Return -> Select, Ok, etc... Esc -> Cancel, Exit, etc... up/down + Control -> Scroll List/Change value... To activate any function in one of the menus by the keyboard, just press control and the hotkey (marked letter). ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ PATTERN-EDITOR KEYS │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ 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/right/up/down -> move cursor TAB , TAB + Shift -> jump to next/last channel 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 + Control -> choose chord-mode Insert -> insert note-position Delete (+Shift) -> clear note/volume/command or the whole slot Backspace -> delete previous note-posit. Return + Shift -> Store pattern to undo-buffer Backspace + Shift -> Undo: Restores the pattern in the undo-buffer N + Alt -> Switch polychannel-mode for current channel on/off R + Alt -> Switch polychannel-mode for all channels off While editing/recording the polychannel-mode only shows effects, when the multichannel-edit/-record options are switched on in the configmenu (Editor- Settings)! E + control -> Fullscreen-mode on/off "1" -> Insert key-off ("^^^") Use the alphabetic-keys to insert notes. ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ BLOCK-COMMANDS IN THE PATTERN-EDITOR │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Alt + B -> marks the block-begin Alt + E -> marks the block-end Alt + D -> Quick Select: Pressed first -> block contains 16 lines, 2.-> block contains 32 lines, 3.-> 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 your mouse to mark a block (left mouse-button). Alt + Q -> Transpose block one halfnote up Alt + A -> Transpose block one halfnote down Alt + S -> Changes all instruments in the block to the default one Alt + I -> multiplies all volumes by 3/2 Alt + J -> multiplies all volumes by 2/3 Alt + K -> volume/effect-slide.The first and the last rows in the block have to contain the border-values. Effect-Slide, when the cursor is over one of the two effect-columns; vol-slide in the other cases Alt + W -> change effect-parameters. a window will be opened and you can now choose the effect-command number and the difference, which will be added to the parameters of the selected effect Alt + V -> swap effects from the 1st columns with these from the 2nd (if possible) Alt + Z -> clears whole Block Alt + X -> deletes all effect-commands Alt + Y -> swaps block with a same sized area starting from the cursor- position Alt + C -> copies block to the internal buffer Alt + P -> pastes datas from the internal-buffer to the cursor-position Alt + O -> overwrites internal-buffer to the cursor-position Alt + M -> mixes internal-buffer datas with the datas starting from the cursor Alt + T -> pastes internal buffer without overwriting the volumes and commands Alt + G -> halves block by removing every second row Alt + F -> doubles block by inserting a blank row between all existing rows Instead of using the keyboard for entering block-cmmands or other editor- functions you can use the editor online-help window by clicking at the key- list. ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ EFFECT COMMANDS │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Command-Overview (MOD-LIKE command-numbers): - - No Effect Note Commands: Volume Commands: 1 - Note Slide Up G - Volume Slide Up 1F- Fine Note Slide Up GF- Fine Vol Slide Up 1E- Extra Fine Slide Up GE- Extra Fine Slide Up 2 - Note Slide Down H - Volume Slide Down 1F- Fine Note Slide Down GF- Fine Vol Slide Down 1E- Extra Fine Slide Dw GE- Extra Fine Slide Dw 3 - Note Portamento I - ** not used 4 - Vibrato J - Tremolo 5 - Arpeggio K - Tremor 6 - ** not used L - ** not used Miscellaneous Commands: 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 Special Commands: E0 - ** not used E8 - Set Sample-Status E1 - Panning slide left E9 - Retrig Note E2 - Panning slide right EA - Mainvolume slide up E3 - ** not used EB - Mainvolume slide dwn E4 - Vibrato Wavefrom EC - Cut Note E5 - Set Finetune ED - Delay Note E6 - Pattern-Loop EE - Delay Pattern E7 - Tremolo Waveform EF - Set Sample-Offset Command-Description: (Note Commands) 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 frequence-vibrato. x is the speed of the speed of the vibrato, y is the size (depth). xx=00 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. (Volume Commands) 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. 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. (Miscellaneous Commands) 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 the position xx in the songlist. 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). (Special Commands) E1x - Panning slide left Moves the stereo-position of this channel to the left. E2x - Panning slide right Moves the stereo-position of this channel to the right. E4x - Set Vibrato Waveform Select the waveform for the vibrato-command (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 commands will be played 6 times (1 + 5 repeats). E7x - Set Tremolo Waveform Select the waveform for the tremolo-command (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 This will delay the note and start it 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-positions. 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 (hex)
