Wonderful little thing worth every cent
doublebind 01.11.2024
I pondered about the Ableton Move and the Tracker Mini for several days. Both represent two different ways of working with sounds. Being a Push 3 owner myself, I decided to try something new with the Mini. Oh boy, I am happy: this is FUN.

My main concern was all the negative reviews shortly after the device was released. If you search on the internet, there are QA complaints from different people all around the web and in Polyend forums.

The unit I received shows no quality issues. No wobbling; the device sits flat on any surface and, even when I'd prefer clickable buttons over the existing ones, buttons quite OK (they even have different shape so it's easy to identify them with your fingers, without the need of moving your eyes out of the screen.) So, either I was very lucky with my unit or Polyend was able to iron out all the initial QA issues. I guess I'll never know.

The battery is fantastic (probably better than the estimated 8h), and it can be replaced, when necessary. I love to buy something I can use for years without the fear of the internal battery dying and making the device (half)unusable.

The only problem I have with the Mini is that it's a fingerprint magnet. It's absolutely crazy. It doesn't matter how clean your hands are, after 20–30 minutes of use, it starts showing fingerprints everywhere. Besides, the coating material makes it difficult to clean these. Hence, the 4-starts rating.

Would I buy it again? Absolutely. I think its price is (more or less) reasonable and, since I have it, I've been enjoying my time with this wonderful little thing.

A very nice nomad instrument, pushing you to create differently
Daniel from Belgium 16.12.2023
Let’s face it, a tracker is not meant to be for everyone… but if you want to explore others ways to be creative, this is for you
Usability is excellent, principles are clear, allowing to produce quickly, large screen for this form factor
Some people might say that it should embark more features, but it has already a lot of things to do with, and this is exactly what the tracker is for:
Get it out of your bag, and make something where you are, with what you have - let your creativity explode and the tracker will very efficiently support you
Another interesting part is it’s MIDI capability to drive your gears, not limited by a few steps, it can sequence a full track of your favorite synth
Did I say that the sampler is very nice?
And what about the cool multitrack audio over USB?

Petit mais avec riches possibilités
Raul Cocuse 01.11.2024
J'ai beaucoup aimé ce petit Tracker Mini: en plus de sa multiplicité de possibles, cachées dans une petite boite portable, c'est facile a apprendre et à manier.

L’outil parfait pour le design de sons !
Dadsandbros 19.07.2024
De prime abord c’est un peu compliqué de comprendre ce mode de composition
mais on y trouve tout son intérêt car cela nous pousse à être plus créatif.

Le fait de n’avoir que 8 pistes est malheureusement une contrainte incontournable pour moi et la limitation de durée des samples . Cependant cela peut-être compensé par les différents mode de synthèse interne et le redécoupage des sons qui se fait assez facilement. Le gros avantage est de pouvoir aussi mettre un grand nombres de samples personnels via sa carte SD et je suis assez surpris de la durée d’utilisation de la batterie interne de plus 5 heures de quoi composer une partie de la journée. A noter aussi la multitudes d’effets applicables sur chaques notes et des présets de randomisations cela rend votre création unique surtout pour les drums.

Je vais dire aussi que la qualité du son qui sort de cette machine est exceptionnelle.

On peut composer un titre entier cependant la limitation à 8 pistes limite le nombre d’instruments.


Pour les points négatifs :

j’ai trouvé un peu négatif les touches qui ne sont pas assez robustes pour un usage intensif.
La limitation à 8 pistes peut vite devenir un problème.
J’ai remarqué que si on utilise des samples sur une même piste et que si leurs longueurs dépassent l’espace libre entre les notes qu’ils sont coupés et ne se supperposent pas c’est dommage car cela pourrait être un plus pour compenser la limitation des pistes la seule solution que j’ai trouvée est d’appliquer des effets sur certaines notes.

En conclusion je pense que c’est un bon sampler pour le design de son et la création de motifs pour des rythmes complexes et créatif mais dire que c’est un studio portable pouvant remplacer un DAW je n’irai pas jusque là du moins pour mon usage. Sinon j’en suis très satisfait il me sert pour créer des samples de qualité et riches.
