# patterns
|
|
|
|
the pattern view allows you to edit the song.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a pattern consists of columns ("channels") and rows.
|
|
each column has several subcolumns in this order:
|
|
|
|
1. note
|
|
2. instrument
|
|
3. volume
|
|
4. effect and effect value (several)
|
|
|
|
all columns are represented in hexadecimal, except for the note column.
|
|
|
|
# managing channels
|
|
|
|
you may mute channels, toggle solo mode, collapse channels or even hide them.
|
|
|
|
clicking on a channel name mutes that channel.
|
|
|
|
double-clicking or right-clicking it enables solo mode, in where only that channel will be audible.
|
|
|
|
clicking the `++` at the top left corner of the pattern view displays additional buttons for channel configuration:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to rename and/or hide channels, see the Channels window (window > channels).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# cursor and selection
|
|
|
|
you may change the cursor position by clicking anywhere on the pattern.
|
|
|
|
to select, press and hold the left mouse button. then drag the mouse and release the button to finish selection.

|
## note input
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- pressing any of the respective keys will insert a note at the cursor's location, and then advance it by the Edit Step.
|
|
- note off turns off the last played note in that channel (key off on FM; note cut otherwise).
|
|
- note release triggers macro release (and in FM channels it also triggers key off).
|
|
- macro release does the same as above, but does not trigger key off in FM channels.
|
|
|
|
## instrument/volume input
|
|
|
|
type any hexadecimal number (0-9 and A-F). the cursor will move by the Edit Step when a suitable value is entered.
|
|
|
|
## effect input
|
|
|
|
works like the instrument/volume input.
|
|
|
|
each effect column has two subcolumns: effect and effect value.
|
|
if the effect value is not present, it is treated as `00`.
|
|
|
|
most effects run until canceled using an effect of the same type with effect value `00`, with some exceptions.
|
|
|
