And it's very excited to start making some music, but has a few questions.
1. I don't really understand what a pattern is. In the getting started FAQ it explains it like it's just a section of your song, but when I made and populated a second pattern and played it, the first and second seemed to merge together for the first half, and then just the second played in the second. So what is a pattern?
2. This one is really annoying me and totally stopping me from making anything, and I bet the answer is really simple! How do you switch between plugins? If I open, say, SUPERWAVE and then Drumatic, no matter what I do I can't use SUPERWAVE again. I tried all the obvious things, like double clicking into SUPERWAVE, but Drumatic was still the one that was playing when I hit a key.
Thanks a lot. |

Hi |

1. A pattern is like a sheet of music, so your songs will typically consist of many patterns. You can organize your patterns from the pattern manager. Understanding how the patterns work is essential to actually making a song.
2.Below the sample/instrument window there is a small icon that looks like a part of a keyboard. Pressing this will display you instruments. Choose by clicking the instrument you want to use. A nice trick is that you can actually change you current instrument to one that you have used previously by clicking an entered note that has the desired instrument. That way you don`t have to go to the instrument window.

If I were you I would personaly stay away from the plugins for a while untill you have the basics know how of how to use madtracker (plenty of help in the Wiki click on the left hand side).
If you start diving in at the deep end and not knowing what you are doing it can become over complecated. Plugins are fun to play with but learn how to use madtracker. It is an excellent programe to master.
I dont suppose this is the time and place to plug my new videomix? *cough* Check me out on youtube/foreye. All my stuff is mixed with madtracker *cough* *cough*. errm, bad cold going around here *cough*. Any way back on topic
Any other help required just yell.

Thanks a lot for the help, I do have another question I'd like to ask
Are there any tutorials that will 100% walk you through making a song? I'm reading the stuff in the wiki and starting to make some music, but I think it would be a lot easier to grasp it all with a complete tutorial. |
