Tracker 1.9.0 partially fulfills the most popular backstage feature request by adding 4 more MIDI tracks, for a total of 12 tracks. 1.9 also includes important bug fixes.
NEW FEATURES
- Pattern extension with 4 additional MIDI tracks
- MIDI can now be sequenced on 12 tracks in total
- Partially fulfilling the wish: 8 tracks of MIDI and 8 tracks of audio
- Added Destination to each FX Description dialog window
- Instrument Synthesizer functionality (on Instrument Parameters/Effects screen) was renamed to Instrument MIDI Mapping to differentiate from actual Synth instruments in the Tracker+
FIXES
- Changing Patterns or switching between the Perform and Pattern pages caused Pattern 0 to load
- Restarting the unit did not save the changed Track names along with the Project
- Disappearing of the steps after using specific Fill Notes settings or scales while navigating through the Pattern Editor. Additionally, in this state, it was sometimes impossible to manually edit pattern steps, and it could cause freezing
- Rendering the selection on the Pattern page resulted in a long silence at the end of the sample
- The Render Selection feature in the pattern editor has been redesigned to create a sharp cut at the start and end of the selection. This contrasts with the Export Song/Pattern function, which retains the old behavior and keeps the tails of samples and effects. If you want to include the tails when rendering, simply extend the selection accordingly
- Pressing Sample Recorder and then Sample Editor during playback disabled the Cancel screen button
- Pattern length FX in Perform mode did not function properly when set to a value of 128 steps. It reverted the number of steps to the original value
- Hanging MIDI Notes while using pads and external keyboards
Tracker Mini 2.0.1 adds several bug fixes, smoothing out the new 2.0 workflow.
FIXES
- Rendering the selection on the Pattern page resulted in a long silence at the end of the sample

This contrasts with the Export Song/Pattern function, which retains the old behavior and keeps the tails of samples and effects. If you want to include the tails when rendering, simply extend the selection accordingly
- Previewing samples on the Pattern page, while the cursor was located on one of the MIDI #9-16 tracks, caused the Preview function in the Sample Playback page to break.
- Hanging of the MIDI and Synth Notes while using an external keyboard
- Problem with Backspace (Shift+Delete) not acting on events below the 32nd Step on MIDI #9-16 Tracks
This Tracker+ 1.0.2 firmware update adds Synth engine performance options and crucial bug fixes for smoother synth operation.
NEW FEATURES
- Performance FXs for Synths:
- Separate FXs including Delay/Reverb sends and 6 Macros for all 3 synths
- cosmetic updates to existing Sample Instrument / MIDI perform FX
- All synth Init patch macros are now unipolar (Bipolar = Off)

- Disappearing steps after using specific Fill Notes settings/scales, while navigating through the Pattern Editor. Additionally, in this state sometimes it wasn’t possible to manually edit pattern steps and Tracker could also freeze completely
- Pattern length FX in Perform mode did not function properly when set to a value of 128 steps.
- Render & Load samples were loaded in mono (if used immediately after rebooting the device)
- Breaking of the Preview in Sample Playback page. Caused by previewing Samples on the Pattern page, while the cursor was located on one of the MIDI #9-16 Tracks
- Previewing samples on the Pattern page, while the cursor was located on one of the MIDI tracks 9-16, caused the Preview function in the Sample Playback page to break.
- Hanging of MIDI and Synth Notes while using pads and external keyboards
- Multiple issues when Synth Macros were not reset or initialized correctly (in cases such as after loading or previewing patches, starting/stopping playback, changing Macro polarity, loading or starting a new project, etc)
- When Synth Parameters and Macros were used as pattern FX, they didn’t reset after playback was stopped. Instead, they would keep the last sequenced pattern FX values.
- Duplicating or expanding short patterns on the 9-16th MIDI tracks resulted in corrupted pattern data and freezing
