One plus for hex numbers in 4/4 music is that it is base 16, so the digit rolls over after 16 steps - 0 to F for the first bar, then the next bar is 10 to 1F etc. Quite intuitive once you get your head around it.

Maybe it's already written in another comment, anyways: Regarding 14:07 'Sample is too long'. With the newer firmware, they added an import functionality to just load a portion of a sample into RAM. And in case you realize that you only need a portion of the sample, but already loaded and worked with the full one: When you replace/overwrite a sample, all instrument parameters like LPF, oscillators etc. will be preserved, so you could overwrite the sample with its shorter version (via import function) without loosing anything.

Agreed and like it says in the manual, "This allows for easy alignment with music: bars will always start with pattern steps 00, 10, 20, 30 and so on. Each bar’s quarternote beat steps end with the digits ..0, ..4, ..8, and ..C." So you actually end up doing less math once you've memorized that.

To understand hexadecimal, it helps to understand "regular"/base-10 numbers. When you have multiple digits (ex: 123), you can break it down into a sum of simpler numbers: 100 + 20 + 3. That can be broken down into a sum of products, or multiplications: (1 x 100) + (2 x 10) + (3 x 1), or (1 x 10^2) + (2 * 10^1) + (1 * 10^0). (Math reminder: any number raised to the 0th power equals 1.) Notice that in the last form, the exponent of the 10 decreases in each position? That's what the 10s, 100s, 1000s "place" really means. Hexadecimal works the same way but with 16 instead of 10, so if we use the same example, 0x123 = (1 x 16^2) + (2 x 16^1) + (3 x 16^0) = 291. Now, what do the letters mean? Well, if we only had 0x0 to 0x9 to work with, then we would be missing a bunch of numbers between 0x9 (9 x 16^0 = 9) and 0x10 (1 x 16^1 = 16). How would you write a 10 or 13 in hex? That's what the letters are for: after 0x0 (0) to 0x9 (9), we continue to 0xA (10), 0xB (11), 0xC (12), 0xD (13), 0xE (14), or 0xF (15). Each digit has one of 16 values, hence hexadecimal or base-16. So, if we have a number like 0x1BF, we use our formula and get: (0x1 x 16^2) + (0xB x 16^1) + (0xF x 16^0) = (1 x 16^2) + (11 x 16^1) + (15 x 16^0) = 447. Why is this useful? Well, consider midi CC's which have values 256 values, from 0 to 255. In hexadecimal, 255 = 0xFF, so if you drop the 0x prefix it's... shorter. Is it worth it? Definitely not if you aren't cramming a bunch of numbers on the screen, but trackers do exactly that so compactness can be useful. If it's still kind of confusing, try counting. Let's count to 23, which is 16 + 7: 0x0, 0x1, 0x2, 0x3, 0x4, 0x5, 0x6, 0x7, 0x8, 0x9, 0xA, 0xB, 0xC, 0xD, 0xE, 0xF, 0x10, 0x11, 0x12, 0x13, 0x14, 0x15, 0x16, 0x17. Try some other numbers and the pattern may become more clear.

about hexadecimal numbers - seems crazy but I think it's actually pretty useful for the row numbers: since each step is a sixteenth note, every 10 ends up representing a bar. For example: 4 bars of music would be 64 steps in decimal, or it would be 40 in hexadecimal.

With hexadecimal option on the number of this step is displayed as "41" which is much easier to comprehend (steps start from 0).

Hey Ricky, Makeup Gain just applies automatic compensation based on the amount of gain reduction happening. If it's reducing by 3dB then it'll apply +3dB on the out. This should result in a more even sound so you're hearing the compression more but as you noted, when you're slamming it the output will be quite loud because you're juicing the entire signal.
@hanszollner1837
2 жыл бұрын
That's about right but the compressor doesn't set the makeup gain based on actual gain reduction. Instead it assumes your signal has a certain rms volume and applies make up gain as per threshhold and ratio setting. If your signals are very quiet then the make up will be way too high as your signal is way below the assumed rms and there is no actual compression happening.

at 16:50, i think it's useful to know that the number of cycles doesn't affect the pitch, but rather the wavelength of the cycle itself. it will sound like its going down an octave, but that's because you moved the loop markers out of perfect zero transit position, so essentially you create a new wave. but if you are looping a single cycle waveform, if the loop is correct, 3 cycles will be the same pitch as 1 cycle.

So hexadecimal numbers actually work great for a tracker because sequences are 16 steps so 00-0F is the first bar 10-1F is the second and so on. And you know from the second digit of any number what step you're on in a pattern. all quarter notes are on 0 4 8 and C (C is a little hard to remember) Personally thats super easy for me to keep track of compared to seeing that i'm step 37 and thats the start of the second beat in second pattern. I like it a lot but for some reason it also numbers your patterns in song mode in hexadecimal, which is confusing as shit because the pad grid is only 12 wide so then yea... you gotta do math. I wish I could make it show steps in hex but patterns in decimal.

The polyend tracker just keeps on getting better and better with every firmware update. It is just so much fun.

I didn't see it mentioned in the comments, and maybe this didn't exist in a previous firmware, but as you demonstrated, the tracker will move onto another track if there is polyphony. That's the default, but you can set it so that only specific tracks are armed for live record and then that won't happen. Think it's "Master + Record" buttons.

looks super interesting. Especially for the price. I've been saving up for a digitone which is what i really want but almost every review has said the 4 tracks are limiting. Maybe I'll buy a polyend tracker :)

Hah, I'm just recently getting back into music and wasn't aware of these sort of trackers. When the tracks started scrolling by as you were recording, I was like, "ah, that takes me back to the Amiga and Sound Tracker..." and then I saw one of the sample names: amigatightsnare.wav. :)

This engine hardly reminds me to a software from the 90s the "Early Ages of EDM Production" called FastTracker ;D

Has the File Transfer mode been enabled in later Firmware? Just got my PT and put Firmware 1.6 on it, hear that 1.7 is ‘coming soon” I assume when the PT Mini starts shipping. Thanks man

Nice video! You wondered about the different volume levels on the recording (at around 12:30 minutes). When recording, the tracker distributes the notes on available tracks and when the tracks have different volumes, you think the individual notes have different velocities (which of course is not true).

Polyend says this is the first hardware tracker, but Xor electronics came out with Nerdseq first? Is that not the first hardware tracker?
