Polyend Tracker+ is a powerful 16-track standalone hardware sequencer and synthesiser workstation, combining advanced sampling, synthesis, MIDI sequencing, stereo audio, and USB connectivity in a compact, upgraded format. Expanded Sequencing Capabilities With 16 total tracks, eight tracks support sampling and sequencing, while the additional eight are dedicated to internal synthesiser engines or external MIDI instruments, offering intricate and layered compositions directly on the device. Stereo Workflow The entire audio pipeline is fully stereo, including sample recording, granular and wavetable synthesis, sample slicing, playback, and USB audio transmission. This enhancement significantly improves the sonic fidelity and depth of produced material. Advanced Synth Engines Tracker+ introduces four distinct synthesiser engines—ACD, FAT, VAP, and WTFM—each with its own architectural focus, ranging from monophonic analog emulations and lush virtual analog polysynths to wave-table-driven FM synthesis. Each engine includes a bank of high-quality presets and is editable via the Synth Patch Editor, which allows deep parameter control and macro assignment. Drum Machine Instrument PERC, the new built-in drum machine engine, allows the creation of everything from classic 808/909-style hits to contemporary glitch-driven percussion, expanding Tracker+'s role as a rhythm production tool. Hardware Upgrades The updated hardware features a faster microcontroller, increased memory capacity, and a more robust construction. The device now includes a reinforced jog wheel, rubber-dome step buttons, and mechanical gaming-style switches for frequently used functions, significantly improving tactile feedback and durability. Interface and Workflow The workflow is centred around an intuitive grid of silicon backlit pads that adapt to different editing modes, a large high-resolution colour screen for clear visual feedback, and a dedicated control layout with labelled buttons, contextual controls, and a rotary encoder. Users can edit, sequence, arrange, mix, and master entire tracks without menu-diving. Sampling and Sound Design Tools Tracker+ provides comprehensive sampling tools, including a sample editor, sample slicing, beat slicing, looping modes, granular playback, wavetable scanning, and real-time effects. Samples can be recorded, imported from the included 3600-sample SD library, or manipulated with filters, LFOs, panning, and custom effects chains. The device also supports resampling of steps or full sequences for creative layering. DAW Integration and Project Compatibility With 14 stereo USB audio tracks and project rendering options, Tracker+ integrates seamlessly with DAWs for recording or post-production. Projects remain fully compatible with Tracker Mini 2.0, ensuring uninterrupted workflows between mobile and studio setups. Complete Album Production Tool Tracker+ includes a song arranger, a full-featured mixer, mastering tools with EQ, limiter, saturation, reverb, and delay, as well as per-track controls and routing options. Artists can produce, mix, master, and export entire albums within a single device, from sound creation to final output.
