i left the right side a little bit broader, so it´s clearly a fake real image :wink:

Judging by these promo titles, I imagine the Mini will be getting a new synth, so maybe the Tracker will get it as well…

I wish they had kept those pads somehow. Even splitting them into 2 sections, left and right, so they are still accessible with only thumbs.

This is the picture I saw floating around discords, but I kinda looks more like a fan mockup, hopefully whatever input method they choose has a nice clicky feel, not a fan of the rubber calculator buttons

Edit: thought the alignment looked weird on the right side but it vaguely looks like there is a touch like strip under the fx button, maybe intended as a sorta wheel/knob replacement

Guess on price? £399?

#114

If you are under an NDA, don’t. It doesn’t matter what someone else does unless you get clearance from Polyend.

looks like it could be a touchscreen :grimacing:

whoops meant to reply to the one below ya

#116

Can you comment on changes to the software? I.e. new sample play modes or changes to how things operate?

#117

Looks like a lot of wasted space to me.

#118

Or just programmable buttons below the screen. Much less expensive that way.

That looks like one of those terrible knock off Game Boys that used to appear from time to time :joy:

Broadly what I expected though. If cheap enough, I’m interested, but I’ve got a feeling this is going to be overpriced

This definitely lacks the visual elegance of the Tracker.

#121

My stupid guesses, little cheaper than the polyend tracker, less than the m8 tracker and competitive with the sp404mk2. I wouldnt be surprised if it runs same firmware as the PE tracker with tweaks for buttons/inputs/ui.

Also, hopefully no soft touch material or anything that leads to various case revisions.

#122

So basically a Bastl microgranny, but higher res sample rate and in stereo? I just run my MG samples through stereo reverbs to widen everything back out.

Yeah, I’m actually surprised you speak so openly about it. But I guess that’s part of the hype :slight_smile: it certainly works.

#124

No touchscreen as far as I know and no touch strip either.

It’s an interesting take on a portable tracker though, much more of a maximalist design than the M8… the M8 works so well cuz it has a limited amount of controls that require button combos. Muscle memory takes over which makes it very seamless. This one seems clunky, but maybe it feels good in person…
