Title: SOLVED: How do you make the [] note?
Post by: KOMBAK on September 16, 2009, 20:53:26: Hi Guys,

I just started tracking 3 days ago, and picked up milkytracker. It is a pretty rad tool and I have learned a LOT in the past 3 days (I am an absolute noob on this stuff).

Anyway, my question is: What key combination makes the [_] character? Not sure what you would call it, it seems to be a stop, mute, or dampener of some kind.

Whatever it is, I really like adding it to my bass effects, but I have to copy and paste it from another file every time.

The only thing I could find was that it was the <> key on a German keyboard.

Well, I use an English Keyboard and an English layout (tried changing to German layout, but no luck). I have pressed every key on my keyboard, and many of them with a modifier (alt,shift,ctrl, etc).

Any help would be great!

Thanks,
Kombak

Post by: usrfriendly on September 17, 2009, 12:18:15: In Windows and Linux under FastTracker Edit Mode, it's caps lock, under MilkyTracker Edit Mode, it's the tilde key ( the one with the ` and ~ on it next to the 1 key on a QWERTY keyboard).

Research I just did holds says that the UK keyboard layout is identical to the US layout (I didn't know...), so it should apply.

It turns out it is the caps-lock key as Deltafire said.

I wasn't sure what it was called, so the documentation wasn't helpful!

Thanks again.
