III. Notes, Effects:
--------------------
1. The "Notes":
---------------
Below is the layout for each "Note" in a pettern.
(The numbers and letters are Hexadecimal!!)
C-1-00-00-0000
│ │ ││ ││ │││└ Wert of the 2. Effects (2. Stelle) [0-F]
│ │ ││ ││ ││└─ Wert of the 2. Effects (1. Stelle) [0-F]

│ │ └───────── Sample Number (1. Stelle) [0-F]
│ └─────────── Octave [0-4]
└───────────── Tone [C - B] or [-] fuer pause
1.1. Erklärung the Effectmöglichkeit:
-------------------------------------
Es is möglich zu jedem tone the gespielt want soll auch
noch Effect ANzugeben. Dabei gibt es folgend Möglichkeiten:
C-1-01-00-0000
││ │ └─── Wert of the 2. Effects
││ └───── Wert of the 1. Effects
│└─────── Effect 2
└──────── Effect 1
e.g.
C-1-01-CB-E007
In diesem Beispiel wird the tone C-1 with dem 1. Sample ANgeschlagen.
The Volume (Effect C) wird dabei I E0 gestellt.
Zusätzlich wird auch noch The Balance (Effect B) of the Channels
geänthet (I the Wert 07; also I The middle)
you fragen want jetzt bestimmt: "and was gibt es alles For
Effect ?". The ANtwort finden you I the next Pagen.

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
1.2. The Effect
----------------
1 - Portamento up; [0-FF]
-------------------------
Erhöht The Frequency of the gespielten Tones in klmanyen Schritten
2 - Portamento down; [0-FF]
---------------------------
Verringert The Frequency of the gespielten Tones in klmanyen Schritten
3 - Tone Portamento; [0 - FF]
-----------------------------
Erhöht or verringert The Frequency of the gespielten Tones solANge,
bis The Frequency of the new Tones erreicht is.
e.g. C-1-01-00-0000
D-1-00-03-00A0
Es wird the tone C-1 ANgeschlagen; ANschliessend wird The Frequency
solANge erhöht, bis the tone D-1 erreicht is (Geschwindigkeit = A0)
Attention: Es wird solANge geslided, bis the tone erreicht is, auch
when zwischendurch ANthee Portamento Befehle auftauchen !
4 - Vibrato; [*0 - *F] Tiefe; [0* - F*]
---------------------------------------
Vibriert the ANgeschlagenen tone.
5 - Special; [0 - FF]
---------------------
Special befehle:
Wert - Ereignis:
----------------
0 - Nichts
1 - Sample wird ohne Loop gespielt
2 - Sample wird rückwärts ohne Loop gespielt
e.g. C-1-01-0E-0002
Spielt the 1. Sample, aber rückwärts.
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
ULTRA TRACKER Documentation Page
1993 by Mysterious - MAS 15
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
A - Volume Slide; [0* - F*] Aufdrehen; [*0 - *F] Abdrehen
---------------------------------------------------------
Dreht The Volume with the ANgegebenen Geschwindigkeit I or ab.
Um The Volume aufzudrehen, muß The 1.Stelle of the Effectwertes
ANgegeben want - um you abzudrehen, The 2.Stelle of the Effectwertes.
e.g. C-1-01-0A-0001 - Volume wird with Geschwindigkeit 1 abgedreht
C-1-01-0A-0030 - Volume wird with Geschwindigkeit 3 aufgedreht
B - Balance; [0-0F] left - right
----------------------------------
Change the Balance for 16 Stereo Channels
0...7...F = left...middle...right
C - Volume; [0-FF]
------------------
Veränthet The Volume of the ANgeschlagenen Tones.
Attention: The Volumeregelung verläuft only linear, sANthen
logarithmisch !
D.h. 7F is only halbsolaut wie FF sANthen viel leiser !
D - Pattern Break [00 - 63]
---------------------------
Beginne Increase Pattern on the ANgegebenen Position.
e.g. C-1-01-0D-0000 Jump to beginning of the next Pattern
C-1-01-0D-0020 Jump to position 20 of the next Pattern
E1 - Finslide up [10 - 1F]
--------------------------
Wie Effect 1, nur the The Frequency nur 1x pro Notez erhöht wird.
e.g. C-1-01-0E-0015 Frequency wird um the Wert 5 erhöht.
E2 - Finslide down [20 - 2F]
----------------------------
Wie Effect 2, nur the The Frequency nur 1x pro Notez verringert wird.
e.g. C-1-01-0E-0025 Frequency wird um the Wert 5 verringert.
E9 - Retring note [90 - 9F]
--------------------------
The Note wird neu ANgeschlagen bevor The next Note gespielt wird.
Wie oft The Note ANgeschlagen wird, hängt by the Geschwindigkeit of the
SONGs and of the übergebenen Wertes ab.
e.g. C-1-01-0F-0006 Geschwindigkeit 6 (also 6 Tackte pro Notez)
C-1-01-0E-0093 Schlage Note beim 3. Tackt (off 6) neu on
C-1-01-0E-0091 Schlage Note bei jedem Tackt on (also 6 mal)
EC - Cut note [C0 - CF]
-----------------------
Schneidet The Note am ANgegebenen Tackt ab (The Volume wird herabgedreht).
e.g. C-1-01-0E-00E3 Play Note bis to 3. Tackt
F - Speed/Tempo; [0-FF]
-----------------
Veränthet The Geschwindigkeit of the Songs.
6 is The Grandmanystellung (125 bpm);

