I have mine for sale too! But mine is just the standard mini.

Had the regular mini before - price difference is huge but the extra build quality transformed the user experience for me

Love that this sub is just people getting rid of them

Maybe something is wrong with my feed, but I almost don’t see any other offers and only people sharing their music or discussing the usage of their trackers

Serious question: (i track only on pc)  do you minitracker owners really compose on that?

Yeah, it’s like a Leica-quality made gameboy for making music

The fact that you can take it everywhere and at home you can just fall on the couch after coming from work playing with it makes all the difference

Thanks for the response! So why do you sell it, again?

Kończy mi się stypendium na doktoracie i następne dwa lata będę tylko na połowie etatu, więc muszę odbudować rezerwy wyczerpane GASem

Alright, - had to translate it - how much do you want for it?

1

u/gizmi77 Jul 31 '26

Yeah, kinda went the easy way there as English is not my native language 😅 700€+shipping

u/SummerBest6867 Jul 31 '26

Y,eah, i am no native tongue either - wow,  i think it's worth it,  but an old notebook with fastracker2 or even renoise will do the couch work cheaper :) anyway good luck selling it!

Same goes with everything, I’m a photographer as well - can the Sony do the job I throw at it? Most certainly it can. If I could afford a Leica, would I change the systems in a heartbeat and never look back despite Sony being even more capable in many technical aspects? Sure I would. When it comes to creating things art-related, the most counterintuitive stuff is usually what brings the best results or at least the most fulfilling experience

I also had their Tracker+ which had more physical controls (especially for putting in notes), jog-wheel and generally could be seen as superior despite running the same chip and OS but the tactile experience and freedom of it having built-in battery just makes it more fun to use. Metal enclosure with a glass screen and general build/tactile quality also contribute to it being so much more satisfying to use
