This description is intended for users who have some experience 
with music editor at SPECCY and

only.

 HELLO, friends spektrumisty!
 Well, like and finished second
 version ~ RIFF TRACKER'a ~.

 The first version of a widespread
 was not (Ed.).

This version of the editor will be

  work only with

   version of the firmware version is not lower than 1.4 in
 GENERAL SOUND!

 So.


  Hence, the load "R.T.".

 If everything is in order, after downloading go to the main 
menu. 

 If at boot time failed to
any reason, then a message appears (such as running out of the 
48 RT-mode, or in the absence of General Sounda, etc.). 

 Thus, the main menu:



EDIT - enter the edit mode pattern.

Your look is standard
menus for most trackers. First
is the line number, then the note, octave, the number of 
samples (two-byte 00-1F), command and command argument (also a 
two-byte). 

Manage a small kursorchikom by the arrow buttons and I
'& K - Up and down the line.

otnye button:

 2 3 5 6 7
 Q W ER T Y U

 S D G H J
 Z X CV B N M



 Switching octaves pushbuttons
1-2-3-4-5-6-7 with retention Symbol
Shift.

 In this version only works button
3-4-5. The rest should be operational in the next version, now 
they are not work because of inability to play

Such notes of the board ~ GENERAL SOUND ~,
as in standard MODah not, but I hope that the Stinger will fix 
this yet minor defect.


 We describe the hot buttons in edit mode:

 TRUE VIDEO - Scroll up

  INV VIDEO - Scroll down

 together with the Symbol Shift

   Q - reduction of the position

   W - increasing the position

 R - the previous pattern
 T - the following pattern

 A - decrease of Step
 S - Step increase

 . - The beginning of the block
 - End of block

 Y - transposition block down
 U - transposition block up

 E - brutally erased block of memory

 "- Lose the pattern

 K - remove markings

 C - copy marked block
 to place the cursor

 H - help for commands
 (You are unlikely to remember all at once)

 I - Insert pattern in the table

 D - delete the pattern from the table

 Z - erasing the contents of the pattern

 X - erasing all patterns

 I - 1-Line Up

 K - 1 line down

 and the actions and cursor buttons

 Edit - edit the output of the pattern.
 _

 PLAY - loses all tone.

 STOP - stops the playback.

 CONTINUE - continue playing from the point where you clicked 
STOP.  _


 DISK OPT. - Takes you to a submenu disco O options:

 LOAD SONG
 LOAD MOD
 SAVE SONG
 SAVE MOD

 Eto_vse_optsii_ot_RIFF_TRACKERA.

 There are two (so far):

 D.S. SONG
 D.S. MOD

 This option is to convert music from the DIGITAL STUDIO, and 
if converted to MOD, then rip out and samples, and the 4-x

bit from the standard DS'sovskogo module and an 8-bit version 
of a covox. True, I have my own version, and I have not seen 
someone else, but I hope here everything will be smooth. Yes, 
pay attention the fact that the DS 4 octaves, and RT

only 3 more accurately translated in 3 octaves.

 Oh, and conversion of DS in the MOD
may take a considerable amount of time, so not much worry.

 So, now that the interesting window, which is early in the 
second third of the screen: this is not a simple box, this box 
gold, and it is intended for headlining the composition. Called 
only of the disk options.


 EXIT, wherever found - this is the output
 main menu.
 _

 ABOUT button is not very interesting for its
variety. Not worth it very often
press.
 _

 SETUP - will allow you some glyuchnovatyh computers forcibly 
shut down: 

 Kempston MOUSE
 Kempston JOYSTICK
 and change the drive.
 _

Button-arrows change the value

   in the boxes to the left or top of itself.
 _

 Now look at the sample editor (almost Editor). First picture:


 SMP.ED. - Will take you to the editor of samples. Well, back 
to normal editor it still Aleko, of course.


 Buttons editor of samples:

 LOAD - load the sample, but not the same as
may seem at first glance. First, you need to select a catalog 
and sample press ENTER.


 The selected sample is moved to the right
 window, but will not boot.

 So to put in all the right window
you need samples. Then click
REL. All samples will be loaded on
queue. This inconvenience is inevitable, and ask
I am not to blame. This firmware flaws
ROM Music board - because it was created for sound toys, and to 
write music. redatora the firmware should be make some 
modifications, that in itself is not very hasty pace and

done.

 DEL - deletes the selected sample.

 SAVE - uploads the selected sample.

 Button at the bottom - to set the volume,
loops and music instrument bias.

 Consider only the last:

 FINETUNE - setting a smooth shift
notes of the instrument. What is its measure, I do not know, it 
just changes the pitch smoothly.  _


If you suddenly everything freezes or resets, will show up some 
errors or shortcomings, and they show up, be

sure, and if you have not found them, it means that the editor 
used a little, then this case, do not be lazy please inform the 
author about all the glitches.

 Then in the next version, hopefully, their
will be less or not at will.

 Well, that's all, perhaps.

  Before the meetings, and friends.
