Polyend Tracker functionalities are rather self-explanatory (just look at the scheme and key names).

Basic controls Tracker can be found in the Quickstart Guide (Config > Manual > Quick start).

However, there are some tricks and shortcuts implemented to speed up the composition process.
Most sections are using shortcuts. Itʼs good to master them to compose music in a fast and easy manner. Shortcuts apply in similar ways in different sections of the Tracker and are mentioned in these particular sections of the manual, but few are worth mentioning here at the beginning:

This shortcut doesn’t seem to work, to paste only one value

The way it is written was a bit confusing. I’ve updated the description for that Shortcut.

  • Copy the steps you want
  • Go to your desired place
  • Press Shift and either Note or Instrument or FX1 or FX2 and then Paste

:information_source: Note and Instrument are always tied together.
