Please do more tutorials on the polyend tracker. You covered a lot of ground here alone on drums. Would love to see more on the granular synth, wavetable and full song creations. Many thanks

Nice to see a Polyend Tracker drum tutorial by a drummer :), got some handy tips here. Love the style and how you paired it with the Digitone too, Ill have to give that a shot sometime. Like Semyon Boyko, manually entering in notes can be tedious. I did a drum and groove tutorial for my Polyend Tracker series that goes over some useful shortcuts you might like.

This is great! I'm nervous I'm on the verge of a new purchase. Didnt know you were a drummer , but I should have know when you pulled out the African rhythms book in one of your Drum Brute videos. You ever use the 4 way method? The blue book about complete limb independence? So frustrating, so fun.

Thank you *very* much for sharing your drum-playing experience / how it applies to the Tracker workflow. It will help immensely. Your video ( / my discovery of it) comes at exactly the right time for me, with my Tracker muscle memory kickin in right now, after weeks and months of fiddling around with it on an irregular basis. So it's great to have some inspiration for homework. I typically end up with either too robotic-sounding beats, or when intentionally trying to avoid that, they end up being way too chaotic / irritating for the listener. Yours come really close to how a real drum player would sound if he sat inside the Tracker, very organic and stimulating! Although I am aware of the concept of layering, it wouldn't have come to my mind to apply it the way did with the hihat and snare sounds.

Great tutorial. One tip for your hi hats is that you can apply a random LFO on every step applied to volume which saves you an FX lane. You can also do the same thing on synths with pitch to give them a wonky analog feel.

For clarification> Is realtime record/ of multiple samples /and or note input possible in realtime using the pads,? Can the pads visually reflect the sequence and be edited like a xox grid? Can you quickly jump down /up (start/end) in pattern? Can you loop selected steps/sections within a patter? Workflow just seems very steppy, stop and restart oriented. Thank you!

▲ hey lk, great vid as usual! i’m seriously considering the polyend tracker or the elektron digitakt to upgrade my sampler game (model:samples now). would you be able to shed some light on the differences, pros/cons of tracker vs digitakt? there don’t seem to be any comparisons between the two.

@@LiamKillen i'm curious! i'm already used to the workflow of model:samples and model:cycles, and i think integrating the digitakt with cycles is going to be easy, but maybe some fresh new blood in the form of the polyend would be nice too. looking forward 💚

Hello! Thank you for this detailed review! Only one question that is not covered in the manual (or I am not able to find it) before I will buy it: let's assume that I have a song that contains parts with different tempo in patterns, e.g. Intro in 120 bpm, verse in 135 bpm and chorus in 90, just for example. Is it possible to implement the drum track for it with the Polyend Tracker? Via song menu or maybe something else way?

You can change pattern length, which could be good to start with. Backspace moves blow one row up, insert moves one row down.(In cursor track) Using step will surely speed things up and you can always displace it later.

Trackwr has one of the cleanest and crispest sounds from any “drum machines” I’ve ever used - and you can always dial that out if you like. Such a great piece of kit.
