Polyend Tracker

Polyend Tracker is an innovative, inspiring and immediate musical instrument. It combines the essential features of a classic tracker with the possibilities of current sound design. Its vertical timeline, powerful sequencer and excellent playable pads combined with a redesigned 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The hexadecimal system for displaying parameter values from classic software trackers has been replaced by a decimal display with parameter name in plain text. The idea behind this was to keep the best of classic trackers (fast and effortless 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 was excellently implemented.

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: Multieffect Engine, Slicer, but also Wavetable and Granular Synthesis (including filters, ADSRs, etc.) are available to create a vividly playable instrument from a sample.

Tracker is also an excellent team player: Thanks to its bi-directional 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.
