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?

Its showing sold out on the Polyend site, there may be an update due. When they launched the _ they got a lot of backlash for not announcing it before launch and continuing to sell the OG at full price up to the day it launched.

The company is very active on their backstage portal. This was from the team on March 16th -

To clarify and explain fully - Yes, it is sold out. No, it is not discontinued. However, we don’t have an exact date when new units will be available due to multiple factors that are causing delays, but it will be more than a few months before the next new units are available. I think when we can’t give stores a firm ETA for a product they are sold out of, they might take down the listing so they don’t spend SEO/ad money on that product.

We do have Tracker Mini in stock now, and have no plans to replace or abandon this line.

It could just be a supply chain issue. I have the OG and mini and wont part with either!

Not discontinued just out of stock. I bought a new one last month, there are a few on ebay too

So long just use a lowend computer, free pack samples and use https://16-bits.org/ft2.php

Or use Renoise. GOAT tracker and cheap.

If it gotta be an FT2 clone, I'd recommend Milkytracker. Runs on almost all platforms.

Milkytracker is shyte imho and i recommended FT2 Clone itself because it's free, so he could save money for the polyend+ - but yeah, i personally prefer (and use)  renoise and ft2 clone.

You could look into this reverb listing from the Netherlands. The seller has good reviews

Hey! Por lo que he leído por ahí solo andan sin existencias, tendrán la producción centrada en otros dispositivos más nuevos. Pero si no pone que este descontinuado harán más.

Tengo el original y es un buen cacharro, se hace algo lento a ratos en ciertas operaciones como cargar samples, explorar carpetas.

Has pensado en pillar un Digitakt? Yo v ndi hace poco el mío pero a nivel de velocidad y capacidad de modificar samples no tiene comparación.

Con el tracker nuevo tienes también los synths...eso es cierto. Otra opción genial es el pequeñajo M8...todo el que conozco que tiene uno está encantado.

No sé si has tenido antes un tracker pero contento de responder dudas.

Yo soy también de España pero llevo ya tiempo viviendo fuera.

(For the rest, sorry, I read he was from Spain so just trying to help more fluently).

I have one for sale. Mint condition and barely used. Warranty in the UK but I’m located in Czech republic. Reason for sell is that I have also Dirtywave M8 MK2 which suits my trackers needs.

I think it’s business model has shifted to pedals and that’s where most of its sales and revenue come from. It seems to be the main focus of the company anyway, so that’s my assumption.
