Overview
1.8 Introduction to Tracks
Tracker Mini has 8 tracks, each of which can be configured with unique
patterns made up of one or more instrument combinations. Tracks are
structural elements and the track mixer is found in the master section.
Some specific track commands are also available in the pattern pages, for
example muting tracks. By default 4 tracks are displayed for patterns and
the pattern page is assigned to Function button [1].
▌NAVIGATING TRACKS IN THE PATTERN PAGE
1. Press Function [1] to open the pattern page. 4 Tracks are displayed by
default. The pattern page can also be selected in the [Menu].
2. Press (Left) or (Right) to navigate across all 8 tracks. The green or red
highlighted step will anchor the navigation point on the track columns.
▌MUTING TRACKS IN PATTERN PAGE
1. Press [1] to ensure pattern page is selected. 4 Tracks are displayed by
default. The pattern page can also be selected in the [Menu].
2. To mute / unmute, Press [Shift] + [Screen] button for the respective
track. All 8 tracks are presented by the screen buttons when holding the
shift button. Muted tracks are displayed with the screen keys dimmed.
3. Muting will be applied immediately the screen button is pressed. This is
different behaviour than in the track mixer, where muting is applied
when the mute button is released.
