Steps are the most rudimental part of
Tracker+, bringing together an instrument,
effects and a note. Steps are combined with
others to create beats and melodies within a
pattern. Patterns are the snippets that form a
small tune or riff. A song is the highest level of
structure in Tracker+ and allows the
combination of patterns to play a full ‘song’ and
all of its components. Each project can have 1
song, which can hold a maximum of 255
pattern slots. Each pattern slot represents all
16 tracks, 8 instrument and 8 MIDI. Song
mode is the environment in which to therefore
arrange patterns to form the end to end song
as well as re-arranging tracks. It allows, for
example the positioning of patterns to create
an introduction, build ups, breaks, drops,
bridge, and outro also to introduce new
elements through an ambient track. Song
mode can be selected by pressing [Song] and
also the song page can be temporarily
displayed by holding [Song] which gives a quick
access option. Song mode is the last part of
arranging a full track. Song stems can also be
fully rendered out as audio to be used in another
application to nalise a mix or for mastering or to
be used to create remixes. The entire song, all
tracks can also be rendered out as the nal
version too. As a reminder, as well as having the
features for building song arrangements, song
mode is also where the master tempo of the
entire track is located. This can be adjusted
quickly by holding [Song] + Turn (Jog).
