# effect list
most of the effect numbers are from ProTracker/FastTracker 2.
however, effects are continuous, which means you only need to type it once and then stop it with an effect value of `00`.
- `00xy`: arpeggio. after using this effect the channel will rapidly switch between `note`, `note+x` and `note+y`.
- `01xx`: slide up.
- `02xx`: slide down.
- `03xx`: note portamento.
- a note must be present for this effect to work.
- `04xy`: vibrato. `x` is the speed, while `y` is the depth.
- maximum vibrato depth is ±1 semitone.
- `08xy`: set panning. `x` is the left channel and `y` is the right one.
- not all systems support this effect.
- `09xx`: set speed 1.
- `0Axy`: volume slide.
- if `x` is 0 then this is a slide down.
- if `y` is 0 then this is a slide up.
- `0Bxx`: jump to pattern.
- `0Cxx`: retrigger note every `xx` ticks.
- this effect is not continuous.
- `0Dxx`: jump to next pattern.
- `0Fxx`: set speed 2.
- `Cxxx`: change song Hz.
- `xxx` may be from `000` to `3ff`.
- `E0xx`: set arpeggio tick.
- this sets the number of ticks between arpeggio values.
- `E1xy`: note slide up. `x` is the speed, while `y` is how many semitones to slide up.
- `E2xy`: note slide down. `x` is the speed, while `y` is how many semitones to slide down.
- `E3xx`: set vibrato direction. `xx` may be one of the following:
- `00`: up and down.
- `01`: up only.
- `02`: down only.
- `E4xx`: set vibrato range in 1/16th of a semitone.
- `E5xx`: set pitch. `80` is 0 cents.
- range is ±1 semitone.
- `EAxx`: toggle legato.
- `EBxx`: set sample bank.
- does not apply on Amiga.
- `ECxx`: note off after `xx` ticks.
- `EDxx`: delay note by `xx` ticks.
- `EExx`: send external command.
- currently not used, but this eventually will allow you to do special things after I add VGM export.
- `EFxx`: add or subtract global pitch.
- this effect is rather weird. use with caution.
- `80` is center.
additionally each system has its own effects. more details in another section of the manual.
