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.
