Wanted: Music for Projects / Re: Searching 4 (or 5) XMs for my beta

The period unit (whatever that is supposed to be) is still 1/64 (at least for the linear case). But the increment/decrement on this unit is always the operand from the command*4.

You should forget about that that unit-thingy... There is periods and there is frequencies... to get the frequency you convert the period into the frequency. To slide the period you add/subtract a value to/from the period and that is always 4*operand-value.

and you should always consider that there is an amiga frequency option...

it means that every 16*4 'period unit' there's a semitone, correct?
So a period unit should be considered as 1/64 of a semitone?
It means that effect 108 (when spd=9) will 'Slide Up' the note of a semitone? (8 period units by 8 times...)

It is actually 4*8 not 8*8... You may ask why 4, that has got something to do with the amiga period range in FT2 being 4 times more precise than original Protracker. And since linear and amiga periods are handled in the same way they're both sliding 4*operand. That goes for all slides except for the x-tra fine slide which is just 1*operand.

The matter about effects 1xx, 2xx and 3xx is that I didn't find documentation about 'how much' the pitch of the note should be changed... I mean the 'base unit' that -multiplied by the effect value- I have to add/subtract/multiply/divide/dunno to the original/previous value to obtain the new value 

There is plenty of information available. Just use google or your favourite code search engine. Or simply download the MilkyTracker source code

MilkyTracker Feature Requests / Re: MilkyTracker's hot-keys and Linux

« on: July 07, 2008, 18:26:43 »

The linux version is solely based on SDL, there are only a few workarounds based on x11 for keyboard mapping. To solve this (if it's even possible) you need to bypass the SDL layer.

MilkyTracker Community / Re: Getting started

Ah. Well, getting notes to play would be important. Starting from scratch, I can enter notes, tweak instrument settings, etc. but there is no audible sound upon playback. Is there some checkbox I'm missing somewhere?

You're probably missing samples MilkyTracker is no synthesizer, you need samples for audible results.

MilkyTracker Tracks & Songs / Re: My first songs

The melody on Happy Time is quite good already. You should try to put more variation in the drum beat. It's too much techno for my taste

Oh yes I see very much potential in these. Honestly, with this sort of variation and FX usage I wouldn't consider you a n00b. I also like the song names. Very creative. Very good.
