Instruments – where the “note off” action is not recorded. Appropriate to record drum
beats.
Fx – where the “note off” is not recorded either.
Important:
Choose what parameter (Note/Instrument/Fx) is being recorded using the colored keys.
When recording notes from the grid pads, micro-timing is also being recorded as one
of the Fx. To quantize the recording, simply delete all the “m” Fx.
Polyend Tracker offers 8 monophonic audio/MIDI tracks. That means if a triad chord is
played while live recording – it consumes three of its eight tracks.
Live recording starts with the track that is currently being edited.
Exit and enter the Live recording mode again without stopping the sequencer by
pressing the red Rec button.
When live recording to an occupied track step with already existing notes/values,
Tracker will record changes on the track to the next one to the right. It won’t overdub
the steps with existing notes/values.
The grid pads are not velocity-sensitive and the “live record” mode will record notes
with micro-moves Fx but won’t record the velocity Fx. Use an external velocity
supporting keyboard to record both unquantized notes and velocity.
Change patterns by pressing Pattern screen grid pads/arrow keys/jog-wheel.
Find the
metronome
with its options in the Config section.
Find global quantization option (Record micromoves on/off) in the Config menu.
Song mode
Making a pattern or a few of them is usually quick and fun. But how to turn them into a fully
composed and arranged piece? The
Song mode
would be the answer. A song is an
arrangement of patterns in the desired order of playback.

In the Song mode, the timeline also runs vertically moving down line-by-line from the top of
a pattern/phrase to the bottom, triggering the pattern sequences containing
Notes/Instruments/Fx stored in each line.
