What’s even more convenient is that it auto-loads the last open project. Once plugged in and powered up, the unit is ready to operate in just a few seconds. The pads, buttons and jog wheel are as responsive as you’d expect and, while we initially have some stickiness issues with some of the buttons, this seems to settle down after a little use. Overall, the Tracker’s physical quality is high. A MIDI five-pin DIN to 1/8-inch jack and dual 1/4-inch jacks to stereo 1/8-inch jack are included too, and you also get a smart MicroSD to USB-A adapter for adding files via a computer.
The only other connections are five 1/8-inch jack slots for MIDI-in, MIDI-out, mic, line-in, and output. In addition to the USB-C connection, there’s a slot for the included 16GB MicroSD card that’s used for sample and project managements, as well as firmware updates. The unit doesn’t have an onboard battery but its modest 5V/1A power requirement means that it can run off any half-decent USB brick. The unit is USB-C powered, and comes supplied with a USB-C to USB-A cable, as well as a wall adapter. It feels solidly built at 2kg, and the attractively cold metallic body lends it a further sense of quality.
Its lap-friendly 357 x 245 x 16mm dimensions are roughly on a par with those of a Native Instruments Maschine Mikro MK3. It has limitations but boasts a few innovations to compensate for them. The Tracker is a dedicated self-contained hardware tracker unit.
