With tracking you kinda need to take that horizontal approach that's very similar in other typical DAWs rotate it.

It's 1994, you come across a demo copy off a local BBS of a tracker "tetra compositor" echo.mod playing over the 8bit mono soundblaster that time odd "tracker" made such magic happen.

Back in early c64 & Amiga days to achieve a lot of the results you were trying to achieve was how with such limitations. These limitations we're a good reason to posit how to do such.

To summarize, trackers have a fairly large cracktro/intro heritage. I mean most trackers from a distance looks like a spreadsheet with codes. A coder approach, as far as implemention goes is a pretty big key difference & the limitations of the time.

I'd be more than happy to help any way possible. Avid long time register ReNoise supporter & pusher ;)

Since you've got a history with the typical DAW workflow. Eventually you can learn to appreciate the coder centric ux/ui of barely touching your mouse. Kinda like a eclipse ide user finding vim, getting quick ideas down with nothing but a basic ibm keyboard makes it part of the low budget/barrier fun.
