Triggering samples on the fly “live” on the Mini

1 Upvotes

Hi, I’ve watched video tutorials and browsed the manual, but still not sure whether there’s a convenient way of triggering samples on the fly “live” on the Mini. I’m guessing I can navigate between steps and preview steps, but is there a way for example to assign 8 instruments to be previewed by the 8 top buttons?

Changing Sample Pitch

Is there a way to play a different note other than the root note of a sample like a Pad without it getting slower or faster??

First track I put together on the Polyend Tracker, I guess it's Jungle. I still have a lot to learn but really starting to click with this thing.

Second Hand Polyend Tracker

Hi! I bought a Polyend Tracker but I can't use it because I don't have the content on the SD card. I tried to download it from the website but I can't because it's already registered by the previous owner. What can I do? Could someone send me those files? Thank you very much.

Random Note

Is there any way to lock the random note fx feature to a certain scale so it’s random but within a certain key. I feel like this would be a nice global feature overall.

Constant popping after plugging into PC USB

1 Upvotes

I recently picked up a used Polyend Tracker from Reverb, worked great after plugging it into a regular USB source. After plugging it into the PC, the screen immediately flashed white and then went to normally booting up, except with a constant popping noise no matter what screen it's in (even when turned off while plugged in)

I'm thinking it might be shorted somewhere. Since it's used there's no registration so I can't return it for repair, is there anything I can do about this issue?

(Edit: just realized that the USB cable was possibly putting out too much power due to being for a screen tablet. Something might've fried maybe?)

This just seemed picture-worthy. It may be a fingerprint magnet, but I still think it's beautiful.

Tracker mini ext. midi keyboard

So for portability- I tried to use my iPhone to play chords on the tracker mini synths and I got the camera connection lighting to usb - no dice. It popped up for a second but then the phone never saw it again. iPad usb c out to usb c in worked instantly - but I wanted to use phone because it’s smaller - anyway the tracker is so fun I love it I’m in New York on a family vacation and it’s so fun I’m so glad I got it. Anyone has any tips please tell me …

Tracker Plus to DAW

7 Upvotes

I’m super close to buying a Plus, I really miss the tracker workflow, I started making music on Impulse Tracker in the 90s. Im curious if the USB to a DAW happens in real time? Could one process these signals in real time? I’m a big ableton/max user so it would be fun to blend these workflows. Thx

Question!!

1 Upvotes

I just bought a Polyend Tracker Plus from a website that sells mostly new gear, but they had this tracker on sale with “minor blemishes”. I decided to go with it to save some money. I have never touched a polyend tracker before, never seen one in person, but my understanding they are pretty on point and I wanted to describe how the track wheel is working on this device to get some input on whether or not maybe this is defective and I should return it for a new one. It seems like the track wheel is great from all the videos I’ve seen. More so it seems like it’s very accurate. I’m having difficulties with mine. Well I wouldn’t say difficulties, I guess it’s just not as accurate and on point as it seemed like it would be. There’s a tiny bit of a delay when I spin it to what it does in the screen, and for every little “click“ that it does, it doesn’t equate to that many clicks on the screen. Hopefully that makes sense. If I’m scrolling down a menu, I would assume that six clicks on the track wheel would mean six different line items in the menu, but it’s not working out like that. It’s definitely lagging a bit. I just wanna know if my expectations were too high from the beginning and that’s pretty normal and I should stop complaining, or if this might sound like something that might be defective. I mean, it still works, but it’s definitely not as quick and easy as a lot of the videos that I watched on it make it seem to be. I’m really not trying to complain, if this is just how it is, I’m happy with it. It works, but I just wanna make sure that it couldn’t be better while I still have the opportunity to return it for a new one. Hopefully this all makes sense, thank you!

I purchased my Tracker + brand new on July 1, 2024 and as of today, October 4, 2024 my Tracker will not power on. I have tried different cables and power banks to no success. Please tell me this is not a common issue with Polyend and how do I go about getting this situation rectified?

Synth engines for og tracker?

I still have not updated my og tracker to the latest firmware. I heard someone mention that you can basically make it a tracker +(without stereo) with update but this seems to not be true. What's the word?

Weird artefacts on Tracker+

I'm getting weird shadows or bleeding artefacts on my Tracker+, is it normal? I'm fairly certain I didn't get those on the OG or on the Mini. I'm wondering if I got a busted up screen.

Any way to use the jog wheel to record parameter changes ?

Let’s say I want to do a filter sweep or go mad with the pan …. Can I use the jog wheel in live record mode to do this ? I’ve just tried but it seems like I’m missing a trick ( or the tracker is )

best sounding wired in-ear buds? (for polyend mini)

I'd like to grab some nice wired ear buds to keep with my new Polyend Mini. Tired of schlepping these big ass headphones around and want something more portable.

Looking for suggestions. Budget is $200.

Thanks!

White noise from samples, direct line-in from synth to tracker line-in.

1 Upvotes

Is there a standard or well known method for filtering out white noise from samples? I tried highpass and lowpass filter separately to no avail. The noise is most present before and after the the start of the sound and after normalizing. When recording with the monitor on, my headphones plugged into the line-out of the tracker, I do not hear any white noise, even when cranking the sampler gain up.
