The highly-acclaimed Polyend Tracker has evolved.
Tracker Mini is a portable, standalone audio workstation with eight tracks to sequence stereo audio and MIDI, audio-over-USB functionality, a built-in battery and microphone, gamepad quality buttons and a host of sampling and sound design tools. With an improved user interface, more memory, stereo sampling, and performance enhancements, Polyend have made it even more powerful.
Like Tracker, but more
Polyend have refined the signal path to provide more headroom and pristine stereo audio playback. Additionally, we’ve added genre-specific sample packs pre-designed by professional artists to help you get started making music faster. The sampling time has been increased to four times the capacity of the original Tracker, and the audio over USB and USB MIDI make it perfect for hybrid setups. You can add individual track effects, record directly to your laptop, or mix and master in your DAW. The included travel case will keep your Tracker safe while you do what you love in new places.
Studio in your hands
Tracker Mini has all the necessary tools to create an album, whether you want to start with the included sample pack or record your own. You can convert samples to instruments, control external devices, create simple or complex compositions, mix tracks, master, and export songs. The Mini has got you covered.
