excited to hear about those new features! just got mine, with this and the recent update, it’s pretty tough keeping up with all of the feature additions!

#294

Hard to say exactly what happened, but I definitely had it clear out data from my actual patterns. Hopefully doesn’t come back up but I’ll report if it does

#295

UPDATE FIXED (changed usb cables) : Hi anyone had any issues connecting to Norns usb to usb? I can’t get the Polyend to appear in the midi settings on Norns - see my post here -

#296

I hadn’t realized that Norns will power the Tracker + provide midi from the single USB3 port. Game changer! I’m curious what shenanigans you’re up to with that combination.

Edit: at the risk of blowing up your insta, your experiments with Tracker are already sounding pretty great.

Thanks - I’m just checking out the Norns specific synths and checking ithe cc modulation side. So far, Molly Poly and Passersby synth works well. Still need to check the others like the mutable instruments synths. There’s some interesting sound design type stuff you can do sending out a lot of CC modulation to some of the granular synth apps on Norns. It’s early days, but looking like a great combo. Shared power, and audio outputs going out from Tracker into Norns. You can live record stuff directly to the tape folder on Norns.

Ok that power sharing setup with Norns is not advised by Monome. - see this post

Ah, ok, the provided midi TRS to DIN adapter and a cheap USB midi interface it is then.

FWIW, I was about to make the same note, and there’s more discussion about that in the thread now - the Tracker draws less than 500mA so it should be safe to power from Norns or any standard USB port supplying enough current in that regard. That’s in the same realm as Grid with everything on, I guess.

(It’s really pretty remarkable how little power the Tracker draws, it can practically run days on a 23 000 mAh power bank…)

Hey all, just got my Tracker (!) and wanting to move over to a larger SD card, but cloning/copying contents (even with hidden files) has proved unsuccessful…and i just get the “please insert sd card to continue” screen when using my new sd.

Has anyone else run into this, or had success moving everything over to a larger sd? Thx!

#302

trying my best not to unbox mine before christmas so I didn’t tested yet, but have you tried formatting your SD card to FAT32 ?

some folks over the PT FB users group report using regular 128 GB cards without trouble after following the format instructions in the manual

I have a 128gb sd in mine. I had to use this(https://www.diskpart.com/partition-manager-pro-edition.html) to format to fat32 then just copied the files to that and it works great

#304

Yup. 128 gb here as well. Format, then copy the old content over.

I’ve had a Tracker for a couple of months now. I love the workflow and the various options… but there’s some real problems with the tempo synch, specifically on the exports. Both song and stem exports are way off. They’ve made changes in a few beta firmware versions now, but it hasn’t changed. I am beginning to fear that it’s a problem that won’t get fixed, and I’ll end up in a similar situation to what happened with the Digitakt and Overbridge. Hopefully not though, as the Polyend folks seem active and responsive in GitHub.

how did you get Mario on yours? the games i downloaded didn’t contain that. it was a lawn mowing game and a few others that were all pretty simplistic…

#310

Think this is one of those Photoshops.

Does anyone have any idea how the chords work? Is the whole chord defined by one single value?
