Official tutorials would be front and center on the website if they existed, which they don't. A wiki based user manual is planned.

No, apart from binary noise.

MilkyTracker Bug Reports / Re: 'Now loading' appearing all the time.
« on: July 03, 2008, 14:03:11 »
This thing happens on Windows if the "Now loading" window loses focus before it is closed automatically. So it mostly happens when loading BIG files and you get bored waiting and check another window to pass the time.

Search further, you're quoting MilkyTracker edit mode keys, and you seem to have the default Fasttracker II mode enabled.
Keyboards are different in different regions and not all of them have a key between left shift and Z.
I take it you're on Windows, so Caps Lock should work for you in FT2 mode.

MilkyTracker Community / Re: amiga frequencies vs linear frequencies
« on: July 02, 2008, 19:46:18 »
Only those really old Amiga computers where tracking got started. 
Basically, portamento effects are stronger when applied to higher frequency notes with the Amiga frequency table. Under linear frequencies, portamento effects are consistent throughout the note scale.
The difference should become clear if you track a channel with portamento effects and then transpose it up or down and listen to the difference with both frequency tables. In Amiga mode, you would need to change portamento parameters in order for the channel to sound the same as before.
But don't let this trouble you; if you're making .XMs, use linear freqs and if you're making .MODs, then pick Amiga. This setting is also automatically adjusted when loading modules.

There's ECx, C00, 00, Kxx and there's the boxes, or key-offs. And actually, Kxx is a key-off too. Try searching the manual for "key-off" as the key varies between systems.

MilkyTracker Feature Requests / Re: Render Selection to Sample

Well, actually the maximum resolution is "render selected channels of a pattern to sample" but yeah, it exists.

Project / Coder's Corner / Re: Searching for XM with some 'features'...
« on: June 28, 2008, 18:29:18 »mmm... so you mean both
1. EAx and EBx effects both do have 'memory' effect.
2. An EA0 after an EBx (or vice-versa) will restore the volume to the previous effect.
... right? And do this effect shares the effect memory with the corresponding effect in the volume column? And the memory is 'per channel', right?
And, about Axy effect, do this shares the effect memory with some other effect?
Thanks once more for the help
Ciao!
1. & 2. Yep.
Volume column: Yes and no. Those volume column effects that can't be entered without a value (volume and panning slides), aren't shared. But an M0 can repeat a 3xx value and thus produce a finer effect than M1 does. And V0 can continue a 4xy vibrato. Memory is per channel. If you only use one value for a command throughout the whole song, it's possible to only enter it once in the beginning of the song. But working in MilkyTracker it's practical to introduce the values per pattern because the memory is reset when playback is started. In Fasttracker II, the memory was very persistent; values were remembered even between songs which could result in "faulty" modules where effect values aren't introduced properly the first time, or at all. An easy mistake was using R0y instead of R8y and when modules were played in succession in FT2, Rxy x value was inherited from a previously loaded module possibly ruining playback for the current one. Only restarting the program would fully erase effect memory in FT2.
Axy effect memory is shared with 5xy and 6xy.

Fine slides are fine because they are applied once per row. Normal slides are applied on every tick except the first one so that makes them faster and more coarse. Just compare the results after the row is played.
