The extended offset

[Rakib]

Not sure if this fits here or under the technical documents, but how to use it?

It fits under the technical documents, but you cannot post there X) A mod will move it there once its answered and thus has become a technical document.

I do think that this question has been answered already somewhere though.

I wonder if you mean SAx or the #xx command... The latter has been described in the release notes for OpenMPT RC1.

SAx commands

[Saga Musix]

well that's REALLY simple.

If you have SAx and Oyz, then you will get...

Offset = 65536 * x + 256 * yz.

This command works per channel. You will have to write SAx before Oxx to get it working, for example...

Code Select Expand


O20
O40
O60
SA1
O20


would create the three offsets 20h, 40h and 120h. Multiply it by 100h and you will have your offset in samples.

I support this to be in the tech doc forum. If so I will wipe this post.

I think the note properties dialog needs a better description here anyway...

[Rakib]

Thanks a lot.

It was quite easy to use. Noticed it first when I saw a sample I was using that had beyond offset range.

But to continue in the same pattern, what is the #xx-command or how does this it work?

look for "Parameter extension pattern effect".
