Sequencing Steps

The process of sequencing steps is the core
process in Tracker Mini pattern design. Steps
and patterns go hand in hand. The pattern
format section covered earlier explained the
general pattern creation, structure and general
navigation of patterns. Also the process of
adding and editing steps at a fundamental
level. This laid out the foundations for patterns.
This section goes further into the workflow 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
beats or melodies and with multiple tracks
used together, can create chords. The focus
here will be on the audio elements of steps.

MIDI steps and patterns will be covered
specifically in more detail in a later section,
although a similar process is applied to creating
both audio or MIDI steps. The section has a
heavy focus on the process and techniques
associated with working with steps in patterns.
The included workflow tools and tips will speed
up the process of creating patterns and making
music and help to become more comfortable in
using Tracker Mini.
