Polyend Tracker Mini Manual
Performance Mode
Performance mode is a special Tracker Mini
feature which creates an environment aimed at
live and real-time performances. Ideal when
playing a live gig or improvising and showing
off skills of live remixing, performing and on-
the-fly creativity. These variations and punch-
in effects bring fun and challenge in a live
performance environment and expand the
creativity in using Tracker Mini. Perform mode
can be accessed from the [Menu] options. The
perform page has 12 effect slots. Think of the
performance effects as presets where a
defined offset from the default parameter value
can be applied either momentarily or as a fixed
change. Up to 21 effects are available for
loading into the 12 available slots. The effect
slot is selected with (Right) (Left) buttons to
select from the 12 effects, giving 4 value
options per effect. The four effect values are
then triggered by using the four [+] / [-] buttons.
These can be applied when playing patterns or

a complete song. Muting can also be managed
for tracks in perform mode. Track patterns can
be remixed and combined together with the
performance effects and with instrument
adjustments. This can create a comprehensive
basis for live performance. A dedicated 'top row'
of values can also be controlled externally using
MIDI. This MIDI option can also be used to
control the effect values and the track pattern
selection. The performance template by default
is saved globally. However this can be set in the
'Config' menu to be saved on a per project basis.
Perform brings a different dimension to Tracker
Mini, taking the handheld 'programming' of
songs or patterns into a more live performance
and improvisation environment.
