(B) Effect Commands --------------- Command-Overview (MOD-LIKE commands): - - No Effect 1 - Note Slide Up G - Volume Slide Up 1F- Fine Note Up GF- Fine Vol Up 1E- Extra Fine Up GE- Extra Fine Up 2 - Note Slide Down H - Volume Slide Down 2F- Fine Note Down HF- Fine Vol Down 2E- Extra Fine Down HE- Extra Fine Down 3 - Note Portamento I - ** not used 4 - Vibrato J - Tremolo 5 - Arpeggio K - Tremor 6 - ** not used L - ** not used 7 - Set BPM-Speed (Beats per Minute) 8 - Set Panning 9 - ** not used A - ** not used B - Position Jump C - Set Global-Volume D - Pattern Break E - Special-Commands (see below...) F - Set Speed E0- ** not used E8- Set Samplestatus E1- Pan slide left E9- Retrig Note E2- Pan slide right EA- Mainvol slide up E3- ** not used EB- Mainvol slide dw E4- Vibrato Wavefrom EC- Cut Note E5- Set Finetune ED- Delay Note E6- Pattern-Loop EE- Delay Pattern E7- Tremolo Waveform EF- Set Sampleoffset Command-Description: * 1xx - Note Slide Up This command slides the pitch of the note up.xx is the slide-speed (01-DF,00 -> take value from the last slide-command). * 1Fx - Fine Note Slide Up Slides the pitch up at a slower speed(only one time per row). * 1Ex - Extra Fine Note Slide Up Like the 1Fx-command, but this is 8 times more accurate. * 2xx / 2Fx / 2Ex - Note Slide Down These commands slide the pitch down. * 3xx - Tone Portamento This command will automatically slide from the old note to the new (up or down). The new note must stand in front of this command. xx is the speed.xx=00 means using the last speed. * 4xy - Vibrato This will give you a frequency-vibrato. x is the speed of the vibrato, y is the size (depth). x/y=0 means using the speed/depth of the last command. * 5xy - Arpeggio This command will produce a one-channel chord. x is the second halfnote(add to the main-note), y is the third. * Gxx / GFx / GEx - Volume Slide Up Acts like a 1xx-Command, but it slides the volume up instead. GEx is 4 times more accurate like GFx (look at the 1x command- description). * Hxx / HFx / HEx - Volume Slide Down Slides the volume down. * Jxy - Tremolo The tremolo is similar to the note-vibrato (4xy), the different is, that it changes the volume. x is the speed,y is the depth. * Kxy - Tremor The Tremor-Command turns the volume on for x ticks and off for y ticks. * 7xx - Set Speed in BPM(Beats per Minute) Sets the song speed in BPM to xx (0-FF). xx<3 will stop the sound. * 8xx - Set Panning (stereo-position) Sets the stereo-position for this channel. Values from 00 (left) - 7F (right) are possible. * Bxx - Position Jump This command will perform a pattern-break and let the tracker continue at position x in the songlist (in HEX!). * Cxx - Set Global Volume Sets the global volume(volume at which the whole song is played)to the new value (01- FF). * Dxx - Pattern Break Sure simple,this will end your pattern and go on with the next at note-position xx (this time xx in DEZ, don't forget it!) * Fxx - Set Speed Sets the song speed to xx (0-FF). * E1x - Panning slide left Moves the pan-position of this channel to the left. * E2x - Panning slide right Moves the pan-position of this channel to the right. * E4x - Set Vibrato Waveform Select the waveform for the vibrato (4) with this command: x=0 - sinus (default), x=1 - ramp down, x=2 - square. * E5x - Set Finetune Sets the finetune for the current note: 0=0, 1=+1, 2=+2, 3=+3, 4=+4, 5=+5, 6=+6, 7=+7, 8=-8, 9=-7, A=-6, B=-5, C=-4, D=-3, E=-2, F=-1. * E6x - Set Loop Point/Jump to Loop Point This command repeats parts in a pattern as often as you want. E60(x=0) sets the begin of the loop, E6x(x=1-F) sets the end. x is the number of repeats.Example: E60 ... E65 means, that the part between the two com- mands will be played 6 times(1+5 repeats). * E7x - Set Tremolo Waveform Select the waveform for the tremolo (7) with this command: x=0 - sinus (default), x=1 - ramp down, x=2 - square. * E8x - Set Sample Status x=0 no loop, x=1 loop, unidirectional, x=3 loop, bidirectional * E9x - Retrig Note This will restart the note after x ticks. * EAx - Mainvolume Slide Up Slides the mainvolume up. x is the slide- speed. * EBx - Mainvolume Slide Down Slides the mainvolume down. * ECx - Note Cut This will stop the note after x ticks. * EDx - Note Delay Delais the note and starts it (again)after x ticks. * EEx - Pattern Delay This delais the next note-position in pattern for x notes. That means that there is break which is as long as x note-posi- tions. * EFx -xx - Set Sample Offset This is a double-command. It starts the sample at adress xxx*256. Example: