Doing this while clicking on the scroll buttons does the same thing) Shift Scrolls the hiliting in increments of a specific number of steps (Default = 4, see also the Option modifier) Open Apple Moves you to either the first or last instrument Option Brings out a dialog that allows you to configure the behavior of the button or keypress (GRAPHICS VIEWERS SELECTOR) --------------------------- Key sequences Effect ------------- ------ Up Arrow Scrolls up the list Down Arrow Scrolls down the list Return Selects the current viewer ESC Cancels the dialog (OCTASCOPE GRAPHICS VIEWER) --------------------------- Key sequences Effect ------------- ------ Space Bar Toggle volume mode (UNISCOPE GRAPHICS VIEWER) -------------------------- Key sequences Effect ------------- ------ Space Bar Turns off mixing if at least one track is already actively mixing at that time. Otherwise, it automatically sets the number of mixing tracks to the maximum amount that the current module type supports 1 to 8 Toggles the mixing of each of the 8 possible tracks (OCTAVU GRAPHICS VIEWER) ------------------------ Key sequences Effect ------------- ------ 1 to 8 Toggles one of the 8 possible tracks on or off (PROTRACKER CDA - MONITOR) -------------------------- Key sequences Effect ------------- ------ OA-S Toggles between logarithmic and linear volume scaling OA-Return Toggles song looping Option-Return Toggles variables reseting when looping Space Bar Toggles between Note display and actual Amiga Periods OA-Space Bar Pause/Unpause song Left Arrow Moves line back 1 Right Arrow Moves line forward 1 Shift-Left Arrow Moves pattern back 1 Shift-Right Arrow Moves pattern forward 1 1 to 8 Toggles the active tracks h,H Flips between 50Hz and 60Hz interrupts (only in VBlank) i,I Go to Information screen p,P Go to Preferences screen t,T Flips the tempo between CIAB and VBlank (PROTRACKER CDA - PREFERENCES) ------------------------------ Key sequences Effect ------------- ------ OA-S Toggles between logarithmic and linear volume scaling OA-Return Toggles song looping Option-Return Toggles variables reseting when looping TAB Tabs the control between Track volume and Track pan Up Arrow Makes the next slider above active Down Arrow Makes the next slider below active Left Arrow Moves the active slider to the left by 1 step Right Arrow Moves the active slider to the right by 1 step Shift-Left Arrow Moves the active slider to the left by 5 steps Shift-Right Arrow Moves the active slider to the right by 5 steps b,B Activates balanced output (*) e,E Exclusive pan: When activated, this disables all the (*) functions from inheriting stereo panning properties with the exception for Stereo panning. (Leave it on if you dunno what you're doing :) f,F Flip all Left channel outputs to Right and vice versa i,I Go to Information screen l,L Activates loudness control (*) m,M Go to Monitor screen s,S Activates stereo panning (*) t,T Activates stereo pan tracking (Updates the stereo pan table each time a panning effect is used) (*) NOTE: These functions have priorities of execution, going from the highest priority down to the lowest (A higher priority function would cancel out the effect of the lower ones and you are probably already aware of in the CDA if you're observant enough ;) ... Stereo panning: This allows some PC MODs to do their gnarly stereo panning effects Loudness: Makes your normal MODs sound louder Balanced output: Makes the original channel sound ~93.0% as loud as it should be and duplicates it at ~39.8% on the opposing channel (Sonic Blaster owners should try this besides playing with Track volume controls) (PROTRACKER CDA - INFORMATION) ------------------------------ Key sequences Effect ------------- ------ OA-S Toggles between logarithmic and linear volume scaling OA-Return Toggles song looping Option-Return Toggles variables reseting when looping
