Dirtywave M8 Tutorial #2: Introduction to Tables

Since Tables are the mysterious dark horse of the Tracker world, and it can be difficult to figure out what they actually do, I decided to put together this introduction video to using Tables on the Dirtywave M8. Included in this fascinating walkthrough is a tutorial on What are tables? What can I do with them? What do you mean I have to learn hexidecimal code to put together chords?! and more! If you've never used LSDJ before, or just want to understand what the big deal about Tables in the M8 Tracker is, this may be just the video you need. If you are interested in song files for the M8 to see how exactly I make my songs in practice, these are posted to my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/allmyfriendsaresynths Chapters: 0:00 - Intro 1:55 - What are Tables? 6:05 - Example 1: Arps 13:14 - Example 2: Note Step Advance 15:24 - Example 3: Slow modulation 18:19 - Instrument Relationship 20:53 - TBL Command 21:55 - THO Command 23:02 - TIC Command 24:13 - Summary 25:33 - Outro Song Intro 26:27 - Outro Song See this Playlist for all my tutorial videos on the Dirtywave M8 Tracker: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLl-DKw7pTbZjkUlLoWa47nHgbw4wI1ILg To clarify some of the maths in the video: There are 64 Instruments available in the M8, and 128 Tables available. That means there's 64 Tables tied to respective Instruments, and an extra 64 available as 'free' tables.
