I always wondered how you play the notes in tracker? Do you have to manually type the freq of the each note or do you use some kind of keyboard to play the notes? If so, how long does it take to write that fast arpy notes..?
The QWERTY keyboard is roughly mapped to two octaves of a piano layout. Q=c, 2=c#, W=d, 3=d#, E=e, R=f...
You can usually play live in the tracker, but recording that onto the patterns generally produces shoddy results. Writing a song in a tracker involves helluva lot of actual typing on the keyboard but you've also got powerful editing methods at your disposal.
Basic arpeggios can be written using a special effect command, but the more advanced you want to go, the more manual work is involved
wow this is awesome
