# effect list
2023-09-09 09:27:48 +00:00
some of the effect numbers are taken from ProTracker / FastTracker 2.
2023-06-24 21:19:46 +00:00
2024-03-20 16:41:33 +00:00
however, effects are continuous (unless specified), which means you only need to type it once and then stop it with an effect value of `00` or no effect value at all.

## volume
- `0Axy` : **Volume slide.**
2023-09-10 17:16:55 +00:00
