The Polyend Tracker+ is a modern hardware
implementation of a classic software music
application and is the next generation of
Polyend Tracker with upgraded hardware and
extended feature set. Trackers emerged in
the late 80’s as music making tools mainly on
gaming machines and in the 90’s Trackers also
became popular on personal computers. A
Tracker is a utility that assembles a linear
series of notes that typically triggers samples
and associated parameters. Unlike standard
digital audio workstations (DAW’s), Trackers
generally run top to bottom when playing
tracks. Don't be fooled by this quirky
programming style of music making which may
appear unusual, but does provide a very
powerful and creative approach to production.
Polyend Tracker+ presents this vintage
application in a modern and stylish box with 16
sequenced tracks and a variety of synth and
sample instruments, MIDI, effects and audio
inputs and outputs contained within multiple
workow environments. The feature set is wide
with some interestingly creative and unexpected
elements such as retro games and a radio
receiver. Tracker+ brings more power and more
features contained within a familiar form factor
and user interface. Tracker+ includes a stereo
audio pathway including stereo sampling with
extended sample time. In addition the ability to
interface with other gear using audio over USB
covers multiple tracks. Tracker+ introduces a
collection of synthesizer instrument models
alongside sample based instruments all of which
support it’s portability and position as an ‘all in
one’ workstation. This guide aims to help with the
speed up of learning and also to get the very best
from the device. The Tracker+ journey at rst
glance may appear unusual. Tracker+ is fun and
at the same time a powerful, professional music
making unit giving rewarding results. Enjoy.
