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.
  • FFxx: end of song/stop playback.

additionally each system has its own effects. more details in another section of the manual.
