Standard audio les may sound ‘stepped’ when navigating the position.
Tracker+ has an on-board optimisation tool, WT Smoother which will
process a standard sample and help smooth the sound and give better
performance. This effectively converts the le to a more suitable format for
Tracker+ Wavetable Synth. Navigating a processed audio wave will sound
smoother in the transition across positions.
