1.8 Introduction to Tracks
Tracker Mini has 8 tracks, each of which can be congured with unique
patterns made up of one or more instrument combinations. Tracks are
structural elements and the track mixer is found in the master section.
Some specic track commands are also available in the pattern pages, for
example muting tracks. By default 4 tracks are displayed for patterns and
the pattern page is assigned to Function button [1].
▌NAVIGATING TRACKS IN THE PATTERN PAGE
1. Press Function [1] to open the pattern page. 4 Tracks are displayed by
default. The pattern page can also be selected in the [Menu].
2. Press (Left) or (Right) to navigate across all 8 tracks. The green or red
highlighted step will anchor the navigation point on the track columns.
▌MUTING TRACKS IN PATTERN PAGE
1. Press [1] to ensure pattern page is selected. 4 Tracks are displayed by
