10th Anniversary Tracker Mini - What Makes It Special

Polyend Tracker Mini Aluminum | Three songs in metal and glass

video upload by Jay Hosking

"Please support my work on Patreon: / jayhosking
Three drum & bass-ish songs performed live with the Polyend Tracker Mini Anniversary edition.

I've been a fan of Polyend's Tracker line for a while, and the newest iterations—with stereo samples and internal synths—have basically everything I want in one package. So when Polyend announced they were making a Tracker Mini out of metal and glass, with vastly improved buttons, I pre-ordered one for myself. The weakest part of the Mini was definitely the build quality, and I loved the idea of a premium portable Tracker.

A little later, Mitch from Polyend reached out and asked if I wanted to get my Tracker Mini Aluminum early, in hopes that I could show it to others. Seemed like a good excuse to create a bunch of music, and hopefully allow others to see what the device was like before launch.

So here are three songs on the Tracker Mini Aluminum. I started by making my own drum breaks and slicing them in the Mini. The drum one-shots and a lot of the melodic content came from Polyend's own Palettes storefront, which has some great sample food for writing. The rest of the melodic ideas came from a recent community sample pack we made for my Patreon, entitled "Loop Food". Altogether, I was up and writing songs very fast.

Once I had the Tracker Mini Aluminum, I started to figure out the arrangements. Song mode is another section where I really appreciate it over other devices; it's got quirks, but it's fast and powerful and helps me get to the finish line.

I could sort of say that about the Polyend Tracker line-up in general: it has quirks, it's occasionally fickle, but the firmware is relatively mature and it has a great combination of sound, power, and performability.

Thanks for listening.

Recorded multitrack via the Tracker Mini's USB output. Some additional sweetening on the internal synths (e.g. chorus on the pads, where noted). EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.

Synthesizer-Wettbewerb, Beitrag "Ambient Jam"

video upload by KEYBOARDS

"Ambient Jam with Polyend/Dreadbox Medusa and a few iPad apps.

A total of only 6 tracks, a simple chord progression, but with Probability/Random Notes from the Medusa and a few effects. It's all very chilled out and only using my "desktop setup" in my office. Since I usually only make music with hardware, this is a nice change and a challenge for me.

To visualize the whole thing more appealingly, I used a freely available NASA video in the background, which can be used for non-commercial purposes. The video was created with Adobe Premiere Pro. Everything else in the video, and of course the music, is mine.

I use the Medusa with Probability for melodic to whiny synth sounds, mostly with the wavetable oscillators. During recording, I play around with the filters and oscillators. The Medusa sequencer is synced to AUM by Kymatica.

I also recorded the bass beforehand using the Medusa and its analog oscillators. This is played back via the Koala sampler.

The track begins with a synth pad from Synthscraper/Igor Vasiliev

and two tracks of 'synthetic' water (one via the Koala Sampler, the other via the Spacecraft granular sampler). I tinkered around until I managed to create something reminiscent of flowing water from the noise and other sounds.

Klevgrand's Hillman, a phaser-equipped organ synth, is used to give the track a bit of a retro flair.

To increase the dynamics, Klevgrand's REAMP, a tube amp simulation, is later used.

Reverb from Eventide (BlackHole) was used except on the bass.

The mastering was done with GrandFinale 2, which was already in the signal path during recording."

Bad Gear - The One He FORGOT About

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-h*ted audio tools. Depending on whom you ask, we are either living in the golden age of music technology OR a dystopian hellscape in which true creativity is replaced with unabated consumerism. The answer is of course: YES!!!

Today we are going to talk about Synth and it might be a sign of the times that I completely forgot about receiving it as a long term loan from Polyend around 6 months ago.

Polyend Press / Sidechain Compression Explained

video upload by Polyend

"Press features complete sidechain functionality with a stereo sidechain I/O, sidechain-activated stompswitch, and high and low pass filters for the sidechain input. These filters prevent any unwanted sounds from triggering your compressor, like hi-hats on a drum track, or the sub frequenies of a boomy kick. Use both filters like a band pass to focus on one narrow frequency band, like the click from a kick, to compress your signal."

Analog Rytm mkII and friends ✨

video upload by Speldosa

"In this song, called 'Sparkle', the Analog Rytm mkII is fed into Polyend MESS, which in turn goes into the Syntakt and then finally to the Analog Heat +FX. What you hear is directly captured from the latter device."

The Polyend Mess / Multi-Glitch Effects

"Exploring glitch effects, using effects from microloopers to granular bursts to make glitchy sounds.

Mess is a four track multi-effect than can sequence four different effects simultaneously."

Polyend Pedals // MESS Step and Press

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Some things ooze quality ... welcome to the Polyend MESS, Step and Press guitar pedals. But just like my MoogerFoogers I'm not going to be stomping on them any time soon!

The MESS is a Multi Effect Step Sequencer with 4 tracks containing one of 74 on-board FX and sequenced in 16 steps.

The Step is a beats machine. Filled with 50 kits and 2000 samples and room for 1000 songs. With per step parameter setting and onboard FX, limiter and saturation it's much more than a simple drum machine.

Press is an ANALOG stereo VCA compressor (everything else I've used from Polyend has been digital), with a sidechain input, LP and HP for the sidechain plus a dry/wet mix knob and a tilt EQ. A super little desktop/stompbox compressor."
