Oversynth.com lets us know that they’ve released a series of overlays for the Polyend Tracker Mini that support the features in the new 2.0 version firmware.
What they say about them:
“The Tracker Mini is well known as a compact and powerful DAW. Unfortunately, its interface can sometimes be a challenge to navigate due to its numerous shift functions and control combinations. Oversynth’s new overlays are designed to improve usability, with numerous shortcuts listed right on the front panel for easy reference.”
The overlays put ‘cheat-sheet’ notes for button and knob combinations right on the front panel:
Shift functions are color coded and listed near the corresponding buttons as much as possible
Pattern Mode, Song Mode, and Perform Mode shortcuts are indicated with color-coded dots
Default assignments are shown for the Assignable Function Buttons
Effects are listed along with the shortcut letter/symbol used in Pattern Mode events
A list of MIDI Chord values is provided in a very small font in order to make it fit in limited space
The overlays are printed on a durable, waterproof, and chemical resistant vinyl sheet and then laminated for long life and durability. These overlays are fully adhesive-backed, so installation is as simple as ‘peel and stick’.
The Polyend Tracker Mini overlays are available now for $28.
