Projects are the highest order structural
element in Tracker. A project contains all the
elements of a full track. Think of each project
as a fully arranged song for an album or a song
for live set. Tracker auto saves projects, which
are stored, on the installed Micro SD Card.
Although the card itself can contain more,
Tracker will have up to 100 projects visible and
accessible. A project should be opened for
playback and editing and new projects can be
created from scratch. Each project contains a
maximum of 255 patterns across 8 tracks.
While patterns are the musical composition
functions, some elements, such as the 48
available instruments are managed at project
level, and hence accessible to all patterns.
Projects are structural and organisational
functions more so than part of the creative
environment but nevertheless serve an
important purpose in the Tracker workow.
Project memory for sampling is approx 133
seconds as standard although this may vary
depending on the audio quality and format.
Samples are stored on the Micro SD Card but
can be also are held in the Tracker on board
sample pool where samples effectively become
instruments. Projects have an instrument pool
populated with samples or instruments to be
available when creating steps. This is
prerequisite to creating sequences. This section
covers the general project management in
Tracker and it’s SD card plus some key specic
project level functions such as tempo.
