| This screen replaces the STEPS function from SCREEN 1A with a BOOST function. BOOST allows you to boost the volume. This is great for modules with low amplitude, but modules with already high amplitude will get through the roof and you get distortion. BOOST=1 equals no boost. On this screen, you can also set if the tracker should be in 4-tracks or 8-tracks mode by pressing the " | This screen replaces the STEPS function from SCREEN 1A with a BOOST function.

| A new button called DUP allows you to easy duplicate a pattern. Select a pattern that you want to duplicate at a specific position in your song, e.g. pattern 3 at position 7. You want to create a slightly different version of pattern 3 at position 7. When you press DUP, VividTracker will search for an empty pattern (e.g. pattern 1) and copy pattern 3 to that pattern. VividTracker will then set the new pattern number (e.g. pattern 1)to the current position in your song (e.g. position 7). | A new button called DUP allows you to easy duplicate a pattern.

| + | VividTracker allows you to load two modules at the same time, as "Mod A" and "Mod B". This is a great feature where you can easily swap between two modules. Say for instance that you are making a new song but you want to take inspiration from another module. You can then load the other module as module B. The button "MOD A" tells you that you are currently working on module A. Press it to swap to module B. The button will now read "MOD B". The module will be empty if you have not yet loaded anything to module B. Press the button again to swap back to module A. The same button is also present in Screen 2A & 2B, and Screen 4A. | ||

| DISP is the same as DISPLAY in Protracker, and will let you listen to the selected range or the selected area. It will play back the sample with the selected NOTE. DISP can play samples above B-3, so you can get audio feedback when resampling. Also, DISP can play parts of the sample that extends 65536 bytes. | DISP is the same as DISPLAY in Protracker, and will let you listen to the selected range or the selected area.

| Then we have two buttons that are used for the Auto Chord feature. We will go through the Auto Chord feature soon. For each sample, we can select if this sample is either a drum sample or a major chord (or both, which is a little bit strange but you can do it anyway). If you save your mod-file in VTM-format, these settings will be stored. They will not be stored if you save your mod-file in MOD format, since the MOD-format does not have this information. | Then we have two buttons that are used for the Auto Chord feature.

| + | There are also two buttons for splitting and removing samples: SPLIT and REMOVE. You can use SPLIT to split a sample into two samples of equal size. Samples above the current sample will be pushed up with incremented sample number. REMOVE will remove current sample from the current number at put it last, i.e. at sample position 31 (so it won't delete it). All the samples above the current sample will be pushed down, so that sample x will become x-1, etc. | ||
