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.

"Dissolve Into The Sound" | 110bpm Laid-Back Beats 😎
video upload by Electronisounds Audio
"I've been super busy lately making new sound banks for Electronisounds.
It's been quite a while since I've made some actual music, so I put together this live track based around the Electribe ESX-1 and Polyend Step (the machines I've just finished new sound banks for).
Here's what each device is doing in the setup:
Electribe ESX-1 - Dub Chords, Bass, Percussion
Eventide Micro Pitch Delay Pedal - Processing extra Dub Chords from ESX-1 output 2
1010 Blackbox - Vocal samples
Polyend Step - Main drums
Arturia MiniFreak - Synth pad
Polyend Tracker Plus - Percussion loops, FX noises, more Dub Chords and extra textures
Roland TR8s - Ride cymbal, shaker, snare layer

4 jams with the Arturia MiniFreak
video upload by Stazma
"It's been a while I'm sitting on this video and decided to upload it today for no special reason.
I had a lot of fun playing around with the Minifreak that the guys at Arturia kindly sent me when I was asked to do some teaching sessions with it early this year.
Each jam is using another synth / machine to play along or sequence it."

OXI One | SYNTHRX II by Erica Synths ~ Sound Demo ~ (no talking)
video upload by Elektortek
"Wauw! This was a joyful experience testing out my OXI One sequencer with Erica Synths' SYNTRX II. Short sound demo, so many options for manipulating the beautiful sequence that rolled out of my head, before I started to record.
End part is a bit more experimental pushing the sounds from noisy and distorted to more quiet and airy.Next step add some drums with the Polyend Tracker 2!
Enjoy!

Live jam with the Polyend Tracker Mini
video upload by Jay Hosking
"A live synthesizer jam performed entirely on hardware.
I'm going to just say it: the Polyend Tracker Mini (or maybe Tracker+) is currently the best all-in-one groovebox going. Eight stereo sample tracks, eight voices of internal synths across three timbres, up to eight MIDI tracks, great onboard effects, battery powered, very portable, USB multitrack audio recording, and fantastic performance effects. This thing rules.
To celebrate the 2.0 software release, which brings the Mini and + to parity, minus the differences in hardware, I put together this piece. I'm very, very happy with the results. The Tracker is an extremely inspiring platform for me.
There are shortcomings to the Tracker platform, namely bugs and promised features that haven't been implemented yet; seriously, Polyend, you gotta get those performance effects for the Play+ synths if you're going to promise them to users, let alone the Tracker+ and Tracker Mini! But the bugs, while annoying if you don't know about them, are manageable once you do know about them, and I tend not to buy devices like the Mini for its potential firmware updates. When I bought the Mini, it was a stereo sampler, and now it's a stereo sampler with eight voices of internal synth polyphony, so Polyend is offering amazing updates. I just try not to think of what a thing is missing.
Anyway, thanks for listening.
Recorded to multitrack audio via USB (what a feature!), with a little treatment to the synths (as noted in the video), and with EQ/compression/limiting on the master.
