Polyend Tracker: Full Release

The Polyend Tracker is finally available to buy*. Here's a video going through the demo track I made to be included in the device.

*I thought it was going live today, according to Polyend, but it's still in the "pre-order, first come first serve" stage. Here's the official word from Polyend:

I thought it was going live today, according to Polyend, but it's still in the "pre-order, first come first serve" stage.
Here's the official word from Polyend:
"The preorders have started on the 18th of March. We've started shipping the firstly preordered units to private customers/stores/distributors with the last days of May. This is a constant process. I think we'll be sending them for a long time before the Tracker will be available "in stock". Anyone can order at their retailers or directly at polyend.com but we'll be shipping the preorders on a "first come first serve basis" until September 2020 I think."

early 2000’s UK liquid DnB? yes please !!!

This gives me flashbacks to when I'd spend hours and hours laying out a drum track in Impulse Tracker or the like. The tracker workflow was always fun to work in but I kind of don't miss it, all the same.

This bangs. About to pick one up this week. It's the piece of hardware I've always wanted

bought one today and I love it already. I've been using Renoise for 10 years and Buzz before that. Of course, you can't expect it to have as much modulation options as in Renoise but still, just the performance FX section is awesome. Instead of using song mode, I switch the patterns in realtime in Performance.. I layered a 7/8 arpeggio on top of a 4/4 and it worked. And what's also cool is that when you select and deselect a track in performance, it retriggers the pattern from the top! It's a bit like ''phrases'' in Renoise!!

Best vid of the Polyend Tracker on Internet.

You and loopop ! What more do we need to choose new gear. Superb video about how to build a track on the Polyend

[tron]

I've return to this video 3 times, just to listen to the track at the beginning.

[ultrasyd]

Could have been called "Polyend Jungalist", that's the first thing anyone wanna try with it haha. Great device to chop beats !

[hairetikaos]

It's the sixth time I watch this video since it was published, that DnB and the whole review is so amazing it cheers me up everytime I see this, saving all the money I can to buy one * 0*

What I learned from this is just how many patterns/variations it takes to make full songs

[SmashSquatch]

Pre-ordered and excited. Can't wait to sample some of my guitar playing with it. Also, love your content - I am new to digital music making, but your stuff is accessible and very enjoyable.

I don’t know what I’m looking at but I know I want one

that demo track is ruthless, too excited about mine coming on tuesday

[FiveElementNinja]

Love the Good Looking Records vibes at the beginning. So good! 🙌

Gear Acquisition Syndrome triggered heavily. The only way I’ve ever been able to create “music” for more than a few seconds was with a tracker, aeons ago. I just can’t get over the font difference between the GUI and the buttons... will have to live with it probably :-(

Thank you for that demo!
As much as I like glitch and other stuff, most other videos about the tracker were just too experimental, too special and too much for most beginners. A Basic drum and bass / jungle style demo is way better for grasping the basics of a tracker :)

[MrMargaretScratcher]

Funnily enough, I've just been fiddling around in Renoise - excavating a track I made ages ago in Octamed on the amiga which I managed to convert to .xm, and handily the Akai programs/multis that it was originally triggering are able to be converted easily enough in Kontakt. But it seems so alien now, having to kind of hold the song structure in your mind rather than seeing everything linearly on screen...

[pjohns]

As soon as i get mine im going straight to your project, learning it, remixing it and sending you what I come up with ❤

[zooblestyx]

Thumbs up if you also thought that vocal sample said "cuppa tea"
