How to trigger release note in pattern?

[Hnicols]

Hi I tried adding a 'stop note' to my pattern but it does not play the release envelope I created in the envelope editor, it just stops the note.

Thanks in advance.

The stop note will show you a ^^ (note-cut).

To sustain a note, you'll need the == (note-off) command. I'm not exactly sure what the default key for this key is, as I'm using the IT shortcut keys. There `= note-off, 1 is note-cut. With FastTracker, this is capslock.

You can of course always look into your settings (keyboard->pattern editor note-col->note-off)

Usually you'd want to use a sustain loop instead of a release node, though.

Also remember Release Nodes are only for volume envelopes, and only work in IT-type tracks (IT, ITP, and MPTM).

There is a pretty detailed section on Release Nodes in the Offline Help Manual.

Actually Release Nodes only work in the MPTM format.
