I'm so glad you make all those Polyend Tracker videos. Got one since a few days and your videos really help a lot to learn about synthesis on the machine + all those little workflow tips. Regarding MIDI: Maybe you could help me with a MIDI in question: I would like to trigger 3 instruments inside the Tracker (let's say instrument 1-3 Kick, Snare, HiHat) through drum pads which I connect via MIDI in. But even when I'm in the instrument column / mode, the Tracker will only play one instrument and pitch the instrument's sample according to the incoming MIDI note, instead of playing one instrument / sample for each MIDI note (it plays the instrument which I selected last via the Tracker pads). So do you know if it's possible to trigger multiple instruments through different MIDI notes or maybe CC messages? So that external pads behaves similar to the Tracker pads in instrument mode = each pad is a different instrument? Any help would be very much appreciated!
@@Stazma Thanks for your answer and effort :) Meanwhile I found out that it's possible with Beat Slice, so each Slice corresponds to a MIDI note and thus can be played on external pads. But one would have to have all desired samples in a single wav-file, e.g. a drum loop with kick, snare, hihat chopped. At least it's a workaround and one could prepare a wav accordingly with own samples (for live performance for example)...
@@bahutu802 It's probably the only work around. Or you could midi map your controller to play each pad on a different channel, so you could do this across the eight tracks I guess. But the beat slice is probably better anyway.
@@Stazma Ok, thanks again! It's a bit sad because it would be great to just finger-drum a bit to get a feel for the beat pattern I'm going for in a particular song. Whatever, the Tracker has so many advantages over other machines, so it would be weird if there were no downsides at all, and maybe it will be implemented in the future :) And it's of course still possible to use the Tracker's pad themselves.
Nan mais la puissance de la machine est juste hallucinante. Je suis en pleine recherche d'une groovebox complète (sample, sequencer, soundl pr de la synthwave en priorité, est ce le choix utile ?
Love it! thank you!
Glad you enjoyed !

Can't help you with that straight away but i'm not sure what you want to do is possible to be honest. I'll take a look at it tomorow.

ok j'hésitais avec l'octatrack mais le polyend est juste beaucoup trop sympa avec l'utilisateur, elle a quasi tout pour bcp moins cher.

Si tu peut passer outre les limitations de la machine évoqué dans la vidéo c'est une bonne option (pour tout style de musique electronique en fait).
