Ahead of Superbooth 2024, Polyend has introduced the Tracker+, a Stereo Sampler, 16-track Sequencer, Synthesizer and Drum Machine.

They say that the Tracker+ improves on the original Tracker in almost every way, adding USB audio, Stereo sampling and playback, Synthesizer and drum machine engines, 8 extra tracks of MIDI and synth engine sequencing, increased sample memory and more.

Here’s what’s new in the Polyend Tracker+:

• Tracker+ adds four synth engines exclusive to Polyend’s devices. Eight voices can be loaded per project into three synth instruments.
  • ACDTM – transports you back to the golden age of electronic music with its recreation of iconic single-oscillator monophonic analog synths
