Many thanks - I did not know about the shift-slice feature. I've been manually calculating millisecond fractions of a bar to achieve this (I like to keep the original swing where possible).
Thanks a lot, very clear instructions! I'm refreshing my UPS browser tab over and over waiting for my tracker to show up, praying it's tomorrow and not Monday >P
Great tutorial. Hope your going to continue your ambient jungle series and show us baselines, melodies etc? One question on this tutorial...could you use beat timestretch rather than pitching sample to match the bpm?
Hi there! I do plan on finishing up the ambient jungle tutorial series, I’ll finish the rest of the videos as soon as I can. To your question: you 100% could use the timestretch feature :) however, pitching the break up or down is closer to the old school way of producing jungle and gives the drum programming a looser sound. There’s definitely no right or wrong way, I practice both methods equally, just depends on what you enjoy doing and what kind of music you’re going for.
@@arcologies Hi, that’s great news about the series, looking forward to them. Ok cool, thanks for the knowledge. I’ve tried timestretch and found it works for me with some breaks but not others. Will totally be trying the pitch method!
for my amens I've been using the timestretch beat in sample editor and having each clip as a different instrument. That way I'm not required to pitch shift to hit tempo. Interesting that you chose this route; was there no timestretch in the patch version you were on at this time?
hi there! this is just an old school way of doing it. i use the timestretch function all of the time, it works great. just kind of depends on what i'm going for.
@@rorz999 Not each drum hit, each sample(I used the word clip, perhaps not wise). I agree, tho. A friend of mine who typically makes house/techno used my tracker recently and I laughed at his instinct to immediately chop up my breaks into individual hits and drop the tempo to 130-something lol
I just don’t get why Polyend choose to stop playing at the end of a slice! It’s so much better to let it play out or loop a slice like the octatrack with it’s looplength and looprepeat functionality.
@@rorz999 Elektron’s octatrack has the same feature, it has a “playhead” (startpoint) that starts from a certain division of the samplelength (a slice) and the length of the part of the sample it plays is a logical musical division of 1/16 or 1/8 or 4/1 looplength.
Finally a voice i can listen to without cringing. Great video.

didn't know about the equal slice feature hidden in a shift function, thanks!

Thanks! Hopefully it shows up before the weekend :) you’re gonna love this thing!
This was great and really helpful. Did just this on my Mini 😄
Many thanks .. excellent presentation .
Have mine in the post … primarily to make Amen breaks and jungle
thanks for checking it out :) if you're making jungle, you can do it all on the tracker!
Thanks for the video and demo file! Love Hate relationship with the tracker. Hope this saves it , or contributes to saving it :)
Hah thanks for checking it out! Why do you have a love/hate relationship with it? Do you find it complicated or just uninspiring?
Exactly what I've been looking for
Yes! Another tutorial for my favorite break #jungle. Thank u 👍
Great tutorial thanks
I learned something today. Thanks a lot!
Big up! I was looking for the tune option in the instrument parameters.
Thanks, really useful advice.

@@arcologies true! definitely seems like one of the less time-consuming ways to get some natural swing in the sequence as well.

Thanks
. What happens to the slices then? where are the hits placed in the File system? under Samples as individual hits?
hi there, it doesn't actually save any separate hits; it just saves the break with the slice data maintained in the project file.
Renoise vs Polyend Tracker
Who do you think would win?
I just don’t get why Polyend choose to stop playing at the end of a slice! It’s so much better to let it play out or loop a slice like the octatrack with it’s looplength and looprepeat functionality.

Can this tracker time stretch samples without changing pitch?
Hey there! Yes, it has a built-in time stretch function
