Isn’t the Tracker a mono sampler? So it might just be recording the left channel. It does support stereo monitoring so go to Master 3/3 and see if the L/R bars jump.
Would be weird if it didn’t convert a stereo audio input into a mono sample though.
Apologies for subsequent posts, still learning how to quote multiple posts in one reply.
Hello everyone. First time here and I was hoping if someone can help with regards to a training course for the Tracker?
Does anyone have experience of the course offered by 59 Perlen?
Polyend Tracker Video Training
I was also looking for the Discord group invite and the one posted a few posts back had expired. I searched around and found the following one that states it never expires and managed to join.
So if anyone is looking: Discord Invite
Any longtime renoise users here who are happy with the Polyend? I just started learning renoise and love it more than my current hardware samplers, and was wondering if the polyend trackers limitations would put me off?
Anyone have any issues in Performance mode?
Trying it for the first time tonight and consistently crashing the PT (locks up and just outputs a rough tone). No consistency to it at all…I can add a performance effect a few times then eventually the PT crashes. Evoked crashes while using a number of different performance effects like Sample Playback, Low Pass Cutoff, Sample end.
I’m using v1.6.0. I have to pull the power to restore things.
Is anyone else getting this?
I’ll investigate how to raise a ticket on Github.
I haven’t done any such courses, but just adding that there is also one from Groove3:
Given that Polyend has a bunch of official video tutorials for Tracker’s various features up on their site, the Groove3 one seems a bit redundant. At least the 59 Perlen one focuses on putting everything into practice and making a full track, so it seems like the one to go with.
If you search YouTube there are stacks of free tutorials.
It’s not that complex of a box that I’d pay for a course.
Probably, unless you approach it as an extremely minimal and unstable version of Renoise.
I ended up getting the Groove3 course as I had some credits built up from previous purchases.
Mahlzeit! If you Like Art of Noise, may be you like this:
Hey, do you know how to circumvent the Wavetable Synth to keep playing a note when switching to another pattern during playback?
Yeah just leave the track free of any notes on the new pattern
are you wanting it to keep playing when the pattern changes or do you want it to stop playing? confused by your use of circumvent
I’m a long time tracker user and finally picked one of these up. I’ve used multiple trackers over the years, but in the last decade I’ve used pretty much only Renoise.
Sometimes I run Renoise on Linux, just because I don’t have the long list of plugins i have on the Mac (most of them don’t have Linux builds). The reason i do this, is because then my session becomes “all Renoise” – I like using nothing but a handful of samples and all the native Renoise functionality. I know it’s a bit of a cliché, but I do think limitations can have creative advantages.
From what I can tell so far, this little box totally fits the bill for creating with limitations, on a portable tracker.
That being said, Renoise at its core is one hell of a sampler. It’s a great tracker, can work as a DAW, plays well with hardware, runs plugins, but its sampler is the shit! My two all time favorite samplers are the Octatrack and Renoise, so if I’m going to miss anything on the Polyend tracker it might be in the sampler department.
Redux VST is pretty nice, too.
Yeah redux is great if you want to bring tracking into another DAW. I kinda wish redux had MIDI out – although I guess I could just use Renoise for that!
Yup, import Renoise instruments and phrases into Reaper easily that way. Phrases are the shit.
Also mainly stand-alone on Linux when I’m using Renoise, so I know exactly where you’re coming from. 
Yeah! It’s like a tracker inside your tracker 
I like using phrases for polymetric stuff, because you can easily have different phrase lengths on different instruments without getting too lost.
I still haven’t tried any polymeters on the Polyend tracker, but I’m sure that if it’s possible it might be covered in one of the 7k posts in this thread
The Wavetable Synth keeps on holding (playing) the previously played note forever when you change patterns during playback. I don’t want that. Is there a way to do that (preferrably without adding FAD to every unused row in all of the patterns of the entire project)?
