Polyphony & Chords
Each track in Tracker can handle one voice which can play multiple notes,
but not simultaneously. This can be a limitation when creating chords which
would need a track per note. A triad would need 3 tracks to play the chord.
As a work around the tracks can be rendered to a new audio sample and
reduce the track usage down. This re-sampling method can also be used to
render into an audio le when FX slots are full.
▌ RENDERING TRACKS TO AUDIO CHORDS
1. Press [Pattern] to select the pattern mode page and Press [Rec] to
select record edit mode.
2. Hold [Shift] + [Up], [Down], [Left], [Right] to select the range to render.
For example, select across all the tracks making up the chord and the
pattern duration of 16 steps
3. Press [More]. The 8
th
Screen Button to select more pattern options.
4. Press [Render Selection], the 1
st
Screen Button.
5. The naming page appears. A name can be edited or press [Auto Name],
5
th
Screen Button to automatically apply a name.
6. When the name is entered, Press [Render & Load], 7
th
Screen Button.
This option will not only render the audio but also automatically load the
sample into the instrument list. The pattern will halt playback if playing.
7. When the le has been ‘exported’, the instrument list will open ready to
preview or select the sample exported.
8. Press [Pattern], to return to the pattern page. Now replace the
instrument on a track with the rendered chord sample. Ensure the note
is set to the same default for the sample playback, example C5.
9. Remove the other track samples to free them up.

Special Note Commands
Three special note commands can be applied instead of the actual note
value. These are not used for applying a note sound, but are used for
controlling how a note ends. These include CUT - Immediately silences the
audio, FAD - Fades out audio gradually and OFF - Triggers Note Off for the
envelope and starts the release phase.
To access these options, while ‘Note’ is selected, Turn (Jog) fully counter
clockwise to access the 3 commands.
FAD - Fade.
Will gradually reduce the audio sound and fade it
out. Also will turn MIDI Notes off.
CUT - Cut.
Will immediately stop the audio sound. Also will
turn MIDI Notes off.
OFF - Off.
Will act as ‘Note-Off’ and trigger the release phase
of the envelope to reduce the sound.
