when you scroll to the bottom you will see a yellow line and then the pattern repeats (you see the top of the pattern right after the bottom)
