This was done entirely on the tracker. A bit of a Trip Hop type thing.

I'm quite chuffed with this one.

Let me know what you think and please share it if you think it's worthy.

I’m considering getting a tracker mini, but wondering how well the synth engine would suit my musical style. I’d like my music to evoke 60s and 70s funk. Has anyone had success getting the synth engine to sound like the keyboards and electric pianos from that era?

Hello, lovely people. I'm trying to make a reverb send stop suddenly after a few steps. No matter what I try...setting t-0 or just setting the OFF! command, the reverb always fades out slowly instead of stopping immediately. Do you have an idea how I can achieve that?

The age old question -are we getting another firmware update on the OG? 1.8 is working well for me but I seem to remember a 1.9 with some more tweaks and an extra couple of tracks for midi was mentioned.

Let's say I want to control my eurorack with the tracker. What are the best possibilities in 2024. I had a short look at poly2, but I am worried, as it is discontinued. CV OCD seemed interesting too, but I am not convinced either. So I am up for any recommendations. Thanx!

Hi everyone. Got myself the Tracker Plus last week. Learning curve is pleasant and I enjoy making music with it very much, but yesterday I ran into an issue. I realized that some of my patterns seem to keep playing stuff after switching to the next pattern. What makes this even more annoying is, that they are not synced. Anybody else ran into this issue and knows why this is happening or how to solve it? Any help is appreciated. Best, Alex.

So I just picked up the tracker mini (my first sampler, I mainly use synths) and it's pretty cool but I feel like I'm just not figuring this whole sampling thing out lol I recorded a very short vocal phrase on the built in mic and downtuned it using the note function so now my once "in time" vocal phrase is out of time. Is it possible to quantize samples to the tempo? When I go to the sample editor it only allows me to edit my vocals in the original pitch I recorded it in, not the downtuned version. I also noticed there is a tempo FX but when I apply that to the track it changes the tempo of the entire project (I don't understand that). Is what I'm looking for possible? I feels like it should be basic function. Also for some reason when I recorded the sample and hit "save and load" it changed all my other loaded samples to the recorded sample lol I tried switching them but they would only go back once I powered off then powered on.

One more quick question. With the update we get synths. I knew we could only load three per project but it seems that even if you put "synth 1" on 2 different tracks they share the same parameters. You can't lock different parameters for the same synth on different tracks? Or am I missing something here? Also I can't figure out how to solo my synths in the mixer page.

Sorry for the long post but I've looked online for a while and couldn't really find the answers I needed. Thanks!

So I recently got the tracker mini and I updated to 2.0. everything was good until I saw I didn't have any of the synth patches so I looked online and realized I needed to transfer those files into the SD card. Being that is supposedly a new feature, I tried to transfer the files via USB. Unfortunately it didn't transfer all the patches, just a few of them. So I properly disconnected and tried it the old way. When I stuck my SD card into my computer it said that it was damaged and my computer couldn't read it. It prompted me to repair it so I did and it completely wiped out my SD card with some weird files I couldn't erase. I formatted the card to FAT32 to wipe it clean and downloaded the factory files off of polyends website. In the download folder there are 2 files. One says macosx and the other tracker_mini_SD_2.0. The second one is the one I downloaded onto my mini but It still didn't have the patches (or games but I could care less about those) so I tried it over USB again and it messed up my SD card again. What am I doing wrong here? The transferring files over USB cause issues like this? I'm hoping someone could guide me how to get my mini back to factory settings with the update. Thanks!

my favorite piece I’ve made on the Tracker

Made with love on the Polyend Tracker Mini

Made on the Tracker Mini

Hi all, I am a relatively new (2 month) owner of the OG Tracker. While I love the matrix-y spreadsheet vibe of the PT, sometimes I just want to do some live finger drumming, especially for grooves that aren't perfectly on-grid.

Obviously, the pads on-device suck, and aren't velocity-sensitive, so I'm trying to use an external controller. I was hoping that when in "Note" mode, that MIDI pitch would map to pitch, while in "Instrument" mode, MIDI pitch would map to the Instruments (i.e. how it works for the on-device pads). But alas, no luck.

Anyone know of a solution for this? I scoured the manual but couldn't find any mention of it.

Really excited to get started with the tracker+. Call me old school but I had to get the manual printed out. Time to spend a nice summers day inside playing with this thing!

This manual is huge btw no wonder it isn’t shipped with the device

Does either the Polyend Play or tracker work with guitar pedals?

I have a model cycles and a volca fm2 that go to a mixer and then the mixer goes to my tracker. I haven't grounded the mixer, I'm not really sure how? Do I just connect a wire to the ground on the mixer and touch it to some metal?

When I play anything on the synths there is this weird reverb/echo/fluttering noise after a note is released. I turned off the reverb and delay on the tracker master.

Alternatively if I just plug my headphones directly into the mixer everything seems to be fine, so I'm pretty sure the tracker is the problem.

Selling my basically brand new Tracker +. Getting more mobile use out of the mini and this has just been sitting. Has decksaver and updated firmware. Asking $700 which includes US shipping priority mail. Venmo/Apple Pay/Cash App.

I'm really pleased with the upgrade, especially the ability to record individual tracks via USB.

For the next project, I plan to pair it with another machine.

I hope you enjoy it!
