problem with param-control-notes

[Paul Legovitch]

Thank you for the answer, I understand. As usual drawbacks can be considered as advantages and vice versa.
PC-notes are very promising for sure, (the hijacking continues...) I think it would be great to be able to convert a VSTi patch (preset) into a list of PC notes (in the cilpboard), so that a new patch could be "loaded" during a song via this list written in several rows of a pattern when the VSTi is not playing.

Back to the topic :
In IT format, I use several effects for humanization :
- E/F/G (pitch slide/glissando)
- SDx (delay) : to play the note a bit before or after the beat.
- O : sample offset to alter the timbre.
- S9F : to play the sample backward (good for violins, some guitars)
- H/R : vibrato (H) and tremolo (R) are good when holding long notes.
I sometimes like to use a long instrument filter envelope, with envelope carry.
Varying how notes end is also possible with note off/note fade or quick D0x volume slide down (can be combined with vibrato or pitch down).

I'm not sure how XM commands and instruments convert to IT - though I think you'll have better luck going in that direction.

Here are some coding examples and remember I was developing the technique so not all parts are excellent examples as well I am NOT an excellent module coder - not all all like the greats. But at least I understand these and can tell you what I'm doing if needed. The bass often has slides as well. In fact that bass sample is great! Some anonymous person made it and I have yet to find a better one.

Beware I do use guitar feedback samples liberally - but the distinction should be clear. On guit09-5.zip I tried to include a bit of the noise a guitar makes when played in the style - but this seems to have been lost upon the listener and just sounds like "errors".

To continue the hijacking...

I'm not sure how XM commands and instruments convert to IT - though I think you'll have better luck going in that direction.

IT instruments are a superset of XM instruments. Most XM pattern commands are also available in IT. The few missing ones are only Kxx (key off) and Lxx (set envelope position), I think.
