Best Selling Electronic Gear in 2023

Reverb's Best Selling Electronic Gear in 2023 list is up.

"Key takeaways

Clinching the top spot once again, the OP-1 has now topped our best-selling electronic gear lists for five years straight. It's perhaps an easier decision than ever to buy the tiny powerhouse. Thanks to the release of the new OP-1 Field and distance from peak-pandemic pricing, the OP-1's average used price has dropped more than $200 since January 2022. (The OP-1 Field sneaks into the top 20 this year too.)

It should be noted that a lot of folks bought Polyend Trackers this year. Back in August, Polyend cut prices on the full-sized versions, first in its official Reverb shop and then elsewhere, following the introduction of the Tracker Mini. Having not made the list at all last year, the Tracker ranks 19 in 2023—and that's after excluding purchases made from the company's Reverb shop."

You can find the full list on Reverb's site here.

First Track with Polyend Tracker Mini - "Starfall Nexus"

video upload by Electronisounds Audio

"This is the first track I made using the Polyend Tracker Mini.

Since I already knew how to use their OG Tracker ❤️, I've found the workflow on the Mini to be pretty similar - and have not missed the pads or big jogwheel very much - YAY!

The biggest difference to me is that the new Mini can load full STEREO samples and is not limited to MONO ONLY samples like the OG - SWEET!! 🤤

"We've added stereo samples to the Tracker Mini factory packs.

We've started updating our factory sample packs to Stereo. We've now added stereo versions for the House, Lofi Hip-Hop 1 & 2, and Techno packs, with more to come.

These new stereo samples can be easily found in the 'Sample Packs Stereo' folder on our website. This folder is exclusively for registered Tracker Mini owners and can be accessed in the factory SD card content in the downloads section. Register your devices on polyend.com/my-account and get access to free stuff like new sample packs and factory content.

Don't Fear the Tracker Workflow: Sequencer Comparisons

video upload by Polyend

"While trackers may initially appear intimidating with their vertical workflow, rest assured that the intuitive and visual interface of the Polyend Tracker simplifies complex sequencing tasks, offering a user-friendly experience that eliminates the barriers of use often associated with other grooveboxes."

The Elektron Syntakt is featured as well.

"I mean... it was on sale, how could I resist?
First day with the Polyend Tracker: this jam came out spontaneously while browsing the manual and familiarizing with the instrument (and the manual was mostly to double check before clicking something that could have destroyed the whole project!).
I've never used a tracker before, but everything came natural to me, with the modifiers, the lovely Fill modes (that on modular would have cost something around five million bucks), and let's be honest: the amazing design, both of the instrument and the interface.
Love it.
And probably the most 'track-like' recording I've ever put on this channel.
I hope you'll enjoy it 🧡"

40% off the Polyend Tracker

Polyend is offering 40% off their Polyend Tracker on their Reverb Shop.

Launched in 2020, the Tracker brought tracker-based sequencing into the 21st century, making it a must for musicians around the globe. Since its debut, Polyend has also released the Trakcer Mini ($699), and now, you can get the original for even less."

Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Polyend Tracker Mini. Does this successor to the original Tracker and compact sampler, sequencer, groovebox and dawless centerpiece with its gameboy controls and compact form factor even make sense or is it another hipster toy with its field recording features? Is it the "Tracker Field" as Teenage Engineering might have called it?

Thanks to Polyend for sending me a demo unit as a long term loan.

Electronic Audio Experiments - Sending Analog Delay

video upload by Sound Isles

"Sending - a digitally controlled analog delay (the long awaited sequel).

Introduction from the manual:
'Sending is an analog delay that melds the archaic voice of bucket brigade devices with a fully modern toolbox of digital control. It embraces the character and idiosyncrasies of the medium while delivering high quality sound and performance-friendly features worthy of the modern musician. Using two MN3005 BBDs and comprehensive analog processing techniques, Sending can delay a sound up to a full second without clock noise, and it can be pushed to even longer times for compelling sonic degradation. At the input is a discrete preamplifier capable of subtle enhancement or warm saturation that melds perfectly with the delay line. A dual-mode feedback filter can be used to shape the repeats for deep pulses or dub-style bright echoes. Its flexible LFO engine can modulate the delay time to create gentle movement or musical chaos. Conducting this analog ensemble is a 32-bit, 100MHz processor granting deep user control, preset functionality, and MIDI access to every parameter. Sending is our love letter to the antiquated yet enduring technology of analog delay.'

I'm back with a new demo using 'mostly' synths to demonstrate the new Sending by EAE. Gear used: Arturia Minifreak, Roland R70, Polyend Tracker, Gretsch Guitar, EAE - Halberd, Model Fet, Death By Audio - Disturbance, GFI System - Specular Tempus, Eurorack.

NAMM 2023 - Polyend - Tracker Mini

video upload by sonicstate

"Polyend has launched its latest product at NAMM 2023, the Tracker Mini, a more powerful and efficient version of the original Tracker. Alison from Polyend describes the new product as a portable DAW with a microphone on board, allowing users to record their samples on the fly. The Tracker Mini features upgraded hardware, a built in battery with around eight hours of battery life, and more memory than the original Tracker. It also includes stereo samples, better clock stability, lower latency, and is more efficient.

The Tracker Mini is small and portable, and allows users to easily crop, edit, save, and load their recorded samples into their projects. The Tracker Mini also includes a micro-move function, randomization effects, and typical effects processing like multi band filtering, delay, reverb, and bit crushing, all at note-level.

Available now for pre-orders on the Polyend website. Shipping from July 12th 2023

Price: 699 USD"

Polyend Tracker Mini at NAMM 2023

"Maybe it's the nostalgic pull of a Game Boy-like device. Maybe it's that the fan-favorite Tracker's sampling and sequencing is now packed into the size of a toy. But Polyend's Tracker Mini has already won over everyone's hearts."
