Polyend Play+ has a great Fill feature that allows you to add your pre-prepared notes to patterns. I recently bought a Tracker+ and cannot understand how it works.
Is there a way to create your own melodies in some format and then just add them to patterns, as the Polyend Fill feature does?
No not really. While the Tracker does have a Fill Function, it works slightly different.
It still allows to to fill tracks with data, but those follow a certain logic or are based on an euclidean algorithm.
Here are some possibilities of how you can get somewhat what you are looking for:
Use the built in Fill Function and create pattern data via Euclidian Rhythm
Create a set of patterns from which you copy data, whenever needed
Go as far as creating a separate project where you store all your custom patterns. You can then copy a pattern, load another project and paste the data.
Why does everyone love this inconvenient tool so much? I am sincerely trying to love and understand the Tracker, but I just can’t. I have to make so many unnecessary moves to create the simplest things…
