@echoforms yes the S1 can be cool too. I do have the T8 which is similar. It’s less versatile in terms of sound design than the S1. If this wishlist item ever comes true though : > [@Tracker Mini: Play+ Synth Engines](https://backstage.polyend.com/t/tracker-mini-play-synth-engines/6798): > > This wish asks to bring the Synth Engines found on the Play+ to the Polyend Tracker Mini. We assume that the CPU of the Tracker Mini has sufficient resources/headroom to run these synth engines alongside the sample-based tracks currently available. Otherwise stripped down versions, or an implementation where the engine locks multiple tracks to get the necessary resources would be acceptable. What is the problem? Currently the Tracker is only a sample based groovebox. You cannot really … then even a T8 would fit perfectly πŸ˜‰ There is also this wishlist items for using the 8 under the screen buttons for keys 🎹 : > [@Alternate Note Entry Mode](https://backstage.polyend.com/t/alternate-note-entry-mode/5942): > > What is the problem? Currently (as of Mini Firmware 1.0.0), the only way to add Notes is by using the +/- Buttons on the Tracker Mini. This wish proposes an alternate input method that could be used for note entry. What do you want to achieve? Add an additional entry mode that could maybe make note entry more natural and quicker. This could be achieved by using the 8 screen keys to display a chromatic keyboard and using the Shift key as a modifier to show the sharps. See the mockups provided b… would basically make the mini fully autonomous, we would then only lack a few knobs πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ --- _[View the full topic](https://backstage.polyend.com/t/korg-nts-1-mk2-best-companion-for-tracker-mini/9334)._
