Oh hell yeah, what a snag! Welcome to the portable tracker club this track is so vibey, chill, and groovy at the same time. Love the stereo ponging percs!

Sounds awesome! I've been a bit curious about the polyend mini, so it's cool to hear someone I know making music on it so I know how it translates using a style I'm familiar with

The upcoming time off sounds nice and it's going to be relieving to be rid of all those old responsibilities,  I'm sure.

Well damn, if this didn't hit me right in the nostalgia.  The clap for sure, but something really pulled on my strings with this track.  A really chill track and super clean, very nice work indeed.  The Tracker Mini looks like a lot of fun

HELL YES!!! This is SOOO up my alley, I love this!!! The high pitched reverb soaked dreamy synth is hypnotic here, it's so good.
Also, happy to hear someone else is on the tracker train, hahahaha... I don't have a PETMini, instead I have its long lost step cousin, the M8. These little portable things are such a great way to increase your music making time. Like, just chilling out on your sofa at the end of the day, you can grab it for a few minutes and it doesn't take ANY setup. Just boot them up and GO.
Anyways, great job on the track! I'm really impressed that the first thing you threw together sounds this awesome!!! Seems like the workflow really suits you.
I'm super looking forward to what else you make with the PETMini!!!!

Very nice 👍

Very nice 👍

Great melodies which work even better with the rhythmic delay. Excellent work--it sounds like a door opening!

This is really nice to just put up and take it easy.

Love this vibe. Kind of makes me think of some 90s IDM which is dear to my heart. Really great sounds and melodies - especially like the piano-ish lead. The mix as a whole sounds great- spacious and full. Congrats on your mini sabbatical, hope you enjoy it!

Welcome to tracker land! Or rather mini tracker type land where suddenly you discover all kinds of random moments and time through the day in which to make music. It's great. This track is also great! Loved the low-mid mellow tones moving around the stereo space, really chill and delicious ear candy

This is really nice, I have stayed away from polyend only because I have so many sequencers, but they do look like a solid project. I just got some new key caps for my m8 (cause I broke one) and just haven't had the chance to repair it. Enjoy the tracker they are a joy to mess with.

WOW. You do a lot of things simultaneously. The production of this track with your new device is top notch. It has the 90ies electronic charme of Autechre music. Very good and pleasant to listen to.

Ochre vibes in this. Quite a trip in the stereo field. Lovely.

oooh, delicious swirling leads, love that plucky sound, gives my head good buzzyfeelings. Wow, can feel that kick and bass, sounds great. Nice one. I played with the full size polyend tracker for a while, never really got into flow so let it go.
Cool you get to have some full time music weeks coming up! Some nice tracks to come I'm sure!

Sounds great. I'm team M8 but polyend curious for sure. Love the delay on the melody parts. Nice work.

So I wasn’t sure what a Polyend Tracker Mini was, so I googled it.  When I saw it, it reminded me of the old Alesis MMT-8 MIDI sequencer I got back in the late 80s (before software DAWs were even a thing). It was my first introduction to multi-track MIDI recording.  I sill have it in the original box it came in.  Anyway, this track is so upbeat and chill at the same time. The kick and bass are solid and with just the right thump. Love the EP rhythms enveloped by some well-placed ambience.  Great bass outro.

Dang love the sound of that plucky synth with the bass.  Gave me some Aphex and Plaid feels with playful exchange between the drums and synths.  The mini looks awesome and inspiring   The deep bass with drums has such a calm but thick sound to it.  Had to listen 3 times cuz synth goodness.  Love the subtle verb/dly on the plucky synth too.

Thank you thank you... it was a pretty fun track to put together. 

＼(＠O＠)／ wooooo... I made it... so stocked to be get a chance to focus on just music (and music related work) for a while. 

Yeah it's a pretty cool little device.  Like I mentioned, it's design seems very influenced by Renoise, which really is perfect for the workflow I want from it.  I'm stoked have some time to really focus on getting to know it and fully develop a workflow with it. 

Thanks, yeah, it was really a blast to put together this track.  The tracker mini is kind of exactly what I was hoping it would be... I like it enough that I'm considering getting the Tracker+ so have an "in-studio" and "mobile" version of the same workflow... we'll see if that ever actually materializes though. 

I'm glad you liked it!  And yeah, the first electronic music I ever really produced was using Renoise, so getting started with the Tracker Mini was like catching up with an old friend.  I'm excited to really dig into the synth engines, sampling all the things, and really dusting of tracker tricks. 

(*´∀`*) thank you

Thanks so much, nothing quite like a polymeter delay to instantly add groovy complexity. 

Thanks. 

Thank you, I'm looking forward to some time to just focus on music... and you know to revert to my natural nocturnal sleep cycle. 

Lol, thanks... and yeah that's pretty much all 3:4 polymeter ping-pong delay getting that ear-candy going... something I stumbled on while playing with the Chronoblob 2, and now it's like my go-to delay trick for groovy bounce... I use it with high-hats and wood block all the time. 

Thanks, and yeah, I love the form factor of the small portable tracker... and yeah, I feel you, I have a bit of a sequencer problem myself... but you know there's something to be said for having different workflows.  Like the kinds of things I get from an SQ64 are very different from like what I get from a Keystep Pro... different tools for different jobs right?

Thanks, I was pretty impressed with Tracker Mini's.  I had to do very little in Logic to get the mix right. 

Thanks, and yeah, I love me some ping-pong delay. 

Thanks for the kind words.  I have to admit I was a little shocked how much punch I got from the bass and kick, like straight from the Tracker Mini... I actually had to cut a bunch of bass in Logic just to keep it from knocking me off my chair (˃̣̣̥▽˂̣̣̥)

Thank you.  I'll admit, I have an M8 too... but the LSDJ workflow just never really landed with me. I use it to make drum loops all time, but I struggle to get melodies and harmonies written with it (‘-’*).  Coming from a Renoise background, my brain just needs to see the note values in multiple tracks at the same time.  Though, I'm kind of hoping that the making the Tracker Mini a regular part of my workflow might inspire some more M8 use... I GREATLY prefer it's synth engines, so fingers crossed.

Oh man the MMT-8 is a classic... and there are a surprising number of folks who still use it in their productions.  And thanks, yeah, lot's of delay and reverb tricks at work here to make the melodic elements sound more complex then they (really) are. 

Thanks, yeah, pretty much all the goodness here is Tracker Mini native sounds and effects.  I did add a few more controlled and varied reverb effects in Logic (Replica XT, Raum, RC24, and MTruboReverb), but honestly those additions are pretty subtle.  It sounded pretty damn good straight from the tracker.  And the WTFM synth engine made for a pretty dope sound, again basically out of the box.
