Polyend Tracker Plus firmware

NEW FEATURES Sampling over USB FIXES Reverb was inactive after exiting a game Glitches could appear on game screens The Instrument MIDI Mapping list was off by three places Previewing the overdrive effect in the Sample Editor overwrote the first loaded Instrument OFF/FAD/CUT was not pasting when copying from tracks 1-8 into tracks 9-16 How to use USB Sampling: Connect the device to a USB host. In Config > USB, select audio output. This will output audio to the Tracker via USB. Open the Sample Recorder and Select USB to record USB audio. UI CHANGES Outside of the Sample Recorder, USB overwrites the internal mix only when the Input+Output option is selected and the device is attached to a host. Unlike line-in playback, USB playback(Output) will not mix in the USB audio when not in the sample recorder. Previously, Tracker overwrote the output in every mode if some data from the connected host appeared. *Now it is dependent on the config option and USB connection detection. For example, if you have no USB connection and have USB set to input+output, you will not get output at the line out. In the past, you would hear audio playback at the line out.

This Tracker+ firmware hotfix addresses two critical issues. FIXES Line-in audio crackles when playback is running OFF messages are not placed correctly during live recording.

This Tracker+ firmware update adds Synth engine performance options and crucial bug fixes for smother synth operation. NEW FEATURES Performance FXs for Synths: Separate FXs including Delay/Reverb sends and 6 Macros for all 3 synths cosmetic updates to existing Sample Instrument / MIDI perform FX All synth Init patch macros are now unipolar (Bipolar = Off) FIXES Rendering the selection on the Pattern page resulted in a long silence at the end of the sample The Render Selection feature in the pattern editor has been redesigned to create a sharp cut at the start and end of the selection. This contrasts with the Export Song/Pattern function, which retains the old behavior and keeps the tails of samples and effects. If you want to include the tails when rendering, simply extend the selection accordingly Disappearing steps after using specific Fill Notes settings/scales, while navigating through the Pattern Editor. Additionally, in this state sometimes it wasn’t possible to manually edit pattern steps and Tracker could also freeze completely Pattern length FX in Perform mode did not function properly when set to a value of 128 steps. Render & Load samples were loaded in mono (if used immediately after rebooting the device) Breaking of the Preview in Sample Playback page. Caused by previewing Samples on the Pattern page, while the cursor was located on one of the MIDI #9-16 Tracks Previewing samples on the Pattern page, while the cursor was located on one of the MIDI tracks 9-16, caused the Preview function in the Sample Playback page to break. Hanging of MIDI and Synth Notes while using pads and external keyboards Multiple issues when Synth Macros were not reset or initialized correctly (in cases such as after loading or previewing patches, starting/stopping playback, changing Macro polarity, loading or starting a new project, etc) [...]
