A chiptune module tracker for KC 85/4.


Operation instructions

MoodyTracker can be operated by keyboard. The Functions are selected by underlined keyboard shortcuts, that can be seen on the buttons.
The keys have to be handled in combination with shift. Piano playing functionality is offered otherwise.
Edit mode can be toggled by space bar as well.

Most functions should work like in real ProTracker, where the ui layout is obtained from.


Example:

  1. Press 'k' for Disk Operation
  2. Press 'l' for LOAD
  3. Start tape to load a module
  4. Press 'p' for start playing
  5. Press 's' to stop replay
  6. Press <BRK> for exit
  7. Press 'y' to confirm


Special controls:

Currently playing note can be stopped by <STOP> key on original KC 85 keyboard or <ESC> alternatively in piano mode.

Position, pattern and song length can be selected first with respective key and then changed by cursor arrow keys up and down while they are blinking.
After changing to a desired value <RETURN> can be hit to finish the procedure.

Volume control specifies what channels are taken into account for volume changes.
This can be toggled by 'v' key. (N = none, L = left, R = right, B = both)

Quantize (space) settings can be toggled by 'q' key.
(values: 1..8)

Patterns can be flipped through forward and backward by '>' and '<' keys.
