Could you please elaborate on what you mean by that?
Hi, I thought my reply was rhetorical. Do you want me to explain why Akai, Elektron and Roland would have been out of business, if they handled bug reports in same manner?
Is this, where you reply, âPolyend is a small teamâ to my question above? <that card is already used.
Would these issues have been fixed already, if there were more focus on Updates instead of pushing new products, which also pollute the forum with new feature and bug reports?
In my country we say âYou should not put more food on the plate than you can eatâ

I just wanted to know what you meant by back-land, but thanks for telling me how I am going to reply.
You are welcome, the feedback pattern from mods here is very repetitiv in regard to those questions.

Yes, I promised a Polyend update every quarter, which I will post this month. As for transparent communication, as Iâve said repeatedly:
- We arenât sharing roadmaps
- We arenât sharing timelines, they would be a guess and likely wrong.
Otherwise the news is the same, these updates are actively being worked on.
Also a reminder - the moderators are volunteers doing this in their free time so remember to follow the community guidelines and be respectful in all communications, I wonât tolerate rudeness to moderators.

I donât have an issue with new product lines, just as long as we always have the Tracker, Iâm kind obsessed with it, and itâs my core sequencer for everything I do.
Iâm probably a little more patient as far as patch updates, but I sure appreciate them when they become available.
Besides that, it would be interesting to see some new effects or unique tools later on down the track.
That said I donât want it bloated with features either, I like having to think outside the box and explore.
So any enhancements would be better kept as minimal but well thought out fixes or new features

How do you define the difference between ânew featuresâ and "essential missing features?
Example:
- The ability to delete files, which you dont like?
- The ability to export / render a pattern to audio in a not incorrect BPM or pitch.

Well it could be one, or both.
Whatever it may be, itâs got to provide utility but not hand you everything on a platter.
But thatâs just me.
Whatever it is would need some thought put into it and not just an update for the sake of having an update.
But thatâs as far as adding something new.
Is this firmware something that is still being developed? I have a few days on the return window of my Tracker+ and I am inclined make use of itâŚ
Its still in development, though no timeline for release date yet. Probably few months ahead.
Agreed, the input and output nomenclature should be in relation to the Tracker. USB Output should output from the Tracker. USB Input should input to the tracker.

I also noted this and was very confused the first few times I tracked out myâŚtracks. Eventually I just made the correction in my mind, but it should definitely be the other way around!

Fair enough - but changing it now - Wouldnât that make it even more confusing?
It has been 6 months since this beta is out⌠not enough developers to keep the ball going?
The product still crashes like there is no tomorrow, synths, 20+ samples, full hangs etc⌠I am on my second Polyend Tracker+ and multiple SD cards
@juansacco First welcome to the community, nice to have you here!
I am also working daily on the PT+ and had none of the issues you mentioned. Currently using a sandisk extreme pro 512gb with 498000 samples.
Can you please specify what bugs you encounter so we log them in the bug report category?
I can surely do that, but honestly I find extremely hard to believe you have 512gb and 498000 samples on you PT+ use it daily and had none of the issues I mentioned.
Unless of course I got two separate units, latest one directly ordered from Polyend, with exactly the same issues, meaning defective hardware.
The beta does crash less than the original 1.0 version, the original firmware was right-off-the-bat unusable because of the crashes, but still I get the hangs that are super annoying using synths at random, loading too many samples, etc.
I would like to know if there is any roadmap, or whatâs the future of the PT+ because 6 months after the release of the beta and going radio silent is not great.
Yes, i have that many samples, its my master library and the tracker is by far the easiest device when it comes to file management. No matter if you have 20 or 1m samples, it just works with no system crashes or anything.
And no, i did not run into bugs and i am notorious in filing bug reports 
It sounds you are constantly running into issues, so please give me one reproducable example, reporting bugs really helps the developers.
