Tracker's MIDI Synthesizer

Hello Everyone

Is it possible to assign 8 Tracker’s instruments to 8 MIDI channels and play instrument by choosing a MIDI channel?

Hey @pitmast ,

if you are talking about MIDI Synth Mode. Then the answer is no.
Currently only one instrument can be played at the same time.

Change Instrument via in MIDI Synth Mode

Allow changing of instruments in MIDI Synth Mode. What is the problem? The Polyend Tracker can only use a single instrument at a time when in Synth-Mode. Instruments have to be changed by Hand on the Tracker. What do you want to achieve? Send a midi message (probably Program Change), to switch Instrument via MIDI. Are there any workarounds? Switching instruments by hand. Any links to related discussions? Any references to other products? Akai S1000 maybe? In fact any hardware sampler.

Support for multitimbrality

Support “split keyboard” or multitimbrality in Polyend Tracker for both manual and MIDI notes. What is the problem? Polyend tracker has no support for splitting the keyboard / pads into different instruments. What do you want to achieve? I want to be able to assign instruments to notes or note ranges, so that I can play different instruments at the same time using the keypads or MIDI. Examples: loading a number of drumkit samples, then assigning each drum sample / instrument to a separate k…

I’ve only just worked out what the midi synthesizer function is, and now have a quick q

Is it possible to select midi synth in the record menu? (Alongide line in and radio etc)

Would really help to be able to play + record live chords and then load these up as samples, without having to program chords into the pattern and then render.

Thoughts?

That’s actually a very nice idea! I don’t think there is a Wishlist wish for something like that yet.
So feel free to create it!

Not sure if this works, but a possible workaround for now could also be a signal splitter/multiplier.
As in: Take the output of the Tracker and loop it back into the Line In.

Good shout - I will give that a go.

Will create a wish! Though i have other wishes much higher and older than this which i would prefer to see come to fruition first haha.

OK done a wishlist entry. Let’s see how we get on: Recording the Midi Synthesizer as a sample
