Polyend Tracker Mini Sequencer
evidenza
Descrizione
Quite a while back, the Polyend Tracker was unleashed on the world: a specialised desktop groovebox that boasted phenomenal tracking and since became the unit that many a producer literally grew up with. Because the original model came loaded with so many buttons and controls, it was limited to in-studio use, but now, with the release of the all-new Polyend Tracker Mini, musicians and producers are offered something far more compact and easy to travel with.
The Polyend Tracker Mini
Don't let yourself be fooled by the word 'Mini', because what lies under the hood of this slimmed down groovebox is anything but mini. In fact, this smaller tracker actually offers a bit more than the larger Polyend Tracker. There is now a built-in rechargeable battery; a built-in microphone; more onboard memory space; a bigger sample memory; stereo sampling support and support for audio over USB. Above all, this unit comes pre-wrapped in a protective hard case - fully confirming that it's been set up for mobile producing or even touring. Of course, since this is the Mini edition, a few details had to be trimmed away, but they're minimal. So, this unit doesn't come with the integrated FM radio that the original did, it no longer has backlit buttons, the jog wheel has been removed and the display screen is a little bit smaller (it is still 5 inches wide), but if you can live with these small tweaks then the Polyend Tracker Mini might just be your new go-to production buddy.
What is a Tracker?
To keep things simple: a tracker is a sort of two-dimensional grid divided into tracks onto which notes can be placed. In terms of navigation and the way of thinking, it's a actually a bit like a spreadsheet. Where a standard DAW program has a similar thought-process behind it as a tape-machine, where real-time recordings plays an important role, the tracker is a much more nerdy way of writing score. Classical musicians who want to place notes in precisely the right place without needing a metronome will probably find they work much better with a tracker than they'd first expect. Another hallmark of trackers is that they allow you to place notes incredibly quickly, much like typing a chunk of text into a word processor. This is the difference between a tracker and any standard DAW, where the interface is designed with a focus on using a mouse, and supported by masses of graphic menus while an experienced tracker user will simply type their notes in with the kind of rapid keyboard chatter worthy of a '50s newspaper reporter on the edge of a deadline.

Fantastisch apparaat om mee te reizen.
Enerzijds dwingt het creativiteit af vanwege de vele beperkingen (als je normaliter gewend bent aan een DAW en hardware instrumenten). Anderzijds is het apparaat echt niet zo beperkt als je in eerste instantie zou vermoeden (firmware update 2+ aangeraden aangezien deze 4 synthesizer engines toevoegt aan je arsenaal).
Als je bekend met trackers is de instapcurve laag, afgezien van het leren van de specifieke toetsencombinaties. Zodra deze eenmaal in je geheugen zitten kun je ontzettend snel ideeën uitschetsen.
Great little device if you like the tracker workflow. Well built (but a bit of a fingerprint magnet). The buttons are more quiet than clicky (important if you plan to use it while your significant other is asleep). If all the features of the Tracker+ gets ported as Polyend promised, this really becomes a portable mini-workstation.
