NEW:
****
Instrument-Remap
----------------
--> IRM
BCLK...block
TRCK...track
PATT...pattern
SONG...song
F1/F2 or mouse to select instruments side
use standard instrument-selection to select instrument
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW:
****
Fixed Overwrite/Overlay/Underlay
--------------------------------
working on pattern, track or block
Should now behave like in MaxYMizer.
Song/Voice optimizer --> /CTCOMP/
---------------------------------
-export as CVO (song/voice only)
-export as MUS (player+song/voice)
-export as SNDH (SNDH-header+player+song/voice)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW:
****
40xx ... SID octave detune shift (0=none, <0 - shift right, >0 - shift left)
41xx ... Syncbuzzer octave detuneshift (0=none, <0 - shift right, >0 - shift left)
This applies a shift on the MFP-frequency.
This means that the MFP-frequency will be octave shifted to the YM or HW-frequency.
shift right: lower frequency --> less CPU-time
shift left: higher frequency --> more CPU-time
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW:
****
- edit_step saved
- on all transpose functions:
if cursor is on volume --> increment/decrement volume
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRK...Trakker
IED...Instrument editor
LMB ..... Left Mouse Button
RMB ..... Right Mouse Button
SHIFT ... Left Shift key
TRK: Escape to return to menu
IED: Escape to return to trakker
TRK&IED: Use numeric keys to set octave (0...6)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shortcuts
---------
TAB - move to next channel
Space ... run/stop play
Delete ... delete current track-line
CONTROL+1,2,3 ... toogle channel On/Off
Insert ...... insert line at current line and current channel
Backspace ... Backwards delete at current line and current channel
SHIFT+1 switch to instrument editor
SHIFT+2 stop sound/replay
SHIFT+3 play whole song from start
SHIFT+4 play current pattern looped from line 0
SHIFT+5 toogle record on/off (or use button)
F1 transpose up pattern if on volume->inc volume
F2 transpose down pattern if on volume->dec volume
F3 cut pattern
F4 copy pattern
F5 paste pattern
SHIFT+F1 transpose up track if on volume->inc volume
SHIFT+F2 transpose down track if on volume->dec volume
SHIFT+F3 cut track
SHIFT+F4 copy track
SHIFT+F5 paste track
SHIFT+F9 transpose current instrument up in track if on volume->inc volume
SHIFT+F10 transpose current instrument down in track if on volume->dec volume
--> If instrument == current instrument --> transpose note! ***
CTRL+F1 transpose up block if on volume->inc volume
CTRL+F2 transpose down block if on volume->dec volume
--> transpose block-bounds in current edit-channel!!
(f.e. block set in channel 0, changed to channel 1
--> transpose block-bounds in channel 1 !)
CTRL+F3 cut block
CTRL+F4 copy block --> also see: CTRL+F7
CTRL+F5 paste block
CTRL+F6 mark start of block
CTRL+F7 mark end of block --> also does copy block!!
CTRL+F9 transpose current instrument up in block if on volume->inc volume
CTRL+F10 transpose current instrument down in block if on volume->dec volume
--> If instrument in block == current instrument --> transpose note!
Note on block-transpose:
only the block-bounds of the channel data are transposed,
the actual block-data remains unaffected!!
CTRL+left arrow : go to previous song position
CTRL+right arrow : go to next song position
F7 ... set line position
