 3. EDIT



    Range current channel - note the block

    HOME - set the cursor to the top

       Well, with options to clear.
Now scroll to the bottom half of the screen -
field editor.



       The cursor moves through
cursor keys (CS +5 .. 8), as well as
keys I, L - up, down. Possible
cursor with the arrow
induced at the desired position, followed by
pressing FIRE.


       Each channel contains:


         C-2 3A05

                     command parameters


                     instruction code


                     tool number


                     note-octave


       Sets the octave keys is
1,2,3.

       The tool can be put
directly into the instrument (1-G).
If his number = 0, then played the previous
tool for a given note.


       Teams realized until two:

         A - Speed ​​Setting

              playback module (01-0F)

         B - a sign of the end of the pattern (without

              parameters).


       In the field notes:

         key ENTER - erases a note

                         tool

         Key R - sets

                         team killing

                         channel.


       When you click CS +9 is a mark
(Or withdrawal thereof) to the current position of the channel
(If you selected Range current channel) or
line (Range current block).


       Oh, and another two useful functions:

            SS + H - sets the cursor to the

                    top pattern

            SS + P - losing pattern with

                    cursor position.


       You can interrupt playback
pressing FIRE, CS, SPACE, ENTER.


       That is, in general, and all. Go for it!
