# effect list

some of the effect numbers are taken from ProTracker / FastTracker 2.

however, effects are continuous (unless specified), which means you only need to type it once and then stop it with an effect value of `00` or no effect value at all.

## volume

- `0Axy`: **Volume slide.**
  - if `x` is 0 then this slides volume down by `y` each tick.
  - if `y` is 0 then this slides volume up by `x` each tick.
- `FAxy`: **Fast volume slide.** same as `0Axy` above but 4× faster.
- `F3xx`: **Fine volume slide up.** same as `0Ax0` but 64× slower.
- `F4xx`: **Fine volume slide down.** same as `0A0x` but 64× slower.
- `F8xx`: **Single tick volume up.** adds `x` to volume.
- `F9xx`: **Single tick volume down.** subtracts `x` from volume.
  - ---
- `D3xx`: **Volume portamento.** slides volume toward the new value instead of jumping immediately. `x` is the speed of the slide.
- `D4xx`: **Volume portamento (fast).** same as `D3xx` but 256× faster.
  - ---
- `07xy`: **Tremolo.** changes volume to be "wavy" with a sine LFO. `x` is the speed. `y` is the depth.
  - tremolo is downward only.
  - maximum tremolo depth is -60 volume steps.
  - ---
- `D3xx`: **Volume portamento.** slides the volume to the one specified in the volume column. `x` is the slide speed.
  - a volume _must_ be present with this effect for it to work.
- `D4xx`: **Volume portamento (fast).** like `D3xx` but four times faster.

## pitch

- `E5xx`: **Set pitch.** `00` is -1 semitone, `80` is base pitch, `FF` is nearly +1 semitone.
- `01xx`: **Pitch slide up.**
- `02xx`: **Pitch slide down.**
- `F1xx`: **Single tick pitch up.**
- `F2xx`: **Single tick pitch down.**
  - ---
- `03xx`: **Portamento.** slides the currently playing note's pitch toward the new note. `x` is the slide speed.
  - a note _must_ be present with this effect for it to work.
  - the effect stops automatically when it reaches the new note.
- `E1xy`: **Note slide up.** `x` is the speed, while `y` is how many semitones to slide up.
- `E2xy`: **Note slide down.** `x` is the speed, while `y` is how many semitones to slide down.
  - ---
- `EAxx`: **Toggle legato.** while on, new notes instantly change the pitch of the currently playing sound instead of starting it over.
- `E6xy`: **Quick legato (compatibility).** transposes note by `y` semitones after `x` ticks.
  - if `x` is between 0 and 7, it transposes up.
  - if `x` is between 8 and F, it transposes down.
- `E8xy`: **Quick legato up**. transposes note up by `y` semitones after `x` ticks.
- `E9xy`: **Quick legato down**. transposes note down by `y` semitones after `x` ticks.
- `00xy`: **Arpeggio.** this effect produces a rapid cycle between the current note, the note plus `x` semitones and the note plus `y` semitones.
- `E0xx`: **Set arpeggio speed.** this sets the number of ticks between arpeggio values. default is 1.
  - ---
- `04xy`: **Vibrato.** makes the pitch oscillate. `x` is the speed, while `y` is the depth.
  - maximum vibrato depth is ±1 semitone.
- `E3xx`: **Set vibrato shape.** `xx` may be one of the following:
  - `00`: sine (default)
  - `01`: sine (upper portion only)
  - `02`: sine (lower portion only)
  - `03`: triangle
  - `04`: ramp up
  - `05`: ramp down
  - `06`: square
  - `07`: random
  - `08`: square (up)
  - `09`: square (down)
  - `0a`: half sine (up)
  - `0b`: half sine (down)
- `E4xx`: **Set vibrato range** in 1/16th of a semitone. 

## panning

not all chips support these effects.

- `08xy`: **Set panning.** changes stereo volumes independently. `x` is the left channel and `y` is the right one.
- `88xy`: **Set rear panning.** changes rear channel volumes independently. `x` is the rear left channel and `y` is the rear right one.
- `81xx`: **Set volume of left channel** (from `00` to `FF`).
- `82xx`: **Set volume of right channel** (from `00` to `FF`).
- `89xx`: **Set volume of rear left channel** (from `00` to `FF`).
- `8Axx`: **Set volume of rear right channel** (from `00` to `FF`).
  - ---
- `80xx`: **Set panning (linear).** this effect behaves more like other trackers:
  - `00` is left.
  - `80` is center.
  - `FF` is right.
  - ---
- `83xy`: **Panning slide.**
  - if `y` is 0 then this pans to the left by `x` each tick.
  - if `x` is 0 then this pans to the right by `y` each tick.
  - be noted that panning macros override this effect.
- `84xy`: **Panbrello.** makes panning oscillate. `x` is the speed, while `y` is the depth.
  - be noted that panning macros override this effect.

## time

- `09xx`: **Set speed/groove.** if no grooves are defined, this sets speed. if alternating speeds are active, this sets the first speed.
- `0Fxx`: **Set speed 2.** during alternating speeds or a groove, this sets the second speed.
  - ---
- `Cxxx`: **Set tick rate.** changes tick rate to `xxx` Hz (ticks per second).
  - `xxx` may be from `000` to `3FF`.
- `F0xx`: **Set BPM.** changes tick rate according to beats per minute. range is `01` to `FF`.
  - ---
- `FDxx`: **Set virtual tempo numerator.** sets the virtual tempo's numerator to the effect value.
- `FExx`: **Set virtual tempo denominator.** sets the virtual tempo's denominator to the effect value.
  - ---
- `0Bxx`: **Jump to order.** `x` is the order to play after the current row.
  - this marks the end of a loop with order `x` as the loop start.
- `0Dxx`: **Jump to next pattern.** skips the current row and remainder of current order. `x` is the row at which to start playing the next pattern.
  - this can be used to shorten the current order as though it had a different pattern length.
- `FFxx`: **Stop song.** stops playback and ends the song. `x` is ignored.

## note

- `0Cxx`: **Retrigger.** repeats current note every `xx` ticks.
  - this effect is not continuous; it must be entered on every row.
- `ECxx`: **Note cut.** triggers note off after `xx` ticks. this triggers key off in FM/hardware envelope chips, or cuts note otherwise.
- `EDxx`: **Note delay.** delays note by `x` ticks.
- `FCxx`: **Note release.** releases current note after `xx` ticks. this releases macros and triggers key off in FM/hardware envelope chips.
- `E7xx`: **Macro release.** releases macros after `xx` ticks. this does not trigger key off.

## sample offset

these effects make the current playing sample on the channel jump to a specific position.
only some chips support this effect.

sample offset is a 24-bit (3 byte) number.

- `90xx`: **Set sample offset (first byte).**
- `91xx`: **Set sample offset (second byte).**
- `92xx`: **Set sample offset (third byte).**

you may use these effects simultaneously in a row.

if you do not set a byte, its last value will be used.

in previous versions of Furnace a `9xxx` effect existed which set the sample position to `$xxx00` (`xxx` was effectively multiplied by 256). this maps to `920x 91xx` in current Furnace.

## other

- `EBxx`: **Set LEGACY sample mode bank.** selects sample bank. used only for compatibility.
  - does not apply on Amiga.
- `EExx`: **Send external command.**
  - this effect is currently incomplete.
- `F5xx`: **Disable macro.**
- `F6xx`: **Enable macro.**
- `F7xx`: **Restart macro.**
  - see macro table at the end of this document for possible values.

additionally, [each chip has its own effects](../7-systems/README.md).
