Steps are the most rudimental part of Tracker
Mini, bringing together an instrument, effects
and a note. Steps are combined with others to
create beats and melodies within a pattern.
Patterns are the snippets that form a small
tune or riff. A song is the highest level of
structure in Tracker Mini and allows the
combination of patterns to play a full ‘song’ and
all of its components. Each project can have 1
song, which can hold a maximum of 255
pattern slots. Song mode is the environment in
which to therefore arrange patterns to form the
end to end song as well as re-arranging tracks.
It allows, for example the positioning of
patterns to create an introduction, build ups,
breaks, drops, bridge, and outro also to
introduce new elements through an ambient
track. Song mode can be selected from within
the [Menu] or by pressing [Shift] + [1] which is
the default function button conguration. Song
mode is the last part of arranging a full track. In
summary song mode operates in partnership
with patterns to create a full song. It also
operates in conjunction with Perform mode for
live improvisation. Song stems can also be fully
rendered out as audio to be used in another
application to nalise a mix or for mastering or to
be used to create remixes. This can be used to
develop a sample library. The entire song, all
tracks can also be rendered out as the nal
version too. These can also be nalised or
developed further in other applications. As a
reminder, as well as having the features for
building song arrangements, song mode is also
where the master tempo of the entire track is
located.
