I had an idea where there is a performing mode in the Tracker Mini where the 8 buttons under the screen triggers 8 assigned samples and can be recorded as a sort of drum machine in real time.
the 8 samples should be assignable from the list of samples, and individually pitchable (default to root note, but can be modified) - it could be accessed by pressing shift + inst for example (as shift + note does bring note trigger in beta firmware)
also maybe adding the Fx parameter including in the trigger could be cool.
another step further would be to use the 8 buttons to trigger the patterns again doing song composition in real time and be able to record the outcome as a song.
thank you for this great machine!
