- Aha, the very sort of person i'm looking for...
- ...'cos i got a couple questions about PT. Especially the play routine.
- (1) Do you have one that's actually worth a damn? The only play routine i
- have is the 1.1b version. I just hacked it to time off the raster rather
- than that stupid dbra loop, and am contemplating a complete re-hack of it
- for efficiency. Eek.
- (2) What the hell does the EFx (FunkRepeat or InvertLoop?) command do,
- anyway? I've never been able to get it to do anything in Protracker
- (1.3b)... The comments on the play routine indicate that EFx is Invert
- Loop, but the actual source seems to be for Funk Repeat, at least judging
- by the labels. (since i have no idea what either effect is actually
- supposed to DO, i can't really look at the code to see what it does.)
-
- Thanks...
