of inspiration
Polyend Tracker is equipped with a variety of powerful sound design tools. Use samples from your existing library, record new ones with line or mic inputs, or use the built-in FM radio. Record samples, play them, slice them, mash them, or even make a synth out of them using Wavetable and Granular synthesis with all its necessary parts (filters, ADSRs, etc.)
The team player
Polyend Tracker works great with other instruments too. Thanks to its bidirectional MIDI implementation you can use it to sequence and control external gear. It can also be used as a sound module controlled by any external MIDI software or hardware devices.
The new classic
Don't be fooled by the classic tracker look. While maintaining the original quick and straightforward workflow, the Polyend Tracker is armed with an updated arsenal of sonic weapons. Automatic filling, randomizer, probability, selection rendering, effects per step, live recording, batch parameters editing, micro-tuning, micro-timing, rolls and many more give you the tools to be endlessly creative. Compatibility with MOD files allows you to import and finish tracks from back-in-the-days or export and finalize them in modern software trackers.

Barker on Polyend Tracker (Test 1)
Been having a lot of fun testing out the new Tracker from Polyend, today playing with the wavetable sampler, a few sliced drum breaks and some textures sampled from the built-in radio.
-
“I've worked with trackers for 30 years, The Tracker is a dream! Wet dream? Fever dream? You decide.”
-
“My next record will be postponed to 2038, i'm drowned in micro editing tempo and flame changes by step. I love this machine. Thanks for screwing up my career POLYEND!”
-
“I’ve been all about the fill function, randomly generating patterns is great, especially within restricted parameters like scale/range of samples it can pull from. I’ve practically written an entire album just experimenting with that alone.”
-
“After one week with the Polyend Tracker I feel like a teenager again. This is the authentic tracking experience, all in a little device. So much fun!"
-
“It is equally simple and complex. It is old school and new school. It makes me feel like a kid again, building patterns and songs from infinite sound sources and inspiration.”
-
“The Tracker beautifully merges a classic, powerful sequencer style with the instant gratification of a tweakable desktop tool resulting in a fun, addictive experience that literally keeps me writing music without exhaustion.”
-
“It is one of the most unique new hardware sequencers I have come across. Having the ability to throw in random probability is absolutely mind-boggling. I haven't had this much fun sequencing on hardware in years!”
-
“The Polyend Tracker is hands down one of the most fun new instruments I've had the opportunity to work with; everything is so immediate. It's so easy to import samples, and the built-in FM antenna tops it off.”
-
“The tracker in just a few days has already affected my ideas and workflow. It is beautiful, simple machine which makes me want to take long train rides just to make more music away from a studio.”
-
“Tracker has such a nice physical feel. The buttons are very fast and the jog wheel is big and comfortable. I love how the slim and compact design features a huge screen which makes it easy to edit and see a lot of information at once.”
-
“Tracker arrives at just the right time. As producers we need to hear the world from other angles, break out from tried tired routines, and reinvent ourselves (much less our parameters).”
-
“Funky, funny, groovy little beast… just take it everywhere.”
-
"If you make Jungle, you need one of these. Chopping breaks in this thing is not only real fun but it sounds brilliant. Also, there's a built in radio... WHAT!!!"
-
“I've been looking at a hardware solution to compose extremely precise and broken drum beats away from a computer screen for a long time, this is why I jumped on Tracker. It doubles as a very capable midi sequencer as well and will probably become the command center of my studio.”
