    I got a Polyend Tracker through the post this morning, and made a short song with it already!

    It was super fun to use and make something with. It's bubbling with inspiration.

I started by listening to a couple of example projects, then I tried out a couple of the games on it (naturally!). I made a new project and tried out recording in live radio. It has a super clear signal (it uses the line out cable as an antenna), and it can scan clear frequencies, as well as manually adjust it. Each new station I switched to just had some gems to record! Some nice smooth jazz, interesting pop vocals, then best of all a sermon station. Sampling gold.

I started with a synth track and mashed in some notes without really knowing what I was doing, but it sounded good! Then a couple of percussion sounds, then live recorded some snare hits. Then I added a sermon sample, and proper mashed up it up using the granular synth engine, with an LFO on the grain position.

Next up was the bass - I just used one of the sample instruments that came with it.

Then came learning how the song mode works. You can't mute tracks per song row, so I just copied and pasted the main pattern and removed tracks on the other patterns. Then I used the song mode to cue up the different patterns.

It helped having that view of things, and seeing everything from the outlook of a whole song. It made me think "Hmmm, what should come next?"

I used the built-in limiter, side-chained to the snare. Then in Audacity I used the volume normalisation to bring it all up a bit, and that was it!

A super fun experience overall. I even brought the Tracker to the office to noodle around on my lunchbreak!
