Hello Backstage!

We’re announcing the official Polyend Tracker 1.7.1 firmware update.

FIXES

  • Playhead in Import window runs slower than audio playback after moving the endpoint
  • Time counter in the header (0m:00s) runs slower than real-time
  • Tap Tempo function is not accurately calculating the tapped tempo

  2. Copy the .ptf firmware file to your Tracker SD card > Firmware folder

After 1.7.1 update, still freezing when I scan through Radio frequencies with the jog wheel.

I also deleted the hidden workspace folder, which didn’t solve for me.

That would be expected as that issue was not part of the fixes for this particular patch.

I am dragging through the fm radiofreq on the sample recorder page on the 1.7.0 and no freezing.

Installed 1.7.1 hot fix , scrolling fast and slow through fm radiofreq and zero freeze.

What steps am I missing to replicate?

Hi @creativeunderdogs and @aaronmcfarlin , the fix for freezing when scrolling through radio frequencies is not part of this update. If you’re interested, you can follow and contribute to the topic here and we’ll inform you as soon as it gets fixed. Thanks
