The effect settings page covers sample based parameters that affect the
specific instrument. Note that the generic delay and reverb settings are in
the master section of Tracker Mini.
Overdrive
Overdrive
Overdrive introduces a gritty aggressive tone to the audio
sound. Based on traditional practices of pushing the limits
of an amplifier and creating distortion in the signal.

Analog signal are smooth evolving shapes. Digital audio
samples represent this by sampling and registering the
audio information into number of bits. The higher the
number the better a signal is represented. Tracker Mini
uses 16 Bit audio which is CD standard, but can be
reduced to give a more LoFi sound effect.

Reverb Send
The reverb send is not a dedicated instrument effect in
itself but controls the amount of instrument audio that is
sent to the master reverb. This is mixed to the signal and
combined with other sends. Reverb adds space and
represents room reflections simulating spacial depth,
distance or proximity.

Delay Send
The delay send is not a dedicated instrument effect in
itself but controls the amount of instrument audio that is
sent to the master delay. This is mixed to the signal and
combined with other sends. Delay adds an echo and
repetition into a sound and is a creative effect and fills
space to keep interest.

6.5 Instrument Automation Parameters - Page 2
NOTES
Automation also called modulation, creates movement and interest in an
instrument sound. The instrument automation settings page covers the
settings which control modulation over the instrument sound audio sample.
These parameters are located in the second page of the instrument
parameters.
The modulator can be an LFO or an Envelope. Both shape audio over a
time period for one of the several selectable destinations.
Available parameters will depend on the destination and the automation type selected.
