00 XXYY FastTracker effect


X FastTracker effect number

Y FastTracker effect parameter




01 XXYY Portamento up



Slides the pitch up.

X Speed (number of halftones per tick)

Y Fine speed (Y/256 halftone)




02 XXYY Portamento down



Slides the pitch down.

X Speed (number of halftones per tick)

Y Fine speed (Y/256 halftone)




03 XXYY Glissando



Slides the pitch to another note. The destination note is the note that accompanies the effect.

X Speed (number of halftones per tick)

Y Fine speed (Y/256 halftone)




04 XXYY Vibrato



Vibrates the pitch

X Speed

Y Depth




07 XXYY Tremolo



Vibrates the volume

X Speed

Y Depth




08 XXYY Set panning and polarity



X Polarity


0 = no polarity


1 = left channel inverted


2 = right channel inverted


3 = both channels inverted

Y Panning (01-FF)


00 = no change


01 = leftmost


80 = middle


FF = rightmost




09 XXYY Set offset



X Hi Offset

Y Offset (01 = 256 samples, 02 = 512 samples, etc.)




0C XXYY Set volume



X Volume (00-FF)


00 = silence


40 = 50%


80 = 100%


FF = 200%

Y Fine volume




0F XXYZ Set tempo, LPB and ticks



X Tempo (BPM)

Y LPB

Z Ticks




10 XXYY Impulse Tracker effect



X Impulse Tracker effect number

Y Impulse Tracker effect parameter




1D 00XY Gapper



Gapper effect.

X Off ticks

Y On ticks




20 CCRR Set cutoff + resonance



Sets the instrument cutoff (if CC is non-zero) and the instrument resonance (if RR is non-zero).

The active instrument doesn't need to have an active filter.



21 AADD Set attack+decay



Sets the instrument attack (if AA is non-zero then attack = AA-1) and decay (if DD is non-zero then decay = DD-1).

This has no effect is the filter is not enabled on the current instrument.



22 CRAD Set cutoff+reso+attack+decay



Sets every synthetiser parameters on the current instrument. It has the same effect as 20 C0R0 and 21 A0D0 at the same time.



24 0000 Reverse



Reverses the sample from the current playing point or from the end of the sample if a note accompanies the effect.



80 XXYY Set track volume



X Volume

Y Fine volume




90 XXYY Set sync. offset



If the sample is synchronized:

X Got to beat X

Y Offset in the beat (in Y/256: 0 = begin of the beat; 80 = middle of the beat; FF = nearly the end of the beat)

Else:

X Divide sample in X parts

Y Go to division Y




9D XXYY Set offset+delay



X Offset (01 = 256 samples, 02 = 512 samples, etc.)

Y Delays the note of Y ticks




CC XXYY Send MIDI CC



X MIDI Controller Code (00-7F)

Y MIDI Controller Value (00-7F)


Note: Greater values restart from zero again.



F0 XXXX Set track effect

  • F0 0006 - turns on distortion
  • F0 0102 - turns on mpReverb
  • F0 0103 - turns on mpReverb2

F0 XXXX to set and X = fx id. Numbering starts from the right: F0 XXX0, XXX1, XXX2 etc.



FX YYYY Set track effect parameter



See Track Effects

Y Track effect parameter value




F9 00XX Set track output
