AdLib tracker is a 9-channel FM tracker for =
the
OPL2-compatible
chips found on most sound cards.
A few years ago, there was a huge variety of
AdLib trackers.
The most common were:
Zwerg Zwack/Chicken's HSC-Tracker,
Jens-Christian Huus' EdLib,
Shayde's Reality AdLib Tracker,
Erik Pojar's Surprise! AdLib Tracker,
and the latest piece of cake - Conqueror's
Amusic.
This new way of AdLib tracking was just that
missing part in scene,
splitting the two different worlds: a world =
of
ugly CMF shit,
as Chicken used to say, and a world of sample
based trackers, such as
FastTracker or Impulse Tracker.
The above trackers became pretty popular and
were used to produce
very nice FM music, short on size but high on
quality. Such tunes were
included in many BBS intros and demos.
Unfortunately, the things
went wrong, and AdLib tracking has come to
fruition.
Nowadays, at the end of second Millennium, i
decided to revive this part
of tracking history. Ladies and gentlemen,
subz3ro is proud to present
you a brandnew AdLib tool - /┤DLiB TR/=
┤CK3R
][.
You may probably ask WHY? Let me use the wor=
ds
of Jens-Christian Huus,
one of the most common people in C64 and AdL=
ib
programming, the author
of EdLib:
"People begun to actually hate FM sound=
s.
The arrival of GUS and AWE32
made wavetable techniques very popular and
indeed it sounds very good,
but there are some things in the old FM
standard that is unique.
You can't fiddle with samples in the same w=
ay
as you can with FM.
I personally never quite liked sampling, i =
find
it downright boring.
With a FM chip it is like on a C64; you hav=
e a
few parameters and
everything you do has to be done within the=
se
parameters.
These boundaries makes it funny to make mus=
ic,
to see how far you can
actually push AdLib. To do sounds on FM
requires expertice but
if you're good at it, almost any instrument=
can
be reproduced properly,
except perhaps drums."

N4/ SA2 (Surprise! AdLib Tracker 2.0) {ver.8=

N1/ XMS (XMS-Tracker)
Because of bug in Amusic's (and its crack
XMS-Tracker's) replay routine,
the Arpeggio effect used to generate buggy
sounds. Since /┤DLiB TR/┤CK3R ][
ain't got a support for such buggy things, t=
he
Arpeggio effect may differ.
After conversion, the Tremolo and Vibrato
effects may sound different,
because FM-Kingtracker uses slow speed table
(not 100% emulated in AT2)
and
optional waveform definitions that are currently not supported.
Also the Retrig Note effect is slightly
different (if i should be honest,
i really couldn't get any sense of Sami's fr=
ame
counting; all i could
do to make this effect sound way
"authentic" was the frame correction during
conversion phase--and this ain't perfect, th=
ough
:)
The OPL3 setting is ignored, Stereo setting =
is
accepted, Rhythm mode is
not supported, because it was incorrectly
implemented in earlier
versions of the tracker, and the author hims=
elf
stopped supporting it.
Also the pattern order list will be truncate=
d to
128 if exceeds.
Conversion of these (primarily sample based)
modules may not be 100% exact.
Therefore Slide Up/Down, Vibrato, and Tone
Portamento effects may be
inaccurate after importing to /┤DLiB T=
R/┤CK3R
][.
Anyway, some experimental methods are used to
fix up the fine-tuning
and frequency slide based Scream Tracker's
effects during
conversion phase (experimental understand as
"non-perfect" :)
Note that the optional vibrato/tremolo wavef=
orms
are not supported.
Also the pattern order list will be truncate=
d to
128 if exceeds.
Since Surprise! AdLib Tracker uses non-stand=
ard
Volume Slide procedure
in replay routine, Volume Slide based effects
may differ after importing
to /┤DLiB TR/┤CK3R ][. Anyway, an
experimental method to fix up
this difference is used during conversion ph=
ase
(blabla, same as above :)
The special arpeggio is also currently not
supported (anyway, there are
no SA2 modules using that feature, afaik :)<= o:p>

