M8 Tracker

Wonderful tune! You hit mellow on the head, very relaxing. This little machine really shines in the proper hands

Are these available to buy yet? I’ve been trying to give them my money for months. When do I check the website? Mondays?

I think all you can do is put your email down and they email when available. Been trying as well and that seems like the only option.

Thanks so much!

The Monday thing only lasted a couple weeks. I think they said more will be in stock in January. There is one on sale on the lines forum. Buy it before I weaken and buy it.

Joined this forum since this seems to be getting more M8 discussion than elsewhere outside of Discord (which I don’t use personally). How are folks finding this machine for jungle/break heavy styles?

I primarily want to use this as a jungle machine, but read that the sample slicing is currently only even divisions of bars? Are there any intentions to allow users to move slice points around? And how powerful/flexible can I manipulate a slice once it’s been chopped? Is slicing destructive or based on changing sample start?

Sorry for the deluge of questions! I plan on getting one anyway, looks way too good not to get, but want to make sure I know what I’m getting myself into :grin:

I’d buy it, but I can’t find it on the lines forum

it’s epic for jungle. made for it imo.
more advanced slicing is in the works I believe.

slicing is non-destructive.

This is the link, if you don’t see it here, then it probably sold. nice price, if you ask me. I almost grabbed one direct and it would’ve been ~$600 after tax / shipping anyway.

Word is there could be another batch ready in around a month. I don’t know how they’ll be released, though. Trash80 posts here every once and a while, but the best place for updates is probably the Discord or the Patreon.

The most recent Beta was released within the last 24 hours, and slices no longer have to be evenly split.

It’s a really comprehensive update.

Dang, y’all are awesome! Thanks kindly, even more excited for the new batch. Hope I can get on fast enough to pull the trigger.

Pretty good…

note: break programming was done in renoise and it’s just playing back a long render, but it could do exactly the same chopping as I did in renoise if I could be bothered re-making it properly.

I think for chopping breaks for Jungle music, the M8 can hold it’s own. The new update will include the updated slicing, scales, and a bunch of other things. M8 is beast

Yeah, even before the slicing update, it was as good as any other tracker (ie. excellent). I’m a bit oldskool and still use sample start position to do my break chopping, so haven’t really had the desire for custom slice points… that said, I’ll probably give them a try at some point!

Love this!

I love how Tim quietly releases this beta firmware and it’s a complete game changer, at least for me it is. Sample slicing was my only request, so anything that get’s added from here on out is just icing on the cake.

I did some snooping around discord and GitHub, and am probably missing something stupid, but can you point me in the direction of the beta releases?

Sure. I found it in the discord under the beta-testing topic. If you use the search bar and type in ā€˜firmware’ it should pop up.
