Known for delivering new tech to creative musicians by building innovative and unique musical instruments, Polyend now introduces a Limited Edition Artist Tracker series standalone audio workstation.
Tracker from Polyend is a machine combining the retro feel of software trackers with sampler, wavetable, granular FM synthesis, sequencer and arranger in a portable standalone hardware form.
If you're even a tiny bit interested in the Polyend Tracker this is the video you're going to want to watch. One minute of Tracker in action, making sounds, music, tracking and editing audio.
