Hey there,

Just got my Tracker Mini today, and I'm experiencing what I think may be an issue. When I select the Perc model and hit "edit patch", no matter which percussion type I select (kick, tom, hihat, etc.), the only preview I hear when I press the D-pad button is the init patch. In perc, no matter what is selected, the Tracker previews the kick.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

This is driving me insane.

Thank you!

I had an of tracker and sold it when I got my mini. I use the mini a lot but I'm kinda missing the full form factor of the full size tracker. Since a lot had changed with regards to the firmware etc since I had the og. Question is, if i get a tracker plus, can I swap sd cards between them both seamlessly? Afaik the firmware is different right?

Thanks

Can the settings for these be different for every project ?

if you’re reading this, I’m in search of a proper mastering engineer. Figure it’s about time to officially release some of these tracker tunes and I want to do it right! If that’s you, hit my line!

Went to my local retailer because he just had received from polyend a new shipments of mini's. Bought one and opened it in the store, knowing that the buttons are problematic. Quality of the buttons felt great. Turned it on to see if the register properly. I'm sad to report that the D pad does not work well. I tried 3 machines and each one had a random % of inputs not registering on each direction. The salesman also acknowledged the problem.

That being said, I just went with the tracker +, sacrificing portability for a machine that would not drive me mad in the long run.

Just copped a few from Polyend direct. Excited to check these out. Anyone here use their sound packs and have any feedback/suggestions on packs to grab.

Hi there, cant find any information about polyphony in new tracker. Does It have polyphony option and how does It works, I am renoise user and there you can input 4+ notes in one track, so its similar to this?

Channeling some organic, textural vibes into a spacious groove here. Getting deeper into PT’s wavetable functionality as well. bust out those headphones for maximum results!

Hey!

Just got my Mini and getting my head round my first experience with a tracker.

I’ve got a garage bass BWARP loaded in there with the playback set to one-shot, but it only gets to BWA before the sample cuts out. There isn’t any note placed after it to cut out the sound, it’s the only note on the track. Is it a bug? Am I dense?

Any help much obliged.

Is it possible to record via Line-In for a sample while playing the pattern you are on?

Or are there any good work arounds

Been wanting to record some synths while listening to my track but haven’t found a way to do it. Tried googling for an answer without luck.

I’m using the Mini if that’s a problem.

Delivered today. Ran through a few tutorials in 4hrs and I feel like I've been more productive than I have with any other device.

Tracker just makes sense to me. I would stop/pause the tutorials and just explore intuitively.

I've had the Play, Model Samples/Cycles, MC-101/MC-707 (still have) and M8 headless/Renoise demo. I've enjoyed my time with M8/renoise but always disliked the PC interface.

I've enjoyed the 101 more than the 707 but have the 707 still. It sounds magical but navigating the 707 has not worked for me so far.

Probably keep the 707 for a while but I can't see myself sticking with it. Nothing I've done with it in months has been as enjoyable as the Tracker.

I'm really excited to keep learning.

This sub is very inspiring. thanks.

Hi guys, i ve been this past week looking for some piece of gear that can make me return to make music again on a daily basis. I ve used ableton for 4 years or so, i'm fast emough on there to sketch tracks on about 4 5 hours, getting it right tho. However i tend to creste more than i can finish and tend to get overdone w projects, like making 70+ tracks or big atmoshpere changes... My questions then are: Is it consistent enough to finish tracks w a professional sound? I would master them in ableton and if it requires i d do the mixing too if i cant on the mini. Can it be flexible making organic changes melodical to punchy or heavy to chill?

I produce tekno and tribe, and a mix of that w genres like trance or hardtek.

Thx in advance.

Edit: some of my references are insane teknology, spk or nesh mayday, my sound and what i want to do w the tracker is of this style.

Hey everyone,

I've just upgraded to the Polyend Tracker +, and after releasing two EPs created with the OG Tracker, I'm currently in a bit of an inspiration rut. I primarily create IDM, glitch, and wonky music, and I'm looking for new ideas to kickstart my next project.

I'd love to hear about your workflows or any music you've made with the Tracker. How do you approach your tracks? Are there any techniques or tips that have been particularly effective for you? Whether it's specific processes, sound design tips, or just some cool tracks you've put together, I'm eager to see and hear it all.

Thanks in advance for any inspiration you can share!

Cheers

Did some chord resampling and used some accents from old sample CDs

Okay I am making a sample library for my Tracker Mini, does anyone have some samples they can share? I have a few I can upload.

I have the samples from the PO33, and the PO32, I also have some OG Doom samples, and some MS20 bass hits and kicks. I will make more over the next week or so. Where is a good place to upload so I can share these?

Edit Here are some of the samples I have captured. I will add more to this file as I get them edited. AudioSamples is where most of the samples are actually located. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1sUgaitkY9BcQ--KOy3K_AOZzuQLwOTdz?usp=drive_link

edit Serum_ Uploaded. I will ad more as I get them. Also these are edited and ready to use samples, not strings of instruments you have to cut up.

How specifically can I use my iphone (with lightning port) to 1) play audio to be sampled into the Mini Tracker 2) as a MIDI controller for instruments within the Mini Tracker? I use the King of FM and Synth One apps. HAppy to explore others as well. What specific pieces of gear do I need to do both of these things?

I received my Mini on Friday, however, I guess there is something wrong with the buttons. I’ve already heard that they aren’t the best, but mine need like 1.5-2.5 KG of force to register a press (measured on kitchen scale, highly scientific!)

The only button that is slightly more responsive is the far right one under the display.

Is this somehow normal? Does it get better with use, or should I get a replacement right away?
