Question about Volume Slide (Axy)
DZ-Jay:
I have a related question about the Tremolo (7xy) effect: The MilkyTracker documentation says that the "volume is not reset when the command is discontinued."
https://milkytracker.org/docs/MilkyTracker.html#fx7xy
However, the ported FT2 source code I am looking at (which aims to have bit-perfect parity with the output of FT2) suggests that only the output volume of the channel is modulated, but the note volume is not altered. (This is similar to the Vibrato effect, which returns the note to normal after it is discontinued.)
This is in contrast to the Volume Slide effect, which (as we have discussed) does affect both the output volume and the note volume -- resulting in the volume being left in its final state when the effect is discontinued (and envelopes continuing).
I would expect that when I stop the tremolo, the normal volume of the note would return.
Any insights on this one? Perhaps MilkyTracker docs are inaccurate ...

Can't give any, since I haven't used Milkytracker at all... You'd have to check in practice

No worries. The reason I asked is that MilkyTracker purports to reproduce the module replay experience of DOS FastTracker II and Amiga ProtTracker 2/3. I figured those two were the model for modern trackers.
Anyway, I hope you do not mind if I ask you a follow up question. In your experience with other trackers, would you say that the Tremolo effect should work like the Vibrato effect, except on volume instead of period (i.e., the note volume is restore at the end of the effect)?

For consistency, I'd prefer tremolo to reset to sample's volume value once it's done

Thank you, I feel the same way. So it shall be. :)
