Polyend Tracker+ - 5. Sequencing Steps

Steps and patterns go hand in hand. The
earlier Pattern Format section covered the
general pattern creation, structure and general
navigation of patterns. Also the process of
adding and editing steps at a fundamental
level. This section goes further into the
workow and process of sequencing steps and
takes a deeper dive and more advanced view.
The four components of a step; Note,
Instrument, FX1 and FX2 are explained in
more detail, giving an insight into what’s
behind each one. The multiple options in the
process of working with steps as well as the
detailed explanations such as how to create an
instrument or what each effect does are
included. Steps can be used for melodies
beats and with multiple tracks can create
chords. The focus here will be on the audio
elements of steps with MIDI specically
covered in more detail in a later section
although a similar process applied to both.
Note that of the 16 available tracks, the rst 8
can be used for sample based instruments as
well as synths and MIDI instruments while
Tracks 9-16 can only be used for synths and
MIDI instruments. The section has a heavy focus
on the process and techniques associated with
working with steps in patterns. The included
workow tools and tips will speed up the process
of creating patterns and making music and help
to become more comfortable in using Tracker+.
