Master Effects
A number of effects are available in Tracker
Mini. Some can be set in the FX1 and FX2
slots and some used in Performance Mode.
Also the instrument parameters give access to
instrument level effects. This section covers
the Master Effects. These are the common
effects that are available in the main audio
chain and are located in the master pages.
Effects in the primary audio chain are called
insert effects. Effects are not available on an
individual track basis so all tracks are routed
through the master section. The track mixer is
also a page in the master section. An example
of an insert effect is the EQ effect which
operates in series to the main audio. Send
effects allow variable amounts of audio to be
channelled in parallel to the main audio and
then the affected audio is mixed back in to the
main output. Essentially these are the reverb
and delay effects. The main reverb and delay
effect settings are accessible from the master

page and the send amounts in the global mixer.
The three pages including the main mix page,
track mixer page and global mixer functions are
available by pressing button [4], by default
assigned to Master pages and also accessible
via the [Menu]. Sub pages are also contained
within these pages. Parameters are also
available in the sub pages or directly from the
master page depending on the effect. The pages
can be cycled through using [4]. The master
effects have a number of parameters and
defined functions. It is always worth
remembering that adjustment by ear is usually a
more appropriate method when adjusting effect
settings. While theoretical numbers and
applications are good starting points, there is no
better method than to hear how the sound is
affected by the changes made as they are
applied.
