Polyend have released the Tracker Mini. Looks cute. No pads or jog wheel, but has more sample RAM and bigger CPU, and can handle stereo samples. I’m interested but it’s $700 (same price as the desktop version) which honestly seems a bit pricey to me.

Shame they couldn’t have included some of the pads for note input

He didn’t actually seem to be all that impressed with the Tracker Mini, but nice to have some more demos finally. Seems like it’s been a long wait on this one. I do agree with what he says about the filter. I don’t know what it is about the Tracker but I never think it sounds that good when used with my other gear.

You need to update the group name with the S-1 Tweak Synth 😉

Or just call it the Roland Aira Compact group, then you don’t have to rename it every time they add another gadget to the lineup. 😃

That’s a good idea. I have a feeling they’ll be releasing more.

UNO Synth Pro X has been announced!
Paraphonic digitally controlled analog synth with 3 variable waveshape oscillators, 2 analog filters (with 2/4 pole, LP/HP), 2 LFOs, 3 envelopes, Modulation Matrix (16 slots), 3 effects slots with choice of 10 effects (5 delays, 2 modulation FX, 3 reverbs), 64 step sequencer, and an arpeggiator. 256 available preset slots.
Loads of videos on YouTube from all the usual channels, but thought this one showed the sound off particularly well.

Isn’t pretty much the same synth engine as the UNO Synth Pro but double the price? More knobs but still shared controls for the oscillators, envelopes and LFOs so not sure what you’re really gaining.

Agreed. I just watched the official IK Multimedia video and it’s basically the same synth with a different skin. There are some improvements though, like AC power and USB-C but nothing that would justified more than double the price. I reckon the price will come down though in a few months.

It looks like a much better layout than the pro desktop (more hands on) but there’s no way I’d pay that price for it. Best to wait until it’s on sale or get one second hand.

I have the regular Tracker, which is great, although I don’t use it much. I’d consider the handheld version but the button layout looks awkward. I think I’ll wait and see some user feedback. I agree it’s also rather expensive for what it is.
