Hello, I own M8 and Tracker Mini, both are different devices even if they are trackers… but, I see myself using the “Tables” function a lot in the Dirtywave, there is something similar to use in my Polyend Mini? Any advice or tip? ---

we absolutely need something like this, or anything to make it such that you can have some more controlled randomness and also the possibility to run longer patterns alongside a main loop. tables (also have a m8), trig conditions like in elektron boxes, different speeds per track…running multiple patterns at once like a DAW, anything! this device is so close to perfect, and this feels so artificial. ---

_1843, musicians want Polyend to create M8, in color._ ---

While i agree that tables are pretty nifty. With all due respect… the tracker does not _need_ it. A combination of automation and step effects can get you a long way (if you put some arm grease into creating/copying/editing patterns). All it needs is more flexibility in the automation and chance section and there is plenty of wishes for it: - [A:B conditions for each sequencer pass](https://backstage.polyend.com/t/a-b-conditions-for-each-sequencer-pass/909) - [Secondary / Enhanced Chance Step FX](https://backstage.polyend.com/t/secondary-enhanced-chance-step-fx/2564) - [Change Envelope Automation Values via StepFX](https://backstage.polyend.com/t/change-envelope-automation-values-via-stepfx/4361) - [Expand Instrument Automations and Step FX](https://backstage.polyend.com/t/expand-instrument-automations-and-step-fx/2595) - [Step FX for: Automation LFO Amount](https://backstage.polyend.com/t/step-fx-for-automation-lfo-amount/5502) - [User-Assignable Instrument Automation Destinations](https://backstage.polyend.com/t/user-assignable-instrument-automation-destinations/3338) Go vote on any of them. 💪 If you feel tables would be better, feel free to create a #Draft wishes entry 😊 ---

Tables are SUPER useful for make easy and cool things (for example a random octave up, I use this feature a lot in my Polyend Play +), without consuming effects or resources. ---
