9.3 Song Mode Interface
Select the song page by pressing [Shift] + [1] or hold [Shift] + [1] to
temporarily display the page from within another page, reverting back to
when buttons are released. The interface for song mode is by default empty
other than a single slot 1 with pattern 1. Up to 255 Song slots are available.
Pressing [Play] in song mode will play the song not just individual pattern.
Tracks in a pattern for the slot are represented as cell clips.

The song mode utility will help construct the patterns into a full song
arrangement, recognising muted and empty tracks.
In order to use song mode a collection of patterns will be required to select
from. Typically this may be newly created patterns or patterns edited as a
variation from a base pattern. For example the same pattern can be copied
then transposed and parts muted then saved as an alternative version.
Patterns cannot be named in Tracker Mini and are managed in the pattern
page as Pattern 1, Pattern 2 etc, loaded into the song utility as 1,2 etc and
stored on the SD Card as pattern_01.mtp, pattern_02.mtp etc. It is advised
to adopt some form of noting each pattern and it’s function and features.
