Utilisation super simple
Wasm 17.06.2024
C'est mon premier tracker hardware.

Bien que le nombre de tracks soient limités, il y a ce qu'il faut pour produire des sons complets, l'utilisation est vraiment intuitive.

Les tracks synthesizers sont vraiment sympa et apporte un plus, autre que les samples.

Personnellement j'aurai aimé avoir le choix de 16 tracks de samples et/ou de synthesizers et une vraie connectique sans adaptateurs.

Le prix est globalement correct.

intuitiv und inspirierend
jeenz 16.08.2024
Ich bin bereits seit einiger Zeit Polyend Tracker (erste Generation) User und empfinde dieses Gerät als eine so große Bereicherung in meiner Produktion, das ich es nicht mehr weg denken kann.

Der PT Plus ist jetzt nur noch die Krönung, Stereo Samples und Klangerzeugung in dieser kleinen Kiste sind einfach unglaublich geniale Zusätze, die mir ein Lächeln ins Gesicht zaubern. Auch die Möglichkeit, externe mehrspuhr Aufnahmen zu machen ist einfach so geil. Ich hab das Gefühl Polyend hat viel Feedback bekommen und hat tatsächlich Leuten zugehört und dann alle Kritikpunkte auch noch umgesetzt.

Fazit
Um kreativ zu sein ist das Gerät für mich unschlagbar gut. Es bietet den für mich den genauen Grad an Möglichkeiten um zu experimentieren, jedoch nicht zuviel. Es gibt auf jeden Fall noch Bugs in der Software vor allem in der Synth Sektion, das kann manchmal schon nervig sein aber temporär verkraftbar. Polyend macht tatsächlich viele Updates und ist immer bemüht Fehler zu verbessern. Der Sound ist natürlich nicht highend, aber alle Male besser als bei anderen Instrumenten in dieser Preisklasse. Die zusätzlichen Midi Spuren bringen zusätzliche Möglichkeiten für externe Geräte. Ich benutze z.B. ein MRCC 880 um mehrere ext Geräte anzusteuern, das bedeutet ich kann den Tracker+ als Center nutzen. Ich Steuere mein Modular System damit an und zusätzliche Effektpedale.

Ich empfehle den Tracker Plus, allen den Menschen die im Bereich IDM, Breakcore, Jungle.. aber auch im LoFi Bereichen arbeiten, denn dafür sehe ich die größten Potenziale, kann aber prinzipiell natürlich auch alles andere.

Love it or hate it
sipma 04.07.2024
Grew up playing with trackers and i love the workflow. The lack of unlimited tracks, 1 sample but 2 fx per step give me such a nice new way of making music again. Having to many options in general is not a good thing for a creative process. You end up with way more creative stuff when you are limited and get nice accidental patterns. The clicky sounds of the buttons are somewhat hard but feel great.
In all cases i would not do any mixing on this thing, except for levels, fx, panning and maybe some filtering. Most other options are there but it requires a bit more menu diving. But when it's final, it's final. And then you wont be spending hours messing around with a sound/sample instead of just making music (and that's what you should do). Quick decisions and roll with it is the best way to describe this device. If you are a "regular" DAW user and are not familiar with trackers, maybe watch some video's on it first. Because it will probably be not for you.

Oh and you can use it like the tracker mini if you have a USB c to c cable. Your phone can then be used as a powerbank and midikeyboard...just so nice, i take it to the park with me.

Currently leaves a lot to be desired
Yukio 21.08.2024
I love the idea behind a beefed up Tracker but currently the Tracker Plus has some bugs that as a bare minimum should have been caught before releasing it. Crackling input, hanging notes and a number of other bugs are just not good enough for such an expensive product. Also the bottom part of the enclosure is cheap plastic and the back text of the I/O is not marked and barely visible. I own the first Tracker and it was all metal and with clear white text on the I/O. Feels like a downgrade. I personally will be selling my device if a firmware that fixed the bugs are not being released within next 2 months.

Usually, when I edit a sample in a DAW, I play the track or all tracks and adjust the effects, parameters, etc., while listening to ensure the changes are as I want them. I can remove distortion, add a bit of echo, then change the distortion and remove the echo—any way I wish. I can also revert one step or all steps.

With Tracker+, I must first stop the pattern, go to edit the sample, apply changes, save them, and then leave the sample editor to play the pattern and see if I made the changes I wanted.

When you exit the sample editor, there is no way to undo changes you made. If it doesn't sound right, you have to reload the entire sample and start over! What a ridiculous way to edit samples.

The more I use this device, the more overpriced it seems. Even just using the EQ, why can't there be a simple one screen 24-channel EQ? Why force the user to navigate through three pages just to adjust the EQ? The device is full of these kinds of weird design choices. After a week, I think I will send it back due to squeaky buttons and weird/ unfinished/ illogical UI. Also the whole thing just freezes here and there, it does restart to the same state but hey 800€ for this. No way.

Ecran blanc
otepsia 23.07.2024
L'appareil que j'ai reçu refuse de démarrer : l'écran reste blanc et la machine ne réagit pas.
J'ai possédé plusieurs instruments Elektron, un OP-1, un Novation Circuit et un Deluge sans jamais avoir le moindre problème. Je ne peux pas croire que Polyend vende une machine 800 € sans tester chaque unité avec soin, c'est inadmissible...
