No judgment if you love yours. I am just noting how expensive ignoring existential dread can get.

        I have the Polyend Tracker (full size) and I didn’t find the workflow and format inspiring. I might as well learn to master Renoise. That’s what brought me to the M8.

        If you want to know if the M8 is more your vibe, just buy a Teensy 4.1 from Amazon (~$35) and run some of the headless clients.

          Yeah I don’t find the polyend that inspiring either. Software is pretty janky (stereo sampling but I can’t play samples in mono???), song mode is pretty shit, etc

          I’ll look into the teensy option but I need to have something mobile as my life is quite nomadic. I got invited to buy a woovebox so I might do that

            If you have a Steam Deck, you can connect the Teensy to it and run the headless client that way. If not, there’s also this option.
