Polyend Tracker Silver Edition

Its vertical timeline, the powerful sequencer and the superbly playable pads in conjunction with a newly designed input interface allow music to be created and performed in a new, intuitive way.

The hexadecimal system for displaying parameter values from classic software trackers has been replaced by a decimal display with parameter names in plain text. The idea behind it was to keep the best of classic trackers (faster and easier workflow), but to optimize the previously confusing layout. After just a quick look and a few minutes with the Polyend Tracker interface, it quickly becomes clear that this project has been implemented excellently.

Tracker is armed with a large arsenal of powerful sound design tools. You can use existing sample libraries, record new samples via line or microphone input or use the built-in FM radio. The Sample Editor offers extensive post-processing options: multi-effects engine, slicer, but also wavetable and granular synthesis (including filters, ADSRs, etc.) are available to create a lively playable instrument from a sample.

Tracker is also an excellent team player: thanks to the bidirectional MIDI interface, it can be used to sequence and control external devices or as a sound module for any external MIDI software or hardware device.

The robust and compact design makes it a great companion for musicians, whether in the home studio, rehearsal room or at the next festival gig. It can be operated with any USB power source, even network-independent, for example. with a power bank.
