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.

  • 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.

• 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.
