Polyend Tracker: Using the radio receiver to make ambient music

[@briandavidgregory]

It's been frustrating that pretty much every song I've heard produced on the tracker seems to use "prepared" samples - sounds produced by other equipment specifically for playback on the tracker. This video breaks the mold - thank you!

[@SeanMayVids]

This video convinced me to buy this thing...it looks so cool, and the challenge of finding little snippets and molding them into a song is such a creative use case for it

[@jezspirit]

That's amazing!! I hope you love your tracker!

This guy in the intro: "One of the worst things about being alive is waking up in the morning and having to breathe..."

[@harveytherobot]

I think the song Emily by Tourist has a sample just like that at the start of the song.

[@sorrynotcyborg]

My guy, you literally spoke my mind at the start there. I have an MPC one and I saw the polyend tracker knowing I definitely don't need another sampler then I started thinking all the reasons I shouldn't spend the money one of the first thoughts was 'even if I was to get it I would still have to sit for hours digging for samples to even begin using it' but I'm kind of really leaning on getting this because I think it has amazing potential to make some weird ass music. Loved the video!

It seems to me to be a unique instrument/sampler. Like the layout and form factor. Keep exploring.

Nice video. I got a Polyend Tracker but sent it back due to a splotch on the screen. I plan on getting a second one to replace it. It really is the ultimate "groove box" type piece of gear.

Glad I discovered your channel. I've had the Polyend Tracker for about a week and absolutely love it. Nice work you're doing here.

[@mrchairboy]

Really great to watch your process...like audio collage. Really opened up my mind to more possibilities with this beauty. Thanks, and keep ‘em coming!

[@mankismelbournejay]

Really cool concept, great to see the tracker getting used on the ambient vibe👍

[@KenBaumann]

If you keep making Polyend Tracker vids I'm gonna buy one and just stare at it. Seems like such a cool setup.

[@jezspirit]

If you get one, tell Polyend who sent you! I need a case for my tracker ;)

[@Rael39]

Great Video. Really enjoyed being introduced to the Tracker.

[@user-tq2ot5be2l]

[@BacaBaconi]

Nice 🏝👌

[@kashioboy]

Using the radio for ambient tracks is one of the reasons I have one on pre-order! Thanks for sharing! 😊

[@MillionBlue]

Awesome stuff as always dude.

[@TheBrokenCradle]

Really nice--thanks for the tips.

[@voormanmusic]

Super cool! Inspiring. Can't wait to receive mine.

[@jezspirit]

It's the most intuitive sampler I've ever used, I'm excited for YOU!

[@voormanmusic]

@@jezspirit Hahaha! Thanks man. Super curious, been waiting since mid-may :fingerscrossed:

[@drawkcabs]

Very cool, you should see if it can find short wave number stations

[@drawkcabs]

sounds like one of the A#F# (infinity) train samples around 4 min

[@jezspirit]

@@drawkcabs unfortunately its just an FM radio, i wish it had shortwave too!

[@IndieAuthorX]

@@jezspirit Get something that can get shortwave onto your phone, play the phone through a car's fm transmitter.

[@jezspirit]

@@IndieAuthorX It's funny you mention this because I actually just bought a handheld shortwave radio to resample with, but I hadn't thought about using it with the tracker specifically!

[@russejg]

so informative thx a lot

[@laineykat4706]

I love your videos and they are some of the best and most insightful. You're just so honest and you assume that we know what you are talking about. :) But sometimes I do giggle a little cause you usually look like you smoked all the weed in the universe, no offense I think it's awesome XD

[@IndieAuthorX]

Makes me think vaporwave or deathdream.
