what’s new in the Polyend Tracker+:

- VAPTM – Virtual Analog Polysynth, boasting a dual-oscillator architecture and a versatile modulation matrix.
- WTFMTM – unique 2-operator FM synth engine that utilizes WaveTable-based oscillators driven by a 3x feedback system.

Ae they also working on a Linux Version?
To be honest, there is very little information. I first saw the rumor on Facebook, then someone posted a screenshot on Discord. There is very little information and I have no idea what to expect. In general, I am making a post to attract an audience that could shed light on what to expect in the future;
Where to download, is there a macos version, too?
There is a tracker module for VCV called Biset
lol, no of course not.
ReBuzz Tracker goes open source
I did catch myself in thinking that if starbreeze (FT makers) made an update on fasttracker, that might be it.
Samples as usual, just with an 18dB filter, envelope and some instrument fx.
And master section with some EQ, Bassband Saturation and output clip.
You know nothing too fancy that scares people away.
Greets.
Dunno, Renoise still way ahead… Even in 2024. Really weird, honestly. Needs deeper analysis IMHO
Unfortunately, Renoise is still the leader. Although interest in trackers has returned.
