USER INTERFACE OVERVIEW (DOCUMENT VERSION 1.0)
INFO AREA
The info area contains the logo, information
about selected patterns, jamming octave,
raster time, playback time, auto-advance
mode / amount, pulse width meter, filter cut-
off frequency meter and oscilloscope.
main area, waveforms-arpeggio table
(WFARP), pulse table (PULSE) and filter table
(FILT.)
PATTERN EDITOR
SHORTCUT KEY: F5
This is where you write the actual music. You
can edit three different patterns at one time,
one for each of the three channels of the SID
chip.
CHORD TABLE
SHORTCUT KEY: C=+F5 (CTRL+F5)
In this table you can edit and store chords,
you can choose which chord is default for an
instrument, the chord used can be changed in
the pattern editor. Storing the chords
separately from the instruments gives you
more flexibility (you don't have to create
different instruments for different chords).
ORDER LIST
SHORTCUT KEY: F6
This is where you control the whole
arrangement of your tune, i.e. the order of the
patterns etc.
TEMPO-PROGRAM TABLE
SHORTCUT KEY: C=+F7 (CTRL+F7)
This table is only used if you need complex
tempos, see the section about tempos for
more information.
INSTRUMENT EDITOR
SHORTCUT KEY: F7
Here you create the instruments for your
tunes. This area consists of four sections; the
SUBTUNE AND TEMPO
This area shows the active sub tune and the
default tune-tempo / funktempo.
===== page 3 =====
WAVEFORM-ARPEGGIO-DETUNE TABLE (DOCUMENT VERSION 1.0)
WF-COLUMN
$00..$0F Repeat only arpeggio/detune-
columns for 1..16 frames (no
Waveform-change).
$10..$FD Simple WAVEFORM/CONTROL
register value setting.
$FE Jump to a table-position (position
in 2nd (ARP) column, if >=$40, it
jumps to itself).
$FF End of the table, table execution
ends here. This value can't be
typed, it's shown as END at end of
table.
WAVEFORM / CONTROL FIRST NIBBLE
The first nibble of this value sets the
waveform (or combination of waveforms). To
combine waveforms, you add the value for
one waveform to the other, so to combine Saw
tooth and Pulse, the value would be $2 + $4 =
$6. Remember that that noise waveform can't
be combined with other waveforms. The
values for the waveforms are:
$1 TRIANGLE
$2 SAW TOOTH
$4 PULSE
For the pulse waveform to be
audible you need to insert at least
one row in the PULSE table to set
the pulse width.
$8 NOISE
WAVEFORM / CONTROL SECOND NIBBLE
The second nibble (control register) sets
different options for the waveform. These
values can again be combined by adding the
ones you want together, so to put gate on
(like you would normally do) and enable ring
modulation, the result would be $1 + $4 = $5.
To produce “Hard Sync” effects,
explained in the introduction.
$4 RING MODULATION
This is explained in the
introduction.
$8 TEST
This resets and lock the oscillator
at zero until this value is cleared.
ARP-COLUMN
$00 Zero pitch-shifting (prime, '0'
interval) - regain original note-
pitch
$01..$5F Relative pitch-shift upwards in
halftones (positive interval)
$7F Jump to default or pattern-FX set
Chord.
Depending on the chord, the
execution of the waveform table
may continue after the chord.
With this command you can also
override the default chord speed
by setting the speed value in the
(WF) column (values can be
$00..$0F). If you do this, you
should leave the default chord
speed setting to $00.
$80 No process (useful when don’t
want to touch pitch and detune,
just waveform).
$81..$DF Set absolute pitch (frequencies
are identical to C-1..A-8 notes,
see table in the end of this
manual).
$FF..$E0 Relative pitch-shift downwards in
negative direction (negative
interval).
$1 GATE ON
$2 SYNC
The gate needs to be on for the
waveform to be heard.
DT-COLUMN (DETUNE)
$00..$FE Set fine-detuning amount. The
higher the value the sharper the
pitch will be.
$FF No process in detune-table (the
previously set detune-value is
retained).
===== page 4 =====
PULSE WIDTH AND FILTER TABLES
PULSE WIDTH TABLE
$8x..$Fx xx set pulse-waveform's pulse
width hi-nibble and low-byte. A
value of $000 or $FFF will
produce a constant DC output
(silent), a value of $800 will
produce a square wave. The
value of the first nibble doesn't
affect the pulse width, but it has
to be $8..$F.
$00..$7F xx Adds / subtracts signed xx
(0...$7F / $80...$ff) to the pulse
width 0-127 ($00-7F) times, in
other words, this will animate
the pulse width. Use '=' key to
negate a positive value or see
the conversion table in the end
of this manual for signed
decimal values (-128 - 127).
$FE Jump to a position in the table
(position in 2nd column, can
jump to itself)
$FF End of the table, table execution
ends here. This value can't be
typed, it's show as END at end
of table.
FILTER TABLE
$8r..$Fr xx The first nibble sets the filter
band, the possible values are $8
=> filter deactivated, $9 =>
low-pass, $B => low-pass +
band pass, $C => high-pass, $D
=> low-pass + high pass, $E
=> band-pass + high-pass, $F
=> all modes together.
The second nibble (r) sets the
resonance, this can be any
value from $0 to $F, $F giving
the strongest resonance of
course. If band is set to $F (all
modes together) then r can't be
set to $F (this is due to the
reserved end of table value
$FF).
The third and fourth nibbles (xx)
sets the cut-off frequency. Valid
values are $00 - $FF. The
approximate cut-off frequency
ranges between 30Hz and
10KHz.
$00..$7F xx Adds / subtracts signed xx
(0...$7F / $80...$ff) to the cut-
off frequency 0-127 ($00-7F)
times, in other words, this will
generate a filter sweep. Use '='
key to negate a positive value
or see the conversion table in
the end of this manual for
signed decimal values (-128 -
127).
$FE Jump to a position in the table
(position in 2nd column, can
jump to itself)
$FF End of the table, table execution
ends here. This value can't be
typed; it's shown as END at end
of table.

*In Linux the VICE build seems to have up-arrow key associated to Page-Down, while the default would be 'Del'-key (which is good,
because therefore in Linux the Page-Down (up-arrow) is in correct place, below Page-Up, which is associated to Restore C64 key.) In
Linux the 'Del'-key works as Backspace which is better selection IMO.
*Note that in follow-play modes the pattern-editor keys are inactive to prevent accidental editing while playing the tune.
