Connected the Polyend Tracker (OG), Dirtywave M8, and the Torso S-4 this weekend routed through the 1010 Bluebox. It was inspiring and adventurous. I’ll hook up the Polyend Tracker Mini today. 3 trackers going at once for the hell of it. Good times.

Spencer @zyxt.bsky.social · 22/08/2026
Today we dust off the Polyend Tracker (OG and Mini) and compare them to the Dirtywave M8. I understand that they are different beasts but I am curious about my workflow with each in real time.

Spencer @zyxt.bsky.social · 22/08/2026
It would be rad if the Polyend Tracker went open source so that the user community could edit and hack it.

I started reading Dungeon Crawler Carl. It’s awesome for those with tabletop or video game RPG experience (me), but I think it would alienate people with no clue about those things. I dig it so far.

Am I in the “fuck it, release it” stage of my musical journey or am I still stuck in the “it’s only a demo and it will never be done” stage?

I have discovered that I am most productive in sound design and sampling, early in the morning. Maybe it’s the fresh ears.

Your never ending, hard to get out of loop, can be interesting and entertaining if you don’t make the track 5 mins long. Normalize short tracks.