C-5 01 -- EF1 -23 ->starts sample 01 at address 12300 (in hex). (C) Pattern-Editor -------------- Keys in the Pattern-Editor: Esc -> quit pattern-editor Return -> stop/start playing Space -> switch between Write-/Play-Mode. In the Play-Note, notes will not be written in the pattern, only tested. left/rght/up/dwn-> move cursor TAB, TAB +Shift-> jump to next/last track left/right+Shift-> jump to next/last note, useful in polychannel- mode With the right mouse-button you can also place the cursor by the mouse. up/down + Ctrl -> choose chord-mode Insert -> insert note-position Delete (+Shift)-> clear note/volume/comd. or the whole slot Backspace -> delete previous notepos Return + Shift-> Store pattern to undo- buffer Backspace+ Shift-> Undo:Restores the whole pattern in the undo-buf N + Alt -> Switch polychannel-mode for curr. track on/off R + Alt -> Switch polychannel-mode for all channels off While editing/recording the polychannel- mode only shows effects, when the multi- channel-edit/-record options are switched on in the configmenu (Editor-Settings)! E + Control -> Fullscreen-mode on/off "1" -> Insert key-off ("^^^") P + Shift -> Edit patternname Use the alphabetic-keys to insert notes. Block definition: Alt + B -> marks the block-begin Alt + E -> marks the block-end Alt + D -> Quick Select: Pressed... 1st -> block contains 16 lines 2nd -> block contains 32 lines 3rd -> block contains 64 lines Alt + L -> selects the current channel. Pressing twice will select the whole pattern Alt + U -> Unmark Block You can also use the mouse to mark a block (left mouse-button). Area-commands: Activate the "Block"-,"Track"- or "Patt"- button to select the area-type. You can do that also with... Ctrl + B -> Select block as area Ctrl + T -> Select track as area Ctrl + P -> Select pattern as area All following listed area-commands show effect on the defined block, the actual track or the actual pattern. They can be activated by the menu in the pattern- editor or with the following keys: Alt + Q -> Transpose one halfnote up Alt + A -> Transpose one halfnote down Alt + S -> Changes all instruments in the area to the default one Ctrl+ V -> Changes all volumes to the default one Ctrl+ W -> Only vols in the notes will be changed to the default volume Alt + I -> multiplies all volumes by 3/2 Alt + J -> multiplies all volumes by 2/3 Alt + K -> volume-/effect-slide. The first and last rows in the area have to contain the bordervalues.Fx- Slide,when the cursor is on one of the two Fx-columns;vol-slide in the other cases Alt + W -> change effect-parameters. A window will be opened and you can now choose the Efx-command number and the value,which will be added to the parameters of the selected effect Alt + V -> swap effects from the 1st col. with these from the 2nd. Alt + Z -> clears whole area Alt + X -> deletes all effect-commands Alt + Y -> swaps area with a same sized one starting from the cursor- position Ctrl+ X -> mirrors the area. The last pos will be swapped with the first one and so on. Alt + C -> copies area to the internal buffer Alt + P -> pastes datas from the internal- buffer to the cursor-position Alt + O -> overwrites intern.buffer to the cursor-position Alt + M -> mixes intern.buffer datas with the datas under the cursor Alt + T -> pastes internal buffer without overwriting the volumes and fx. Alt + G -> halves area by removing every second row Alt + F -> doubles area by inserting a blank row between all existing rows Volume-/Panning-/Effect-Recording: It is possible to record the volume or an effect-command for one channel just with the mouse. To enter the recorder-menu press on the "R"-Button. * Volume/Effect 1/Effect 2 - what you want to record... * Effect-Number - if you record an effect, here is its number * Range Begin/End - the values, which will be recorded, are between these two variables * Recorder - to start recording, just click on the slider and move the mouse. To change the width of the slider, click on the button right to it. Notation (Info for one note-slot): >> AAA CC DD EFF GHH << 'AAA' - note to play at this position(C-0- B#9). A key-off '^^^' (set by pressing"1")will start the fadeout 'CC' - number of the instrument played at this position. If a note is entered without an instrument number, the last played instrument will be overtaken and the actual vol., panning and envelopes will not be changed. If an instrument is entered without a note, only the volume, panning and envelopes will be changed to these of the entered instrument 'DD' - volume (01 - FF, '--' means