mpxvm: Hey man!

Modarchive logged me out, so now I have no idea whether the message I responded with was sent or not. So apologies if you receive two very similar messages ^_^

By sonic variation I mean variation in sound (and not in melodies), because in rhythm-based tracks the melodic variation is pretty limited. So you need movement somewhere else.

The first and more obvious thing is playing around with volume of notes, making sure your sequences and even drums are more dynamic. This seems simple, but you can do so much with variations on volume!

Regarding offset, this is the command available in trackers called Sample Offset. In XM this is 9xx. What it does is begin playing the sample from a different starting point.

Because classic trackers do not have filters, what people tended to do was use a sample of a sound that went though a filter sweep and then play it from different point using the 9xx command. Like, you would do 901, 905, 907 to get the sample to sound differently.

So, focusing on things like these is key to getting some movement in your tracks.

Re: Hi Louigi, thanks for the feedback at FUMIX 123, I have to inform myself regarding offset and sonic variations, right now I'm googling the terminology to find what exactly this is. I know that my tracks are suffering of lack of variation and I'm struggle to fix the problem for many years :) Best Regards, mpxvm
