6.1 Instrument Overview
An audio instrument is the primary sound source in Tracker and is based on
an audio sample. The instrument can be a raw sample of congured into a
more elaborate instrument such as wavetable. The Instrument parameters
will congure settings. The sound can be affected by effects and modulation
but essentially an instrument has a sample at its core and is triggered by
the step on which it is applied. MIDI Instruments are also available which
are covered in the MIDI section.
