Make an Album

By leveraging a retro form factor with an updated and forward-thinking functionality, the Polyend Tracker, styled in silver, is a compact standalone workstation with an integrated sampling engine, well suited for any creative artists looking to break patterns and forge unique avenues of sonic construction. The Polyend Tracker incorporates all the characteristics of a classic tracker with a vertical timeline, a powerful sequencer, and mechanical keyboard which combine with an updated interface that enables you to create and perform music in a new and intuitive way.

Equipped with a variety of powerful sound-design tools, the Tracker uses your existing sample library and allows you to record new ones with line or mic inputs. What's more, a built-in FM radio provides ample fodder for inspiration. Record samples, play them, slice them, mash them, or even make a synth out of them using Wavetable and Granular synthesis with its all necessary parts (filters, ADSRs, LFO, etc.) Thanks to the bilateral MIDI implementation, you can use it to sequence and control external gear, or it can be used as a sound module controlled by any external MIDI software or hardware devices. The Tracker includes a range of accessories including a USB-A power adapter, a USB-C cable, a stereo 3.5mm to dual 1/4" adapter cable, a 3.5mm to MIDI DIN 5-pin adapter, a 16 GB microSD card, and a microSD to USB-A adapter.

Polyend Tracker lets you choose different sample play modes: 1-shot, Forward, Backward, Ping-pong. Record samples, play them, mash them, or even make a synth out of them using wavetable or granular synthesis.

Slice your samples manually or let Tracker do it automatically for you. It will detect dynamic amplitude changes and slice the audio files. Separate beat slices can be triggered by a MIDI controller sending out notes.

Full-blown Wavetable synthesis with variable table length to make it compatible with the most popular standards (Ableton Wave and Serum compatible). Apply position modulations using available LFO or envelopes. Using the WT Smoother tool available in the Sample Editor section, you can turn any sample into an interpolated wavetable synthesis sound source.

Single grain yet very powerful Granular synthesis to make crazy and futuristic sound from your old and boring samples. Set the grain position, length, and shape and adjust the direction of the playback loop. Choosing from the Forward, Backward, Ping-pong types. Apply position modulations using available LFO or envelopes.

The Sample Editor key gives you access to a section that provides an overview of theselected sample. Set the sample start and endpoints using a precise zoom tool. Use thepreview function to hear changes.

Crop their desired parts and cut out what�s not needed tofree up the sample batch memory. Apply normalizer, crop, reverse, amplifier, and overdrive effects to the entire sample/instrument.

Record up to two minutes of 16-bit/44.1kHz samples using built-in radio, mic, and line inputs. Save them to the microSD card for later or load directly into the project. Samples copied to the internal memory become Instruments, with their own number, name, and separate settings.

Polyend Tracker works great with other instruments too. Thanks to its bidirectional MIDI implementation you can use it to sequence and control external gear. It can also be used as a sound module controlled by any external MIDI software or hardware devices.

Projects hold up to 48 instruments, 256 patterns (with max. 128 steps per pattern). Don't be fooled by the classic tracker look. While maintaining the original quick and straightforward workflow, Polyend Tracker is armed with an updated arsenal of sonic weapons.

Automatic filling, randomizer, probability, selection rendering, effects per step, live recording, batch parameters editing, micro-tuning, micro-timing, rolls, and many more, give you the tools to be endlessly creative. Compatibility with MOD files allows you to import and finish tracks from back in the days or export and finalize them in the modern software trackers.

Polyend Tracker gives you all the necessary utilities to make songs from A to Z. Create your patterns and organize them into an entire piece using the Song Arrangement. Then seamlessly export your tracks to Stems or Master Track directly to the microSD card. Finally, publish your project at Polyend Label. Polyend Label (coming soon) is a new community platform for sharing projects, instruments, sample packs, and wavetables. Share your skills and get inspired by others. Show off your tracks.

Performing with Polyend Tracker is where the fun starts. The performance mode adds a new dimension to Tracker and allows you to remix all the pattern tracks available in your current project. Combining assignable punch-in effects and batch editing of parameters applied to selected tracks yields a powerful remix and transforms Tracker into a live performance instrument by extending the possibilities of a pre-programmed track with endless variations.

The Polyend Tracker is an incredibly versatile instrument, beat maker, and song crafter, capable of making song crafting easier in almost any genre. Guitar music, ambient, synthwave, vocal music, hip-hop, drum and bass, garage, house, trap, techno, chiptune, cinematic scoring, acid house, shoegaze, dubstep, and much more, will all benefit from the flexibility and power of the Tracker. See for yourself why artists like Aphex Twin, Sigur Ros, The Chemical Brothers, and many more, have embraced the Polyend Tracker for their music making.
