User's Manual
Most of the values/data input in the Tracker is done by using the siliconegrid pads,aluminum
jog-wheel, the dedicated mechanicalfunction keys and the display corresponding screen
keys.
In most scenarios, these controllers can be used interchangeably – e.g. volume Fx1 value can
be precisely entered using the jog-wheel scrolling for the desired value but also entered with
a single press of the pad with the exact value.
The multifunctional grid pads can have various applications. They can serve as:
Customizable tonal keyboard (with scale) for pitched instrument playback.
Per pad instrument triggering.
Per pad slice triggering.
QWERTY keyboard.
Fast and convenient tool to enter the preprogrammed values (where the first pad is
always 0%, and the last one is 100%.)
Important:
Shortcuts – while most of the Polyend Tracker functionalities are rather self-
explanatory (just look at the scheme and key names), there are some tricks and
shortcuts implemented to speed up the composition process which might not be so
obvious at first glance. Most sections are using shortcuts. Itʼs good to master them to
compose music in a fast and easy manner.
Shortcuts apply in similar ways in different sections of the Tracker and are mentioned
in these particular sections of the manual, but few are worth mentioning here at the
beginning:
Master key + jog-wheel> Master volume control,
Song key + jog-wheel> Song Tempo control,
Insert/Home key> always work as the onscreen Enter key corresponding to the
selected screen key,
Delete/Backspace key> always works as the onscreen Delete key corresponding
to the selected screen key.
