Polyend Tracker - Process of Creating a Step

It is important to get a good understanding of
all four elements of a step. This will help to get
the most from step sequencing. This section
provides a deeper dive into the two FX slots.
FX slots have access to a library of 37 effects
that are applied in a somewhat different way to
the normal expectation. These can apply both
audio and MIDI applications to modulate and
control as well as traditional effects such as
delay. These can be applied step by step
giving intimate control over each step and
when built together with other steps offers a
very creative option in Tracker. These are very
powerful and without doubt are worth the time
and learning investment to get to know the
range and application of effects available. It is
important to recognise that step effects are
different to the general instrument and master
effects provided. These work in a more
traditional, inline and send conguration while
the step FX are polarised to the step itself or to
the pattern in which it is operating. Some step
FX are even applied to all tracks for example
Tempo. The help descriptions that is provided
for each individual effect and found in the
Tracker FX selection page is somewhat useful,
but only as a quick reference. This section aims
to take a FX focussed view and gives a more
detailed reference along with some practical and
simple examples of applying FX into a pattern.
