Korg - MS-20 FS Monophonic Analog Synthesizer (Blue)
Polyend - Tracker Tabletop Sampler, Wavetable, Synthesizer and Sequencer
In 1987, the first tracker software program was introduced to the world. It had a vertical column design and hexadecimal coding, and looked more like a moving spreadsheet than something that created music. However, when curious musicians started digging into the software, they discovered that the idiosyncratic layout provided a highly efficient workflow; the vertical column configuration provided visibility over every component of a composition. The humble software tracker also possessed incredible flexibility in terms of sound design, letting you manipulate samples in entirely unique ways. By the early-1990s, electronic and synthpop artists had thoroughly embraced trackers and built a community around them, sharing samples, software, and innovations. The Polyend Tracker pays tribute to those pioneering software trackers, but it liberates them from the computer and puts them into a sophisticated, interactive, and inspiring hardware unit. Not only that, but the Polyend Tracker expands on the creative potential of the tracker format, adding a slew of effects to transform any sample into an instrument, along with wavetable and granular synthesis. And, it has backward compatibility with old school tracker files (called MODs), so that you can finally finish that jungle banger you started back in '92. With its sleek interface and slim portable design, the Polyend Tracker is a go-anywhere total music production system. Once you go vertical, you'll never go back!