no volume change) 'E' - number of the first effect-cmd 'FF' - the description for the first efx 'GHH' - the same for the second effect Note that the effects 1-6 (note-effects) can only be entered in the first effect- column, G-L (volume-effects) only in the second column. Editor-Buttons: "LN" -> enter full sample-number/volume/ effect-databyte or jump to the next position at any time (F1+ Control) "SMP" -> use current sample-num. or don't overwrite existing sample (F2 + Control) "VOL" -> take last volume or don't write volume (F3+Control) "CMD" -> take last command(s) or don't write any commands (F4+Control) "BLOCK" / "TRACK" / "PATT" -> area type. Read the description of the area-commands "M" -> (in the head of a channel). By pressing ALT+N or by clicking at this button, you can mark the current channel as a polychannel. When entering notes/other datas the cursor will jump between the marked polychannels. (D) Diskmenu -------- Keys for the diskmenu: Esc -> quit diskmenu Return -> load/save/delete... file Ctrl+Up/Down -> scroll directory-window Ctrl+A,B,..J -> change to drive A,B,..J Tab -> choose file/directory with cursor, page up/down,home/ end, return alpha-numeric keys.. -> enter filename when "test-file" is active: test the selected instrument or sample Buttons in the diskmenu: * Ok-Button - loads/saves/deletes/... the selected file * Sort-Buttons - click on the "File"-, "Length"- or "Date"-Button at the top of the directory-window to change the sort- criterion. * Directory-Buttons - the "Modules", "Instruments", "Samples", "User 1" and "User 2" Buttons will switch to the res- pective directories. * Drive-Buttons - click on the "A:", "B:", ... "L:"-Buttons to change the drive. * Filemask-Buttons - the buttons left to the directory-window determine which file-types will be displayed. Options: * Pack Samples - save samples unpacked or packed. This options shows its effect to "Save Song" and "Save Instrument". * List Names- turning this option off will stop displaying the song- and/or sample- names in the directory-window. * Save as - when saving a song or a sample you can choose,which format Digitrakker should use (MDL / XM, IFF / SMP, IST). Functions in the diskmenu: * Load Song - Loads a Song-Module into the memory. The old song will be removed. Following formats will be accepted: - MDL (DigiTrakker) - MOD (Protracker, Noisetracker, Star- tracker, Fasttracker, Taketracker, Octalizer) - S3M (Screamtracker 3) - XM (Fasttracker 2, Digitrakker) - DMF (X-Trakker) - PTM (Polytracker) - MTM (Multitracker) - ULT (Ultratracker) - 669 (Composer 669) - FAR (Farandole Composer) - DSM (Dynamic Studio) * Save Song - Saves the current module as a MDL- or a XM-File to (hard)disk. * Load instrument - Loads a selected instrument to the current one (which will be deleted!).Digitrakker loads: IST (DigiTrakker), PAT (Ultrasound Patches) and XI (Fasttracker 2) * Save Instrument - Saves the current instrument as an IST-File * Load sample - Loads a selected sample: IFF,SPL (old Digitrakker sample-format), WAV (Windows), VOC (Soundblaster, only unpacked VOCs will be accepted) and raw/ unknown-sampleformats (will be handled as signed or unsigned samples -as setted in the config menu). * Save sample - Saves the actual sample in the IFF- (amiga) or SMP-Format (signed raw-samples) * Test File - By selecting a file and pressing a note-key the instrument or sample will be played but not loaded into the memory. * Delete - Removes a selected file from disk. * Rename - Changes the name of a selected file. * Make Directory - Creates a new sub-dir. (E) Sample-Editor ------------- The functions in the middle column of the menu operate to the whole sample, the functions on the right side only to the selected range. Click the left mouse-button in the sample- window and move the mouse-pointer to specify the range. To define the repeat-start and -length of the sample, use the right mouse-button. * Range All - Marks the whole sample. * Unmark - Unmarks the whole sample. * Clear Buffer - Erases the sample-buffer. * Play Sample - Plays the sample in the normal way * Play Range - Plays only the part of the sample inside the range-marks. * Play Display - Plays the whole sample without loops. * Stop - Stops Sample-/Songplay * Copy Sample- Copies the actual sample to the selected destination.The destination sample will be overwritten by the actual one! * Clear Sample- Removes the actual sample. * Mix Sample- mixes the actual sample with a selected one.The result will be copied in the actual sample. * Resample - .... * Echo- First you have to set the delay of the 1st echo in the actual sample. The point you select is the position, where the echo starts. The volume of the echo will be entered after that. Values of between 50 and 80 are generally good. But you can create echos, which become more and more loud too, by setting more than 100% for the volume. * Minimize - cuts datas behind the repeat- area of the actual sample. * (Un)Signed - converts data in the actual sample from signed to unsigned and vice versa. DigiTrakker uses signed samples. * Finetune - you may change the frequency of the sample by choosing the finetune and the relative note with this function * Copy Range - Copies the selected range into the sample-buffer * Clear Range- Deletes the selected range. * Cuts Range - Copies the selected range into the sample-buffer and deletes it. * Paste Range - Pastes the datas from the sample-buffer into the actual sample. * Volume - Changes the real volume of the range. You can select numbers of between 0 and 999.200% will double the amplitude (=volume) of the sample. The volume is halved with 50%. You can produce a vol- slide by entering different start- and end-volumes. * Smooth - like a filter: makes the sample deeper. * Backward - revers the defined range. Click this two times to get the old constellation. * Zero Position - this gives you the possibility to move the zeroposition of the sample. (F) Instrument-Editor ----------------- One Instrument consists of: - 1 instrument-name - 1...16 sample-places One sample-place consists of: - 1 sample (out of 255) - 1 playrange - 1 volume - 1 pan-position - 1 volume-envelope (out of 64) - 1 panning-envelope (out of 64) - 1 fadeout - 1 auto-vibrato Instrument-Parameters: * Sampleplace-numbers - to select a sample place,click on one of the buttons at the left screen-border. * Samplenumber - the number of the sample for this place * Playrange - the range in which this sample will be used.When kicking a note, which lies inside the range, this sample will be played. You can also change the playrange by clicking on the keyboard at the bottom of the screen. To swap the playrange of the actual sample with another one, just click on one of the sample-place numbers with the right mouse-button. * Fadeout - this is the speed for the vol- fadeout.The volume-fadeout starts with a key-off "^^^"(release note)."CUT" means, that the sample will stop at once when reaching a key-off * Vibrato-Speed - the speed of the auto- vibrato * Vibrato-Depth - the depth of the auto- vibrato. Set the depth to 0 to turn off the auto-vibrato. * Vibrato-Sweep - this is the time-periode the vibrato needs to reach its full depth * Vibrato-Form - by clicking on one of the three waveform-symbols at the right border you choose the vibrato-form. Volume, Panning, Envelopes: At the right side of the screen you find the two envelopes and the volume- and pan- ning-parameters. * Volume - the volume for the sample. If the volume is switched off, the actual volume from the channel will be taken when playing the sample. * Panning - the pan-position for the sample. Switch off the pan-position to overtake the old one from the channel when playing this sample. * Volume- and Pan-Envelope - the selected envelopes are displayed in the two windows. Envelope-Editor: * Copy - copies the envelope into a buffer * Paste - pastes the envelope from the buffer * Duplicate - creates a new envelope: The actual envelope will be copied into an unused one which will be overtaken for the current sample-place. * Current Point - the number of the actual point * Sustain - if the sustain-point is acti- vated, the envelope will stop at this point until a key-off is reached. * Loop- the envelope loops between the two points when looping is switched on * Stretch/Shrink env. - this is possible with the two arrows < > over the "Ins"- button * Ins - inserts a new point. Up to 15 are possible * Del - deletes the current point * Predefineds- six different envelopes can be stored as "predefineds". To select a predefined click on one of the numbers (1-6) with the left mouse-button. The right mouse-button will store the actual envelope in one of the predefineds. The predefineds will be saved in the config- file (G) Configuration ------------- * Autosave - if this is switched on, Digi- trakker will update the config-file when you leave the program * Load Config - loads the config-file and updates the configuration * Save Config - saves the configuration in the config-file * Reset Config - resets all parameters!
