But I must say: I am way more a Synth-Guy then a pure Sample guy. I tried it a few times, and went back to normal DAW over and over again. Tracker on a computer don’t work for me anymore. I owned a Polyend Tracker, I own a M8, I tried Renoise. It really fits in a pocket, for you to take it everywhere! Its totally different with (for me) totally different results, but: No Computer with a screen and a Tracker-Software can compete with the small form factor of the M8. I love playing with hardware sequencers and synths with real knobs, but I also love producing songs on a computer.
How It is to you, no-one will be able to tell you but yourself. Some like to have all the power on one computer and orchestrate everything with a few mouse clicks. Some people like to turn knobs, love what real analog circuits bringt, that digitals never can. There is a huge difference between making music on a computer to making it on hardware.

If it would work, why should someone buy a synth for many thousand bucks, when you can get synth-plugins for a DAW for free? Why even make music if you can download it for free? You cannot compare music equipment just by its price. And it can do double duty as backup storage for my photos when travelling and I only have intermittent internet connectivity.

On the plus side using a software tracker on a pocket laptop allow me to plug it on an external screen and rework my tunes at home more comfortably.

I see the appeal of having only dedicated keys instead of a full blown keyboard and a mouse, especially for someone who has always been into grooveboxes and never used a tracker on a pc or amiga but I have that past experience and am quite used to learn shortcuts and do everything from a computer keyboard so it doesn’t seem like a huge thing to overcome to me. So is there anything on the polyend/M8 that I can’t do with the free Milkytracker or a 68$ Renoise licence? As I see it from just having read part of the M8 and Polyend related thread buying the M8 or polyend would seem like throwing money to the window compared to just using the free Milkytracker or buy a 68$ Renoise licence. Only thing missing is an input audio port but since I nearly always carry my Tascam DR-05X with me and it works as a class compliant usb interface the only thing I would need would be to carry a usb cable. Being a sys engineer I am also fluent with linux so there is nothing that prevent me to set up this tiny laptop to strip out the unneccessary and reduce boot time as well as start the tracker immediately in full screen without having to go through the process of logging in, start the app, etc and make it shutdown when I exit the tracker so that I don’t get distracted into firing up a browser or anything. And as the name suggest it, that thing is small enough to fit in most trousers front and pockets. I bought it for professionnal purpose a year ago but don’t need it anymore so I can easily repurpose it. Do hardware trackers have any outstanding features or is the appeal only in the form factor and removing you from the distractions of a computer (reading emails, trolling on elektronauts…) ?Īlso a thing to note is I own a very small laptop, a GPD Pocket 2.
The issue is appart from being standalone I don’t exactly see how it stood out from a regular software tracker on a laptop. I found second hand polyend on sale locally and was really close to buying it but it is still a relatively expensive thing. I saw that recently there have been a few trackers released as hardware machines, mainly the M8 and Polyend.

I was thinking about portable tools that would allow me to write tunes quickly on the go, be able to play with samples and everything and I am curious about going back to making tunes with a tracker.
So I used to do music with fasttracker II and Impulse tracker a few decades ago.
