Tracker Mode
Overview
Section titled “Overview”Tracker mode presents your pattern as a vertical grid of note data — like a classic Amiga/PC tracker. Each row is a step, and columns show note, velocity, duration, slide, and chance values.
You can switch between Grid and Tracker input modes in Settings → PATTERN INPUT.

When to Use Tracker Mode
Section titled “When to Use Tracker Mode”Tracker mode is ideal for:
- Precise note entry — type exact note values instead of clicking a grid
- Detailed velocity control — set exact velocity numbers
- Slide patterns — easily toggle slide on specific steps for acid bass lines
- Quick overview — see all data for a track at once in a compact format
