If you were wondering how I did those wub sounds on my last album. This technique opens up some real complex modulation on the tracker and able to create automation tracks for your music. It covers the basics of the instrument parameters and how envelopes and lfos work, then goes into how we can manipulate them in the pattern to create some really interesting modulation. I also added my favorite technique for making stepped automation with trackers to get that tasty chiptune flavor.
