Polyend Tracker Mini

I requested toggle instead of hold as well.

It makes so much sense

That Dibia$e clip stream was timely - mine landed this morning. First thoughts are gonna be superficial obviously enough, but first impression is good - the attention to detail in the packaging and stuff like the case and cables, SD to usb connector, all really nice. Probably could’ve gotten away with dropping a lot of that stuff and still charging the same, so kudos to Polyend for that. Buttons feel good, had seen some comments criticising them but they work for me. Will admit that I spent my first 20 minutes with it playing Tetris - didn’t even know when I ordered about the NES thing but I’m not complaining.

Did have a few issue with a 128gb sandisk ultra that I bought for this, was pretty temperamental trying to transfer samples on my Mac, reformatted with the tool the M8 guys recommend, but had to use free file sync to get things running. Usb storage mode is pretty hit and miss so far. But got there in the end.

Limited time to dig in but it seems to be clicking pretty quickly - obviously a bit of a learning curve, but I’m starting to feel like I was correct to think that this was about the right amount of tracker for me. Was kinda an impulse buy so was a bit nervous that it’d immediately start wishing I’d held out for an M8, but not looking that way so far.

One thing I’m finding weird is … tempo per project rather than per pattern? It probably won’t be a huge deal for me and how I want to use it, but seems pretty limiting for people who are trying to do do more complete productions on this, especially with chopping. Edit - just after clicking that there’s a tempo fx command, nvm - learning curve, like I say.
