Sometimes I wonder why they keep making new trackers when the OG is still broken it’s kinda stuck in endless beta….
Any decent sequencer now had trig conditions, it’s so tedious to make a really long evolving sequence, I have to glue together 8x128 beat patterns in song mode!?
If it simply has the power to have polyrhythms (different length tracks in same sequence), this would at least be a work around. Any sequencer worth it’s PCB’s these days can do this. You choose the amount of steps AND beats per bar. Trig conditions plus polyrhythms would make this the perfect sequencer.
Also: the performance mode is not easy or logical to use.
I cannot send midi to my synth and record that, it’s only sampling or rendering.
You cannot copy and paste note information from a sample instrument to midi
It’s not easy to quicky navigate between the samples tracks and the 4 midi tracks.
I cannot simply delete or duplicate or find an already used sample!? (Maybe use the delete /copy keys to delete/copy/paste stuff universally?)
There are more glaringly obviously missing things such as I cannot adjust the sensitivity when beat chopping (every sampler in the know universe has this). And bugs that have been around since it was created and still not addressed. Considering it’s a team of people in an international company you would think they would simply fix / add them.
I can see why the used market is filled with them, it’s not the flawed encoder, or that it’s a bad idea, it’s just not finished!
It’s so close to being perfect!
I’m gonna buy a Dirtywave M8, hardware made by one man that does everything the polyend can’t. Which also makes no sense…
Yeah perhaps we have a different way to defining broken. I see some feature requests, I see you expressing some frustrations. I see 1 bug with a very easy workaround. I see nothing broken.
I assure you from 2020, I could name 10x the amount of sequencers that didn’t have trig conditions compared to those that did It’s a “nice to have” feature request, nothing broken
ditto my previous statement. Personally, I’m with you. The one thing I would like the most on the tracker is independant track lengths in a pattern. Regardless, it’s a nice to have feature request, nothing broken
This most likely is a bug (thanks for reporting it), but the easy workaround is to duplicate a sample-track, select the Instrument lane, and change it to a midi channel.
Hey man, you have every right to have an opinion, but that’s a far-cry from something being broken.
You’re going to be equally disappointed with the M8 Again, nothing broken.
For every Tracker on the used market, there are about 20 Elektron devices. A device that sells a lot at retail = you’ll see more of them on the used market. Of course there is also a flood of OG’s on the market since the plus came out. Nothing broken here either.
You are going to buy the M8 because it does some things you wished the Polyend Tracker did. After a week or 2 you might then realize the things the Polyend Tracker does that the M8 simply doesn’t do, and you’ll likely be in the same spot as you are now. Don’t get me wrong, the M8 is a great Tracker, very deep and super fun but you really have to be willing to learn and go down a rabbit hole. It’s very deep and challenging to program, but if you put your time and energy into it, you will be well rewarded.
It’s a “nice to have” feature request, nothing broken
Again, nothing broken.
