Each project contains a maximum of 255
patterns across 8 tracks. Each pattern can
hold up to 128 steps per track. Patterns are at
the heart of Tracker and are built in the pattern
sequencer. The sequencer is what makes
Tracker different from normal digital audio
workstations. Steps are the building blocks
when creating patterns and by assembling
these into audio arrangements it is possible to
create beats and melodies. Each step consists
of a note, instrument and two FX slots. These
are triggered as each row is activated when
playback is initiated. The can trigger audio
information, effect actions or MIDI messages.
Patterns are bite size elements of a full song
and can be created as individual modules built
using steps. Patterns are then combined and
arranged together in song mode for chaining
into a full length track. This section will focus
on patterns using in audio tracks (although
MIDI steps can be created together with
audio). This section will provide overall
guidance on creating basic patterns as well as
their structural elements generally. This is a
foundation to patterns and a deeper dive into
steps and sequencing comes next. All the basic
building blocks and the process needed to get
started in creating, editing and using a basic
pattern are covered in this section. More
advanced and in-depth elements of the
components of a step are covered later as well
as more advanced sequencing functions.
