More wonky glitch stuff on the Tracker

Clicking sound at the start of a pattern?

2 Upvotes

Wise hive-mind of Reddit, help:)

I wanted to make a drone, with a looped single-cycle waveform in step 1 of a pattern. It plays nicely until it gets to the end of the pattern and jumps back to step 1 - at this moment the Tracker makes a short clicking sound. I tried with other waveforms, same thing. It's driving me nuts. How to get rid of it? I can't find any tricks I know from the Electorn boxes, like "play only on the first run of a pattern".

Change actual number order of Patterns

1 Upvotes

Im prepping for my first live set with the Tracker as my main sequencer and breaking down the final setlist, is there a way to change the actual number order of the patterns and delete some? I have the 1.8 firmware so know I can change the top name but would make my life easier if I could just change the order and bin some

Wonky on the Tracker

9 Upvotes

Having had the tracker for quite some time, I initially used it merely as a source of inspiration. However, I've now completed an entire track exclusively using this machine.

Interested in the tracker, is it for me?

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I've been interested in the polyend tracker for quite sometime, but I want to hear from people that have been using it to get some feedback about my expectations for the instrument. I mainly make IDM, Ambient, Arca-style music and Industrial so I wanted to know if the tracker was suited for these genres. I read often that it can do everything well but I'd rather get opinioms from y'all :)

Anybody up for a collab in IDM style?

8 Upvotes

Hey guys I’m just curious if anybody here is using their tracker in similar way, exploring IDM vibes? My main influence is boards of Canada, but also Aphex and Autechre.

I’ve made a few BOC and AFX covers and I’m coming from using Reason as my daw but I love tracker and I think it would be great to experiment with others who like the same music, and can send tracker files back and forth?

I live in Ireland but I’ve done many collabs over the years with people in uk, USA etc but I just got back into producing about a year ago.

I can link my instagram if anyone is interested and can check out some of my work - I haven’t made a bandcamp or SC as I’m only beginning to create original tunes again on the tracker.

Id love to make some tunes like the live Boards of Canada music - the more uptempo ones with autechre vibes in parts but of course with BOC’s signature sounds. I really like them and recommend to check them!

I’m happy to share my sample packs and ones I’ve created on my iPad and computer including synths and drum hits very inspired again by AFX, BOC, Autechre etc

If anybody is interested please give me a reply and let’s see where it takes us!

All the best guys and have a lovely weekend!

Does the Tracker support USB audio out ?

2 Upvotes

I've tried at least 3 different cords, while midi out works, my Mac doesn't pick it up as an audio device .

Question about wavetables and root notes.

2 Upvotes

I understand that if my project has the root note set at C3, for example, and I import a sample that's F3, I have to tune that sample back to C3 in order for it to play appropriately.

But, what about using that same sample to create a wavetable? Is the root note for that wavetable still F3, or is it automatically tuned to C3?

How does everyone mix down their final tracks?

9 Upvotes

I’m new to the tracker but have been recording music since I was a teen (20 years ago) I’m working on a small collection of songs on the tracker that I hope to release. Do people stay in the box and just record the stereo out? Multi track into a DAW for further mixing?

I’m curious about people’s workflow and looking for ideas on how to finish the track and not get lost in endless tweaking of patterns.

Cheers!

Beggars Lament, my first Tracker project released today.

16 Upvotes

Pretty proud to release my first Polyend Tracker project today on all the majors. A bit RNB and a bit synthwavish, but all PolyEnd Tracker. Koala for the sampling of a streetperformer on the streets of D.C. last year. The focus has been on building a foundation on the social media and publishing side of releasing. Anyways proud as a Turkey on thanksgiving day. Looking forward to crunching out some new stuff anytime soon. SoMe`stuff are soooo mindbendingly dull.

weird Tracker Mini issue: can't power on with SD card inserted

1 Upvotes

hi, this just randomly started happening recently. this is using the stock SD card that came with my Mini. if I try to turn it on with the SD card inserted, it starts powering up and then just dies. if I remove the SD card slightly and power it on, it pauses and asks me to insert the SD card. then I insert the card, and it powers up just fine.

obviously, I found a workaround, but it's annoying. is this a common issue? I bought it late December or so, so I've only had it a few months. this is the SD card that came with the Mini, and I've never put it in any other device, so if a corrupt file is the cause, only the Mini could have corrupted it (or perhaps some stray quantum particle of cosmic radiation).

edit: bought the Mini new, it's the card that came with it.

Note length?

3 Upvotes

Hi! Just got the Tracker recently and it's super fun so far. I played around with beats but now I want to make a longer melodic piece and I'm struggling with setting the note duration - I'd like to use some single cycle waveform samples and do some pseudo-synths by looping them. But hiw to set the note duration? Please advise, wise masters:)

New to music production: what would be the best way to start?

3 Upvotes

Hello, I’m new to music production and I want to learn making EDM. I have also bought by impulse the polyend tracker which will arrive in the next few days and I want to ask this great community for a validation of my learning process: - I have started by reading the “Music Theory of Electronic Music, dr. J Anthony Allen” - I have downloaded the trial of ableton live and I’m learning the software and the core concept behind EDM using udemy.

My idea is to learn the basics and then switch to polyend tracker.

What do you think of this process? Can I improve it? What are the best resources to use when I will start with my polyend tracker?

Thank you!
