“I had never used a tracker before, but since its announcement, the Polyend Tracker caught my eye and…oh boy! It has exceeded my expectations from Day One!”
“Therefore, when Ziv Eliraz aka Loopop announced a contest back in September 2021, in which you had to create a track using only samples from showcased synthesizers on Superbooth 2021, I encouraged myself to make a full track on the Polyend Tracker.”

The said track wasn’t too complex, but it helped me to get acquainted with some of the newly available tools on the Tracker. I built the track up from a Waldorf M sample and kept on adding layers from there. Some of the processes in the track production went as followed:
– Waldorf M sample with a long attack on volume envelope for an increased sidechain effect.
– Nymphes sample with an arpeggiator FX and an LFO modulation applied on panning.
– Nymphes sample with a euclidean fill on track 8.
– Hydrasynth sample with a very long attack on volume envelope and high reverb.
– Master Limiter with a sidechain on the kick track (6m0d6 sample).
Finally, when I had the entire structure of the track laid down, I took care of mixing inside the box and exported the project to Ableton, where the mastering took place. I had a blast doing this track, so I hope you enjoy it as well and feel free to download the project file and mess with it!”