The main window of the tracker is roughly
composed of 5 parts:
A. The upper left hand window shows t=
he
Status of the song
(paused, playing,
etc.), row number and order/pattern position,
current speed/tempo,
time playing and file information.
B. The upper right hand window is the
Pattern Order.
There the user can
build the order by which the patterns are played.
C. The main window is the Pattern Edi=
tor
with total count of 18/20 tracks,
5 tracks visible at=
a
time, where the user can compose the song,
enter the notes,
commands, number of instrument, and effects.
D. The Status Line at the bottom where
the user can keep track
of the different mo=
des
and the active mode which is
highlighted (MBoard,
Trace, Debug, Track, Synth!), active octave,
active instrument,
behavior mode, a.o. The user should experiment
to gain familiarity
with different modes that can be activated.
E. The bottom window under Pattern Ed=
itor
shows the Volume Analyzer.
User have to scroll=
up
the rest of main screen to see it.
You can get all the
volume information (carrier and modulator
output level, overa=

it is listed only once (within the carrier
slot).
This parameter is also very important when
making 4-op instruments,

position 3F,
01 is the instrument number, and the followi=
ng
six digits are the
two effect commands, in this case, Set Volum=
e to
20 Hex, and Frequency
Slide Down by 1 unit per frame. Remember that
values for instruments
and effects are always hexadecimal!
You can enter the note by switching into MBo=
ard
mode while the song
is Stopped or while the song is Paused with =
no
Trace or by setting this
mode OFF (Shift+Space to toggle) then by just
typing the note into
the corresponding fields.
Likewise, you can either type in the instrum=
ent
number.
The instrument number corresponds to the act=
ive
instrument.
You can check the active instrumet at the bo=
ttom
of main screen or directly
in the Instrument Control panel.
If in MBoard mode, this will be entered
automatically when a note
is entered through the keyboard (MBoard keys=
).
Typing in the instrument number (if
"update_ins" option is ON) will affect
the numbers in following lines and the active
instrument in Instrument
Control panel. After you have edited all your
patterns, you have
to determine the pattern order. For that sim=
ply
use the Pattern Order
editor. Enter (while the song is Stopped or
while it is
Played with no Trace) will toggle the Pattern
Order editor.
Furthermore, you can define a restart positi=
on.
Here's an example:
Let's say you have entered three patterns
(numbers 0, 1 and 2) and
want to play the pattern 2 twice, then patte=
rn 0
and finally
pattern number 1 three times. Afterwards the
music should start
from order 2 (with the pattern 0) again.
Edit the pattern order like this:
&n=
bsp;
┌─────────γ=

&n=
bsp;
│ 00 02 │ 04 =

To enter the notes /┤DLiB TR/┤CK=

][ uses a piano-like keyboard layout
when in MBoard mode (see chapter III, part
"I" for the layout).
The program supports 8 octaves. You can see =
the
active octave in the bottom
of main screen or directly in the Octave Con=
trol
panel.
When both MBoard and Tracking mode are OFF, =
you
can type in the notes
into their corresponding fields.

The tracker is capable of highlighting
corresponding lines.
Y=

can toggle this mode on-and-off with Alt+M, and setup by Alt+L.
You can preview an instrument before
loading it.
In
the file open dialog or bank browser, use MBoard keys while
cursor is positioned on instrument you want to preview.
When in Debug mode, you can trace the
song row by row
w=

Space key from Pattern Editor as well as from Debug info
window toggled by holding Ctrl+Alt. When the song is played
w=

Trace, you can temporarily turn on Debug mode and process
r=

by row playing with Space key directly from Debug info window.
When transposing patterns, it's somet=
imes
useful to keep some of
n=
otes
intact from changes (e.g. drums).
Y=
ou
can do that by holding Right-Shift key while putting notes
u=

