Bread, Teenage Engineering OP-1, Polyend Tracker
Our friend Bread has his paws on a Teenage Engineering OP-1, which is safely beneath an acrylic cover. Both Bread and the OP-1 sit atop a Polyend Tracker.

Sora, Polyend Tracker, Teenage Engineering OP-1
Sora naps atop a Polyend Tracker audio workstation. It doesn’t look very comfortable, but cats sometimes have their own opinions about this. We also see a Teenage Engineering OP-1 nearby.

Fifi with Polyend Tracker and Medusa
This cat is enjoying some scritches and beats from the Polyend Tracker and Medusa (itself a collaboration between Polyend and Deadbox). We enjoy the chill, almost Motown sound to the chords, with the synthesizer twist.
Video Isobutane via YouTube (seen on matrixsynth).
“Hey, some details about this beat. Im running a sequence of midi chords on the Tracker using the midi chord step fx. These are played back on Medusa. The synths output is connected to Tracker’s line input and runs through the onboard limiter, eq, and reverb. The wonky beat is live-recorded from one-shot samples using micro-timing while live-recording. The bassline is a looped and filtered sample of a square wave from my MS1 synth. The cat’s name is Fifi. Thanks for watching”
The Polyend Tracker seems to be having quite a moment, at least here on CatSynth. Perhaps something to investigate for a future video…

CatSynth Pic: Polyend Tracker
Our beautiful Maine Coon friend is back again, this time with a Polyend Tracker. From lxwbehttps://www.instagram.com/p/CSUb6N5tNgg/ats via Instagram.
She’s wondering
“What’s that box”?
Inside that box is a classic 1990s style tracker with a text-based sequencer and keyboard, but also performance features found in modern sequencers. We featured it in this previous post.

Napping on a Polyend Tracker
A sweet moment with a cat napping on a Polyend Tracker. From legowelt_official on Instagram.
The Polyend Tracker is getting quite a bit of attention recently. It is perhaps nostalgia for the “trackers” of the 1990s, with the text-based grid sequencer, but also many modern additions. I could see it being integrated with a MIDI+Eurorack setup (along with cats, of course).

“Polyend Tracker Wonky Beats, chilling with Cookie 🙂
by Isobutane”
The Polyend Tracker is a tabletop synthesizer and sequencer combo that reimagines the classic “trackers” from the 1990s. It has sampling, wavetable, granular and an FM radio built in.

CatSynth Video: Polyend Seq & Poly and Eurorack modular
From Polyend on YouTube, via matrixsynth.
“Another piece of sonic adventure from Alna and his helper. Polyend Seq & Poly couple ruling the Eurorack modular and DSI Prophet. Enjoy!”
Here is another video of the Polyend sequencer, sans cat
“Equipped with a wide array of Ins and Outs, allowing you to communicate freely with other devices of every era and genre. You can also feed tracks with MIDI notes using your favorite MIDI controller. Every track can be recorded step by step or in real time and then quantized independently”
