step numbers start with 00 and use sixteen digits (A means 10, B means 11, and
so on all the way to F which means 15). This allows for easy alignment with music:
bars will always start with pattern steps 00, 10, 20, 30 and so on. Each bar’s
quarternote beat steps end with the digits ..0, ..4, ..8, and ..C.

Polyend Tracker is equipped with a bidirectional MIDI (class-compliant over USB)
implementation and is both able to control and be controlled with external MIDI gear. Its
internal PPQN resolution is 192.
Notice that MIDI Clock is being sent out based on the current tempo, so synchronizing
anything over MIDI while using Tempo step Fx will affect the MIDI sync with other
instruments.
