Vibrato, x =
speed, y
= depth. Sine pitch modulation.
|
7xy
|
![](spacer.gif) |
Tremelo, x =
speed, y
= depth. Sine volume modulation.
|
8xy
|
![](spacer.gif) |
Arpeggio. Alternates note
between specified half-note values each frame.
|
Axy
|
![](spacer.gif) |
Volume slide, value is the
speed. x
= up, y
= down
|
Cxx
|
![](spacer.gif) |
Set volume, maximum is $3F.
(the NES 2A03 PSG only has 16 volume levels,
though)
|
Dxx
|
![](spacer.gif) |
Pattern break, value is the
starting row of next pattern in hex. (bug:
using values other than $00 will cause the current
replay code to go haywire.)
|
Fxx
|
![](spacer.gif) |
Set speed. Default is $06.
Lower values are faster.
Global BPM = 125 (1/50 frames per second)

Theoretically, you could
modify the replay program and create your own
effect, though it would do nothing inside the
tracker itself.