IV. "Samples.?.., Patterns..!?... What are they???"
---------------------------------------------------
1. Explanations
---------------
1.1. Samples
------------
A Sample is a sound which is digitized through a sound board to
be played on a computer/machine. Instead of wavelengths making sound
the computer uses 0's and 1's which reproduce the sound flawlessly
everytime sound is played. They are digitized via a Analog/Digital
Coverter such as the (GUS, SB, SBPro, PAS, ect...)
44.1Khz - CD-Quality
48.0Khz - DAT-Quality
With a GUS and a SBPro you are able to digitze a stereo sound.
Most other cards only digitize mono sounds.
1.2. Patterns
-------------
A Pattern is a way of telling your sound card to play a certain sample
at a certain note, tempo, volume. One after another. A Pattern consists
of 64 note instructions, with a limit of 256 Patterns.
1.3. Channel/Track
------------------
A Channel or a Track is a piece of your sound board which plays sounds,
with a GUS you have 32-Channels thus you can play 32 samples all at once.
A Channel plays a designated part of a pattern. Treat a channel as a
musical instrument. A GUS is an orchestra of 32 insruments! ULTRA TRACKER
allows you to have 32 channels working at one time.

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
1.4. GUS or Gravis Ultrasound
-------------------------------
The GUS or Gravis Ultrasound is a 32x16Bit Channel soundcard
created by Gravis and Forte Technologies. Using Wavetable
synthesis it proves superior to FM synthesis which can gain
radio interference. The GUS has 16 Channel Stereo capabilities
as well as CD-Quality Recording and Playback.
ULTRA TRACKER was made for exclusive use of the GRAVIS ULTRASOUND.
1.5. "Was is manye Registration of ULTRA TRACKER ?"
----------------------------------------------------
the is etwas lebensnotwendiges, was jethe ANwenthe by ULTRA
TRACKER auch mind. manymal in smanyem Leben machen sollte ;-)

VI. The Registration
--------------------
1.1 Was bringt mir manye Registration ?
--------------------------------------
Tja, eigentlich only viel, da I'm darauf verzichtet added irgendwelche
manyschränkungen manyzubauen. Lediglich the Vor- and NachspANn am beginning
and am end of the programs entfallen (mAN muß dANn only immer so lANge
warten :-) ), mAN braucht kmany schlechtes Gewissen More zu haben, es
gibt manye New Diskette and you machen want only strafbar.
Allerdings sollte the Fehlen by manyschränkungen Kmany Grand smany, want
only regisrieren zu lassen ! I'm hätte genoffogut e.g. The
Save-FunktiAN weglassen können, aber wer kANn dANn the program
schAN richtig testen ?
Außerdem kANn I'm nur durch RegisratiANen erkennen, ob the program
ULTRA TRACKER überhaupt benützt wird and warum sollte I'm many
program weiterentwickeln, on dem kmanyer Interresse hat ?
1.2. Was bekomme I'm als regisrierter ANwenthe ?
-------------------------------------------------
manye New Diskette, The aktuellste Version of the programs
(ohne The lästigen Scroller am beginning and am end) and manyen
ANspruch I 2 Upfiles:
The Upfile
----------
Jethe regisrierte ANwenthe hat the ANspruch I 2 "kostenlose"
Upfiles (mAN muß mir dANn The Original-Disk zusendn and the
Rückporto beilegen).
I'm werde dANn immer The aktuellste Version I The Diskette
copyn.
when The 2 Upfiles "verbraucht" sind wird manye erneute Gebühr by
10.- DM (bzw. 10 US Dollar) fällig with the the ANwenthe allerdings
wietheum 2 freie Upfiles erhält.
I'm glaube the is fair, da I'm ja auch on manyem Upfile etwas Arbeit
added (copyn, zur Post bringen etc.) !
