Track8 Update — New Retailers, SynthFest & Features

Hi everyone,

there have been quite a few exciting developments around Track8 lately — both on the availability side and in the software.

🌍 Now available via retailers

Track8 is now available through

• Perfect Circuit (US & Canada & worldwide)

• SchneidersLaden (EU & worldwide)

• Thingstone Shop (Germany, France & UK)

This should make ordering and shipping easier depending on your location.

🇫🇷 SynthFest France — Thank you!

A big thank you to the organizers of SynthFest France in Nantes.

It was a great opportunity to show Track8 in person, meet users, and have real conversations around workflows, ideas, and future directions. Events like this are incredibly valuable — both for feedback and for staying grounded in how people actually use the device.

📖 GitHub Wiki — Evergreen Manual (Work in Progress)

We’ve started building a Track8 GitHub Wiki as an evolving, always up-to-date manual:

👉 Track8 GitHub Wiki

The goal is to move beyond static PDFs and create a resource that can grow alongside the device.

🔧 Continuous Development

Track8 continues to evolve with a strong focus on hands-on workflow, fast idea capture, and finishing music without a computer.

As always, feedback, ideas, and discussions are happening on GitHub and they directly shape what comes next.

Special thanks to all the Users providing Feature Requests and Bug reports. This progress would not have been possible without you!

If you have any questions, feedback, or ideas — feel free to reach out.

Thanks for your support,
Collin
