hey guys, it’s [youtuber name] here like and subscribe and I love this product, please buy it from my description plssss. it’s amazing you’re gonna be aphex twin instantly if you buy it from my affiliate link.
saw that.
good vibes. I wish them well.
I haven’t been sold on it just yet (due to the previous tracker) but I hope it turns out to be an amazing piece of gear.
CPU upgrade is a big one.
The slow CPU is the reason they are limited to 8 tracks and very simple synthesis. Might pave the way to some FM.
I admire your optimism
The buttons look pretty terrible and not fun to use at all. They look fine for, like, a button you would push once or twice, but for those tiny little F-tier plastic things to be your only way of interacting with the device? No way.
Stereo samples.
Right. I’m listening.
There’s got to be a new Tracker announced with all the internal upgrades, surely? Damn website won’t load
You won’t like it. No way to do polyrhythms/meters and no asynchronous loops.
Polyend have previously indicated the original Tracker would have got FM, but didn’t have enough CPU grunt.
I’m watching the Benn Jordan video and I totally want one now.
this is me marking my calendar. i will probably buy this in 365 days.
Preordered mine as soon as it appeared on the PolyEnd site.
I’m out.
Wow. It’s tiny.
Good luck with this one Polyend but there’s not enough there for me to be there.
Same, it still lacks stuff that had me sell on the original, like phrases, and more than two lanes of “FX” per step. I am curious to see how the perform mode has been implemented as that’s the only thing that I really liked when I had one, just wish there was a way to record your actions there to new pattern.
Looks fine, but yeah the price kills this dead for me.
Having a wee portable thing to make daft music on (with a screen I can actually see) is a nice idea. But I’m not paying £700 for that
Oh and the rather small point I didn’t actually enjoy using the original tracker
The idea of the PE Tracker is really appealing to me, though I’ve bought and sold/returned twice because of the general flakiness of the software. If this new CPU lets them deliver on the promise of the original PT, I could see myself buying back in. I think I’d rather have an updated desktop version vs the Mini, though.
Watching this Ben Jordan guy interact with it looks kinda awkward pressing the buttons. I get that they needed to move away from the temperamental jog wheel though, they must be still getting sent ones to repair and needed a new design.
Can only hope a Tracker Pro is coming further down the line as this one is not for me.
agreed. that ui is not for me.
[full disclosure - I didn’t like the original pt tracker ui either so I’m not really it’s target market anywayz]
A mini push jogwheel for the right thumb would have been a winner, but those + - buttons…