and effect ZF4
You are able to gain different setups=
for
corresponding directory
by
creating directory-specific configuration.
Simply place your "ini" file where you want to use corresponding<= o:p>
setup, and run the tracker from within this directory (it's useful
to
make a batch file there).
You can use shortkey [BackSpace] for
upper-dir and [\] for root
in
File Selector.
You can play your songs one after another by
pressing Shift+Enter
instead of Enter key in File Selector.
While working with 4-op tracks, marking
instruments
in
Instrument Control panel will choose a set of instruments
f=
or
corresponding 4-op tracks. Two instruments will be then
always used as "current" instead of one.
Y=
ou
can keep track of them in the Instrument Control panel as well
a=
s in
the Status Line.
While working with 4-op tracks, panning wor=
ks
within both
channels if you have used some AM connection at least in one
of
the two instruments. You are then able for example play some
operators in one channel and others elsewhere.
While working with instrument
macro-definitions, don't forget
to
paste appropriate instrument data to FM-register table
f=
irst
in order to use it. You can do that with ^Enter key, which
pastes default instrument data to current row.
While working with clipboard, you can use p=
aste
same copied object
t=
o more
pattern(s) quite easily. Simply copy the object to clipboard
as
usual, and press [Alt][Shift] P key.
T=
hen
the Pattern List will appear, where you can select a single pattern
or
multiple patterns with [Space] as a destination.
T=
hen
press Enter key to apply.
You can load a pattern to a multiple
destination--pattern(s) when
in
Pattern List and there are some marked patterns.
Simply mark one or several patterns with [Space] and load
desired pattern file.
If working with percussion mode (respect th=
en
:) percussion
tracks SD/TT/TC/HH may stop responding. Go to the File Variables
window and set the percussion mode switch off-and-on.
A=
fter
1-3 retries the tracks should start responding again.
While testing/previewing an instrument with=
in
Instrument Control,
Instrument Editor or bank browser, you can check the macro table
k=
ey-off
phase of this instrument. In order to do that,
h=
old
[Ctrl] key before releasing the MBoard key, and note(s) will
t=
rail
in key-off phase until you release [Ctrl] key.
Furthermore, you can check the key-off phase with "key-off loop".=
&nbs=
p; In
this case, hold the Ctrl+Alt keys pressed when releasing
t=
he
MBoard key.
The tracker features both simple playback m=
ode
and playback mode
w=
ith
synchronization. The advantage of synchro-playback is that
y=
ou
can gain authentic and accurate sound at any time and any point.
T=
he
playback is synchronized everytime when it's neccassary, so
a=
ll
the playing effects, song tempo, song speed, song timer a.o. are
j=
ust
the same as they are when playing whole song from start.
T=
he
disadvantage is that it sometimes takes awhile (maybe longer :)
w=
hen
playback synchronizes (depending on CPU and song structure)
Anyway, you can leave the sync-mode using [Alt] variant of playback
shortkey (i.e. Alt+F5, Alt+F8 and Alt+F9) even if the song
is
already playing. Note that you can set up playing without
synchronization as the default action in configuration file (set
option "nosync_by_default" to ON).
You can play the current pattern in
single-playing mode.
It
means, that you are able to play patterns that are not signed
in
pattern order. The whole pattern is played with repeating then.
Y=
ou
can toggle this playback mode with Alt+F6.
If working with macro-definitions, you can
disable one or more
columns in FM-register table. This is useful when you need
to
change only single or a few parameters (i.e. volume fading,
p=
itch
sliding) with macro-definitions and other parameters
w=
ith
pattern effects. This mode works similary as disabling tracks
in
Pattern Editor, but using Ctrl+Backspace for single
ON/OFF instead.
When making macro-instruments, it's sometim=
es
useful to reset
t=
he
ADSR envelope several times during macro-cycle. You can do this
by
setting the note retrigger for appropriate row of macro-table;
Ctrl+N toggles ON the retrigger for corresponding row and Ctrl+Alt+N
resets flags on all rows.
You can control the playback from within the
Instrument Control
p=
anel.
Following commands are functional:
F5 &=
nbsp; Play
F6 &=
nbsp; Pause
F7 &=
nbsp; Stop
F9 &=
nbsp; Play current pattern or order only
[Ctrl] Home,End * Skip to previous/next pattern while Tracing
+,- * Same as above; play pattern from st=
art
N=
OTE:
Commands marked with asterisk (*) work only while the name
&n=
bsp;
of instrument is not being edited.
You can control current instrument directly=
in
Macro Editor window
u=
sing
Ctrl+[] keys. It is even possible to control current instrument
and octave while in
macro-preview mode.
When working with /┤DLiB TR/┤CK=
3R
][ native bank files (A2B, A2W),
you can force loading comp=
lete
bank instead of going to bank browser.
This can be done easily by
pressing Shift+Enter instead of Enter key
in File Selector.
TiP 25
All options from config file can be controlled also directly
f=
rom
command line. Syntax for usage is as following:
"adtrack2.exe [[/cfg:option] [...]]"
e.g.
"adtrack2.exe /cfg:sdl_screen_mode=3D2 /cfg:sdl_frame_rate=3D150"
TiP 26
When deleting notes in Note Recorder mode, you can fast-forward
o=

playback while deleting them. All you need to do is
p=

Up or Down key while still holding the Backspace key.
Furthermore, you can delete all notes within marked group of tracks<= o:p>
a=

with pressing Ctrl+Backspace.

When working with banks containing 4OP instruments, it may be
sometimes useful to put instrument data from one of the 2 paired
instruments only. This can be done by pressing Shift+Enter
i=
nstead
of Enter (which puts instrument data for complete 4OP pair).
