Polyend Tracker Mini - Architecture; Tracker Mini Audio Structure

Make no mistake, Tracker Mini is a unique yet
comprehensive device. There are so many
features that are less obvious to producers
more familiar with more traditional sequencers
and DAW’s. The overall structure of Tracker
Mini can seem at rst glance, confusing.
However spending a little time to understand
the overall architecture and its terminology will
set a good starting foundation. For this reason
there are no apologies for taking time to get
intimate with the architecture of the overall
device and bringing this summary upfront in
this guide. Getting a solid understanding and
awareness of the Tracker Mini’s structure will
help enormously in getting to grips later with
the rest of the device. The two basic elements
needed is Tracker Mini itself (of course) fully
charged and the correctly congured Micro SD
Card which is integral to Tracker Mini’s
operation. While more in depth details for
specic topics are covered in the following
sections of this notebook, the overall foundation
and structure is laid out in this chapter. The
hierarchical structure and organisation of data
and functions such as Projects, Patterns and
Steps are summarised collectively and how they
work together. It is therefore worth the
investment of time and focus in understanding
the architectural hierarchy. Developing a
fundamental workow and efcient process will
help get the most out of Tracker Mini’s features.
