Help File for Transpose

Why?

Often, when using !Tracker, I wanted to raise or decrease the pitch of a
track or even a complete Soundtracker. This application is designed to do 
just that.

How?

Double click the !Transpose application icon and the !Transpose icon will 
appear on the icon bar. Drag a SoundTracker module (filetype &CB6 only) on
to icon and the file will load. Click menu button to select options, most of
which are pretty straightforward.

To transpose anything at all you will need to display the Pattern and
Transpose windows.  The Pattern Number in the Pattern Window is a writable
icon with which you may change the pattern number. Click the icon, enter
the number and hit Return.                           

The Transpose window contains several icons with the following functions.

TRACKS. Click ALL for all tranposition of all tracks, or select tracks 1-8.

PATTS. Click ALL for all patterns, or SELECTED for the pattern in the
Pattern Window.                                        

TRANSPOSE. Click UP or DOWN  to transpose, yes you guessed, UP or DOWN.

SEMITONES. A writable icon with which you may enter the number of semitones
by which you wish to transpose

OK. Go,go,go   

There are no default settings, so all the Transpose Parameters must be set 
up before transposition.

Finally the CHECK icon. If NOT selected, transposition will go ahead, and
any events which would be transposed to a musical pitch outside the three
octave range of !Tracker will be transposed up or down by an octave, so
that they will remain within the three octave range. If CHECK is selected,
then the program will run through the selected parameters and check for
any offending events, but will not actually do any transposing. A window
will appear giving details of the pattern, track and of any offending event.

If you have a 2 megabyte machine, then this application will work in
conjunction with !Tracker. If you save modified SoundTrackers to RAMdisk,
then they can quickly and easily be tested and re-modified as necessary.

I hope you find this application useful. Any comments, bug-reports or
donations to myself as below.
