The Polyend Tracker Mini is a compact, battery-powered music production workstation with a 16-track sequencer, four proprietary synthesis engines, an integrated drum machine, 14 stereo tracks of USB Audio, USB MIDI support, and up to eight hours of portable operation.
Portable Studio Power
The Tracker Mini combines sequencing, synthesis, sampling, and live performance tools in a single unit designed for complete music production on the move. It supports stereo sampling via its built-in microphone or line-in and enables full resampling of its internal synth engines. Musicians can convert recorded audio into playable instruments using advanced loop modes like Forward, Backward, and Pingpong. The high-quality mic and included travel case make it ideal for capturing sound in the field and composing anywhere.
Expanded Synth Capabilities
Four distinct synthesis engines form the heart of the Tracker Mini’s sound design capabilities. ACD recreates the tone of classic single-oscillator monosynths with precision. FAT introduces rich analogue-style warmth with three virtual oscillators featuring detune and drift. VAP delivers a dual-oscillator virtual analogue polysynth, complete with modulation matrix for intricate timbres. WTFM, a 2-operator FM engine, uses wavetable-based oscillators with a unique 3x feedback path. PERC, a dedicated drum synthesis engine, covers everything from vintage 808 and 909 kicks to experimental glitch percussion.
Deep Instrument Control
The Synth Patch Editor streamlines sound creation with extensive parameter access, supporting complex automation through multiple envelopes and LFOs. Instruments can be shaped in granular or wavetable modes, allowing users to create synthetic textures from scratch or with included waveforms. Patterns consist of eight universal tracks for audio or MIDI, with up to 128 steps and per-step FX, notes, and instrument assignments.
Comprehensive Sequencing and Composition
The pattern-based workflow allows rapid building of musical structures, with Song Mode enabling full arrangement through pattern chaining and track manipulation. The Perform module adds real-time effects processing, letting users dynamically manipulate tracks during playback. Mixer and Master modes deliver full control over final output, offering saturation, limiting, EQ, bass enhancement, and stereo widening to finalise songs inside the unit.
Full Integration and Compatibility
Tracker Mini offers complete MIDI implementation for controlling external gear or integrating into larger studio setups. Users can input MIDI notes using an external keyboard or drive MIDI-capable instruments from the internal sequencer. Projects from the original Polyend Tracker remain fully compatible, allowing seamless transitions between devices.
Designed for Creative Freedom
With over 250 synth presets and access to more than 50 professional sample packs, the unit provides a rich sound palette from the outset. Users can create original instruments, edit waveforms, slice beats, and develop sample kits using manual or automated slice points. The device supports stereo audio over USB, extended internal memory, and includes a backlit interface for visibility in low-light conditions.
