Get COMFORTABLE with Tracker+ SYNTHS & CHORDS

In this video I share some tips for getting the most out of your Polyend Tracker+ (and Mini) synths in terms of workflow and best practices. I use a Tracker+ in the video, but all these tips can be applied to the synths on the Tracker Mini as well. It's more about how you go about using them, opposed to getting into the nitty gritty of every synth engine or preset. These recommendations will help you find a good overall flow when it comes to getting the most out of these instruments. I also go into how chords work on the Tracker, seeing that it's quite unique. I present two main methods for writing and working with chords that might be helpful, especially if your music theory isn't up to scratch. These synths are really versatile and sound great, but a lot might be overlooked which I'm hoping to share in this video. Thanks for watching! If you have any questions, please drop them in the comments. NOTE: This is a sponsored video. Polyend supplied the device to me at no cost (but with zero strings attached). * 32 Tips for Getting Comfortable with the Tracker Mini (Tracker basics) - https://youtu.be/DAlvvwO9Hys CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 00:48 Tracker synth basics 01:51 Auditioning presets in solo 02:32 Auditioning presets in context 03:39 Track use recommendation 04:03 Polyphony considerations 05:16 Experiment with macros 06:54 Synth automation 07:03 Automating single steps 07:34 Automating with the fill function 08:02 Automating custom macros 08:29 Tracker chords 08:59 Combined single note method 09:45 Step effect method 11:30 Rendering and resampling 13:17 Outro GEAR & SOFTWARE LINKS (Using these links to Perfect Circuit would support what I do): * Polyend Tracker+ - https://tinyurl.com/polyendtrackerplus * Polyend Tracker Mini - https://tinyurl.com/polyendtrackermini * Polyend Tracker - https://tinyurl.com/polyendtracker FOUND THIS VIDEO HELPFUL?
