Давным-давно  (году эдак в 2002) наш старый знакомый n1k-o/tl из
Краснодара (n1k-o читается как "нИко") пытался  объяснить одному
итальянскому  спектрумисту,  как  пользоваться   Pro Tracker'ом.
Естественно, разговор шёл на упрощённом английском :)

----------------------------------------------------------------
>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 (8 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 15 (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 (3 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 (15) 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 :>
