Basic Editing & Navigation Commands

ARROWs: In screen navigation.
A: Insert Chain/Phrase/Note.
A,A: Insert next unused Chain/Phrase/Instrument. ARPG abcd cycle through relative pitches a, b, c, and d (starting with original
LT+(B,A): Clone. pitch, then up a semitones, b semitones and so forth). The cycle loops if there’s
B+A: Cuts the current Highlighted Item . only zero’s past a given post
A+ARROWS: Updates Highlighted Item value. ARPG 3000: loops between original pitch and +3 semitones
A+UP/DOWN: +/- 0×10. ARPG 4050: loops between original pitch, +4 semitones, +0 semitones, + 5
A+RIGHT/LEFT: +/- 1. semitones
B+ARROWS: Rapid Navigation. speed of arpeggiator is constant and can not be changed
B+UP/DOWN: Page up/down in Song Screen, Next/Previous Phrase in CRSH aabb with aa = pre crush drive (from 1 to 0xFF 00=no change) bb = crush
Current Chain in Phrase Screen. Navigation +/- 0×10 in Instrument/Table Screen. setting (from 0 to 0xF 0×0= 1 bit // 0xF = 16bit )
B+LEFT/RIGHT: Next/Previous Channel in Chain/Phrase Screen. FCUT aabb adjust the filter cutoff to bb at speed aa
Navigation +/- 1 in Instrument/Table Screen. Switch between Song and Live FCUT 0080 will instantly set the filter cutoff to 50%
Modes in Song Screen. FCUT 1000 will close the filter entirely at speed 10
RT+ARROWS: Navigate between the Screens. FLTR aabb lowpass filter, set absolute frequency value for cutoff aa & resonance
bb
Selections FLTR 00FF is un-adultered sound
a few ways to make a selection: FRES aabb adjust the filter resonance to bb at speed aa
LT+B: Starts selection mode with only the data at the cursor selected FRES 08FF will raise the resonance to screeching at speed 08
LT+B+B: Starts selection mode with the cursor's row selected HOP ---a play position will jump to the next phrase in a chain, jumping directly at
LT+B+B+B: Starts selection mode with the entire screen selected position a in the phrase.
once a selection is started you can do a few more things: hop is instant: instrument triggers and commands on the same row will be run.
ARROWS: will make an existing selection bigger or smaller no effect on instruments
B: copy selection to buffer, or KILL –aa instrument will stop playing after aa ticks.
LT+A: cut current selection LEGA aabb performs an exponential pitch slide from previous note value to pitch
And then: bb at speed aa.
LT+A: paste the clipboard content at current location 00 is the fastest speed for aa (instant, useless)
bb values are relative: 00-7F are up, 80-FF are down, expressed in semi-tones
Playback if LEGA is put on a row where a note is present and the pitch offset is 0 (e.g.
B+LT/B+RT : In song screen toggle between live & song mode C4 I3 LEGA 1000) the slide will occur automatically from previous note to the
current one at the given speed.
song mode: If an instrument is not triggered on the same row as LEGA, the command will
START: In song screen, starts / stop the song In phrase,chain starts / stop re-trigger the previous instrument (unless the previous instrument is still playing).
playing the current chain/phrase if there is a blank spot in a row lgpt doesn’t LEGA does exponential pitch change (i;e. it goes at same speed through all

RT+START: In phrase/chain starts playing the full song from current position LPOF aaaa LooP OFset: Shift both the loop start & loop end values aaaa digits
LPOF 0001 adds one to both values, LFOF FFFF removes one
live mode: reset everytime you start a new note (same as volume, pitch)
START: Queues the selected chain The queued chain will play when the chain LPOF is absolute

next chain which finnishes on any channel will start the queued one. Queued playing
phrases are shown with a blinking ‘>’. every time you trigger a sample LPOF is set back to the instrument parameters
Pressing START a second time will queue the position in immediate mode MDCC aabb

If queuing is enabled in the chain/phrase screen, the current edited chain will be to chunk aa or relatively move forward/back bb chunks.

PTCH is also time for the first two byte nibble
Muting PITCH is linear pitch change
RT+B: Toggles mute/unmute of cursor channel RTRG aabb retrigger the sound by looping the from current play position over a
if RT is released before B, channel stays mutes certain amount of ticks.
if B is released before RT, channel goes back to original state bb is the number of ticks used for the looping.
RT+A: Solo cursor channel aa is an additional value that allows to move the loop forward of aa ticks each
if RT is released before A, channel stays solo’ed time the loop has been done.
if A is released before RT, all channel go back to original state RTRG 0001: loop one tick from current play position
LT+RT: restore full playback on all channels RTRG 0102: loop of two ticks but move the loop one tick every loop
RT+A,RT+B can be used in conjunction with selections. If a selection is RTRG 0101: does not do anything because after looping one tick, you move

TABL –aa triggers table aa
System Operations TMPO -aaa sets the tempo to hex value aaaa.
TMPO 0000 is safe and doesn’t effect the tempo at all.
Return to the song selection screen by pressing TMPO 003C (60bpm) is the lowest acceptable value and TMPO 0190
L_SHOULDER+R_SHOULDER+SELECT (Esc on windows). warning: all data is (400bpm) is the highest acceptable value
