8.5 Sample Formats
The general principle when using trackers is to use short samples.
Creativity often is inspired by limitations. While SD Card size is large and
can hold a lot of high quality samples, Internal memory in Tracker is at a
premium. The balance between quality and le size is an important one.
Project Sample Time
Up to 133 Second per Project (Mono) at standard quality audio imports.
Individual Sample Recording Time
Maximum sample length is approx 45 seconds per sample
Sample Format
The internal sampler engine operates at 44.1kHz, 16, 24, oat 32 Bit, Mono,
WAV audio les
Instrument List
Samples can be loaded from the SD Card and into Tracker memory. A sample
loaded to the internal list becomes an instrument.
Browser Import Format
Uncompressed Wav les. Imported audio is converted to 44.1kHz, 16 bit, Mono.
Browser Import File Size
Large les can be trimmed to import. Low quality import mode also possible to
reduce the le size.
Rendered Output Files
Stems created are PCM Wav les. The exported audio le is 44.1kHz, 16 bit.
