In this Polyend Tracker Mini video, I go over most of the things you need to know to get comfortable and productive with your new machine, right out of the box. Most things on the Tracker Mini are intuitive and well laid out, but some things aren't, which I hope to address here…

Overall, it's an insanely fun machine that looks much "scarier" than it is. In fact, I found this device to be easier to learn than both the MPC and the SP404 Mk2 🤷🏻 I'm a massive fan of this unique, simplified tracker workflow and I highly recommend that you give it a try if you're into portable music making.

Thanks for watching! If you have any questions, please drop them in the comments.
