13.4 Resetting the Conguration.
There may be occasions when the changes in congurations have caused
problems and tracking back is not possible. An example may be that MIDI
settings applied may need to be reset. The whole conguration settings can
be reset to the defaults. This is performed in the cong menu.
▌ RESETTING CONFIG
1. Hold [Shift] + [4] or use [Menu] to select the ‘Cong’ Menu.
2. In the main menu list select the ‘Firmware’ option using the screen
navigation buttons.
3. In the Firmware sub menu select ‘Reset Cong’.
4. Press [Apply], 6
th
Screen button and follow the prompts. Any previously
changed settings will be restored back to default values.
13.3 Emergency Firmware Update
Firmware updates are available from the polyend portal for your registered
device. A reset button is provided, recessed behind the rear panel for
emergency situations . A reset can be performed if there are issues with the
update method or to clear Tracker Mini issues but should not be used as a
regular process for updates.
▌ TRACKER MIDI & FIRMWARE RESET
1. Download the latest rmware. Access rmware updates for your device
from your registered account at Polyend.
2. Copy the downloaded .ptf rmware le into the /Firmware folder. This
can be found in the root directory of the SD Card. Also ensure any
previous update les remain in the rmware folder.
3. Insert the SD card into Tracker Mini.
4. Use a pin or thin object to press the internal reset button. This is located
on the bottom of the device to the left of the input and output jacks.
5. Tracker Mini will reset and search the rmware folder on the SD Card. A
random rmware will be selected and installed in order to recover
Tracker Mini to a working state. The install process is typically less than
1 minute duration.

The reset option is useful if any lock ups or freezing occurs on Tracker Mini. It is not necessary in these
situations to download a new OS. It is advised to keep a series ofcial, known good, rmware releases in the
/rmware folder. For example 1.5.0, 1.6.0, 1.4.0. That way steps 4-5 can be performed in case of issues and
a random update will be performed from a known state. A manual update in the ‘cong’ menu to select the
latest version can then follow.
