Why You Need the Polyend Tracker / Why to Buy 

Thanks for the kind words! I do like to keep things calm. lolz And thanks for the subscribe!!

You’re most welcome! :)

Of course!! Thanks for the Tracker!

I‘ve been using renoise on laptop for a bit and love it for the Shortcuts on the Keyboard. I‘m a lefthander and top to bottom arrangement is perfect for how my lefthander brain works. I have bought the tracker two weeks ago and i have to say i don‘t enjoy it as much as renoise with the keyboard because most of the action on the tracker is handeled by the right hand and my left hand only plays a few notes from time to time. If only the big command wheel was on the left side. Still love my mpc 2000 xl for that matter.

I just love that when I click on one of the tracker video there is a comentt from polyend. This really shows the support from this brand, very appreciated!

i guess I am pretty off topic but do anybody know a good website to stream new movies online?

@Terrence Lukas thanks, signed up and it seems to work :) I really appreciate it !!

Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the review.

you’re very welcome! Glad you’re jumpin on board.

Indeed!

You’re welcome!

Yeah totally! Thanks for watching Linda. You're my number one fan!

Yes indeed! Glad you're having a good time with it

Glad I'm not alone in this!

Dudeness I know right it’s actually an amazing feature. My instrumental tracks have pretty arbitrary names anyway. See you soon in Nashville

Yes true! Electronic musicians are notoriously lonely as well I think it’s fair to say. lol

Thanks very much! Renoise is incredibly powerful -- makes sense to me!

That’s exactly what you want is Trackwr - it can control outboard midi instruments like a synth and be it’s brain for BPM

Thanks Will! Yes I have performed with the push, but I mostly use it during the writing process. I'm not sure why you haven't seen it used that way. Perhaps because the push (in my experience) is mostly great for launching clips and controlling ableton instruments/sounds. I think a lot of people prefer to use many different synths/sound sources and are a bit too lazy to create all the mappings to their software. There are some great performances with the push 2 though! That's just my best guess.

@@et4able Sold my Push 2 (as soon as Push 3 was announced). I always needed to still reach for the mouse and keypads when using Push 2 so I dont miss it. Will wait till Push 3 price drops and gets reviews and decide.

Great Q! Not automatically but you can use the "Timestretch Beat" effect in the sample editor menu to change the tempo. It works well!

Not sure this helps, but I know that the new SP-404 mk2 has this ability to time stretch with or without changing the sample length

@@Mityman64 hey thank you! I am particularly interested in this device. I like the keys for navigation and the screen. The menus seem straight forward. I haven't rely looked into SP MK2, but maybe I should.

@@SlowCloudGrey the Polyend is very intriguing. The only other similar device I know of is the Dirtywave M8. Tracker software seems so neat.

Sorry for the late reply! The duration of the note will change, but most of the time that doesn't matter. It is a downside though! You can, however, do time stretching as a rendered (not real-time) effect. If you want to play a single piano sample (for example) as a melody just make sure the original sample is long enough to last in higher registers. It will mostly sound realistic until you get really high, and then it becomes a creative effect, lol.

I think it all depends on whether or not you’re eyeing any other synths at the moment. If the tracker seems inspiring to you, I wouldn’t let the fact that you have another main brain device like the MPC stop you from exploring it- variety is the spice of life after all! If you are in fact looking at a particular synth/drum machine/effects pedal that is equally as interesting as the tracker, I would go with one of those instead though! Then you are avoiding any redundancies and still getting something new! Or you could be like me and impulsively buy both. I’m sure you deserve it.

They are 2 completely different boxes and approaches to making music and sounds. I use my Tracker then put away for a few months and switch to Live 2, or Octatrack, Analog 4, Akai 404 mk 2, etc.

The per project sample time limit is 133 seconds, so you run out of space really quick. It's more about taking 1 shot samples and manipulating them into something cool. You could record a few chords on the guitar and loop them for example.

@@rorz999 thanks, I'm getting closer to a decision :-)

@@tubeMonger Did you get one?

Thank you so much for the kind words! I will definitely put more music in the background. Thanks for the input, appreciate it!!

@@et4able i prefer these sort of videos without background music , i find it distracting , you cant win !

@@et4able I prefer the way you do it now. Would a musician listen to background music while making music?

@@clagadymuf lol that's certainly true in life.

@@pianoyan Perhaps I'll just add a little more in intros or something and then keep it out. Good point!

haha true! I meant out of the normies who just preordered the device. Not special people who get to beta test it and all that.

Fair enough.

Not your vibe, eh?
