A long time ago (in 2002, the commercials), our old friend from 
n1k-o/tl Krasnodar (n1k-o read as "Niko") have tried to explain 
one Italian spektrumistu how to use Pro Tracker'om.

Naturally, the conversation went on Basic English:)

-------------------------------------------------- 
-------------> well your tracks R0CkZ!!!! Your sounds are good 
.. your sound is > Good!! But .. I need to know the basilar 
things about this kind of > Tracker .. ok .. I'm in front of 
the program that u gave to me .. my > Patterns are empty .. and 
I don't have any sample or ornament .. 

heh, tnx 4 'roxx':) did u really heard my tracks? kewl, not
russian man heard my muzax:)

first step: try to load any track (xxxxxxxx.m - without player,
xxxxxxxx. c - with player) forexample. then try to understand
anything:) that main way if u want to be zx-spekka muzaker!

second step: try to create your own track or just fill empty
pattern:)

here is sturcture of [edit pattern]


           | A | B | C |

 0 .... | .. | ... .... | ... .... | ... .... |
 1 .... | .. | ... .... | ... .... | ... .... |
 2 .... | .. | ... .... | ... .... | ... .... |

 ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
 1 2 3 4 5678 4 5678 4 5678

1. number of edit line.
2. data of envelope (it's zx-spekka bass! really kewl!:)
3. data of noise for notes in all channels (A, B, C).
4. place for note (forexaple: C-7 - it's mean ... u're know,

   aren't it? :) '7 '- It's number of octave (eight octaves)).
5. number of sample (31 | 1,2,3 ... a, b, c. .. t, u, v).
6. mask for note ('F') or for envelope (envelope = bass: 'E', 
'A' - 

   sounds mellow; 'C', '8 '- sounds harsh and rough).
7. place for ornament (1-F not decimal). :)
8. place for volume (max - 'F', other words in 1915 (F) levels, 
0 

   (Empty place) - without changes).

> (Hehe what's an ornament?)

hmm ... :) Hard to say:) hard to translate too! :]
it's very useful thing, here u can make chords (three notes,
forexample: C, E, G - it'll be C-major) or if u have C-4 than
setting in any ornament:

[Edit ornament]


     0 12 <1

     1 -12 <1 that'll 'blam' sound:))
2> [2] 00 <1

     ^

     3

or here is example of C-major::)

2> [0 00 <1

     1 04 <1 that'll chord or we says trill:)
2> 2] 07 <1

     ^

     3

1. how many up notes from base-note (- it's placed in edit

   pattern!) - '+' and how many down notes from base-note - '-'.
2. it's loop.
3. number of place for note.

yeah! :) I can, i can! :) Hope u'll understand it.

> Well I need to create them .. hem .. where? how? :> And .. 
when I > Have create a sample I have to play it with different 
tunes .. 

ok, let's create a sample.

[Edit sample]

 0 ... -.... | .. | T - ############### F
 1 ... -.... | .. | T - ############### F
 2 ... -.... | .. | T - ##############. E
 3 ... -.... | .. | T - #############.. D
[4 ... -.... | .. | T - #############.. D
 5] -.. -.... | .. | T - #############.. D

that example of easy sample, just sounds Tone (T)

ok, here is structure of sample:

[0] ... -.... | .. | TNE ############### F

 ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
 1 234 5 6 789 A

1. number of sample line (0-63) with loops (as ornament).
2. '+' - Volume's encreasing up and '-' - volume's decreasing

   down.
3. that's activate slide (up / down) for '5 '(hard to 
translate). 4. that's activate slide (up / down) for '6 '.

5. it can be used in hard samples with '3 ', forexample, drum

   (It'll down text). u may set here a frequence for note,

   that's main trouble on 'way of muzaker':) try to understand

   it in your practise.
6. data of Noise (N) (0-31 - decimal)
7. 'T' - Tone, sounds clear. (Great sound:)
8. 'N' - Noise, sounds as noise:)
9. 'E' - Envelope (we says - 'ogibayushaya';) if 'on' than

   sample will sounds as bass (mask ('6 '- edit pattern) must be

   not 'F').
A. volume of sample [0-F (1915) not decimal]

that's example of drum:

 0 ... -0200 | .. | T - ############### F
 1 ... -0400 | .. | T - ############### F
 2 ... -0900 | .. | T - ##############. E
[3] ... .... | .. | --- ...............


that's example of drum with bass ('n':)

 0 ... -0200 | .. | T - ############### F
 1 ... -0400 | .. | T - ############### F
 2 ... -0900 | .. | T - ##############. E
[3] ... -.... | .. | - E ...............


that's example of bass:

[0] ... -.... | .. | - E ############### F


that's example of bass with Tone:

[0] ... -.... | .. | T-E ############### F

and many-many others combinations:)

just research my or other tracks and u'll find MUZAKING 8)

> I really don't know nothing about this kind of tracking .. but
> It's awesome .. the sound is GREAT .. hem:> help me:>
