![]() If the tracker allows me this level of control over say, 3 or 4 external oscillators + VCAs + filters, in anywhere remotely comparative interface, the possibilities get very wide indeed. Keep in mind that the NES has a fixed 2x Square 1x Triangle 1x Noise 1x Sampler channel architecture, a whopping 4-bit resolution for the volume on the square/noise channels and a beautiful 1-bit resolution for the triangle, and runs at a fixed internal clock of 50-60Hz depending on the region. NES, *5 channels* - this one really shows in my opinion what you can do with precise sequencing in a tracker. Think about what C64 or NES systems can do with very limited sound generation resources. They also make it possible to interveave multiple things in the same track - it is not uncommon to see one simple wave play multiple lines either between kick/bass (frequent on NES music) or so. Trackers generally have FX tracks that allow you to sequence vibratoes, pitch glides and other effects in a way that I personally find more enjoyable than doing the same in MIDI. The only things I could think about are nostalgia, novelty or ease enlight me I really want to like it What could be good in today´s state of technology to use a tracker? and from a company that have pretty good sequencers.I don´t get it I used them in my Amiga days back in late 80s/early 90s but this was because this was my only resource to sequence stuff I like how the Nerdseq standalone tracker looks like a mini Roland SP with its shape and the 4 knobs at the top I want all the standalone trackers! That said, after the dust settles, I'll probably end up selling which ever one I don't jive with most. I'm also interested in the Nerdseq standalone tracker. So if/when features are added, it'll be gravy. The software/firmware lifecycle has its pros and cons.įor me personally, I'll be buying the Tracker because I'm a total tracker dork and I want in on history, even if I only use it as a nicely priced drum machine or sketchpad. I treat it as gravy, not the main course. But I cannot bring myself to buy something simply because the future might bring some feature I'm desperate to have. I'm thrilled to get new functionality, especially if it's immediately useful and thoughtful. On the other hand, they added features that nobody was expecting (master compressor, for example). But part of what's been promised has never been finished properly. The CC Mapping is not implemented yet but scheduled for the next version.") so it seems like there's some likelihood of it being on the Portable.Īt the risk of derailing this convo onto some off-topic well-worn path, here's a relevant tidbit: I'm an Elektron user (Digitakt), and I adore it. The NerdSeq module DOES have tables though, so I imagine the Portable probably will.Īs far as using external hardware for modulation, it appears that the NerdSeq module doesn't allow for MIDI CC in YET (From the manual, "A set of Midi-Controllers is mapped directly to functions inside the NerdSEQ. I don't THINK the Polyend has something like "tables" (in LSDJ or LGPT) or "phrases" (a similar feature in Renoise), which are often used like a wavetable LFO, but are really like their own patterns that can run at their own rate with their own effects columns. Finally both the Polyend and the Nerdseq can have independent lengths per pattern, so you can get some complex interplay between tracks (this is a feature LSDJ and LGPT have, but Renoise doesn't, but can be simulated with "phrases"). The Polyend has a "probability" effect, so that's an additional way. Generally with trackers you modulate using the effects columns, so a common approach is to copy a pattern and change the effect column.
