Protracker / How to pitch shift samples in Protracker?

« on: January 01, 2021, 11:43:42 »

Hi folks,

I can't find a way to pitch shift samples in Protracker (I'm using Protracker for Windows).

I can Fine Tune the sample using the Finetune button, but that's limited to 7 small movements in pitch which isn't enough. Actually shifting the samples up or down full semitones just doesn't seem possible, and I've been searching for about 3 hours now with no avail.

None of the documentation I've found even mentions tuning. It's all just command lists made by users and not an official manual which covers everything.

Is it possible? I can see there's a Tune Value in the sampler (above "Timing") but I cannot for the life of me find out how to manipulate it as there are no buttons assigned to it, and there is nothing else in the sampler that seems to deal with tuning.

I would have thought this was a basic, basic function of any music/sound program, but I just can't figure it out.

Thanks!

MilkyTracker Support / Hi, new guy here. First question

« on: July 30, 2020, 10:12:43 »

Hi everyone!

I'm brand new to trackers, but I was a massive Amiga fan back in the day and it's something I want to pursue. I've been a musician since 1997 and I've been recording my own stuff since about 2000, so I'm fairly well versed in music.

I have a first question though:

I make my own samples, but I can't seem to get them in a format that Milkytracker is happy with. I always get the "Incompatible samples" message, but I'm sure that my samples meet the criteria as they are all 8-Bit, 25K, 22.050kHz, mono, and centred.

The only thing I'm not quite sure about is setting the C-4 base, so could someone please expand on that? Does it mean that I have to export everything from my DAW on note C-4? If not, how does one actually set that within Milkytracker?

I only ask because when I load my project back up, the samples are always played a few octaves lower than what they were before saving, and I can't seem to figure out what to do.

Apologies if I sound like a noob, but trackers are a world apart from any other type of music software I've ever used, so I'm literally starting at the start here.
