Preparing samples for the Tracker Mini

The Polyend Tracker Mini is WAV-only and literal about it: uncompressed PCM WAV at 16, 24, or 32-bit float, mono or stereo, with no AIFF or MP3. Internal processing is 44.1 kHz and other rates are converted on load. The card is a FAT32 MBR microSD, tested up to 512 GB.

A UHS-I card rated A1 or A2 keeps browsing and loading responsive on a card full of samples. SampleStack converts mixed sources to PCM WAV and organizes them on the card, so the Tracker Mini recognizes every file instead of skipping an unsupported one.
