Hexadecimal

From DNBWiki

Hexademical (or hex for short) is the base 16 number system. In an audio/production context, it is most likely to be encountered when using trackers.

[edit] About base 16

We normally count in decimal, or base 10, meaning that we have ten digits available: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

By the same logic, hexademical counting has sixteen digits: 0-9, and then A, B, C, D, E, F.

So, for example, the number 14 in hex is E, while the number 54(dec) is 36(hex), and the number 42(dec) is 2A(hex).
