Hopefully you'll get some bleo love in this thread as he is the Table Master but in the meantime:

For volume shifts in particular there's a couple things to remember.  You'll almost certainly want to set your instrument volume to zero like so:

This is so your instrument can start from quiet and swell upwards.
Next you need to use the Hop command in your table to give the volume commands some time to take effect like so:

So the first volume command raises the volume from zero to 30 at speed 03.
Then the hop command makes the table "wait" on step 01 for 08 ticks.
Next volume command lowers the volume to zero at speed 03.
Hop command "waits" on step 03 for 08 ticks.
Final hop command sends the cursor back to step 00.

Variations of that setup will give you vibrato etc depending on what you use in place of volume commands.
Hope that helps!  smile

If I remember correctly, there should be another foam pad (like the red/orange one's in your pics) that keeps the EL contacts pressed against the circuit board.  I can't tell from these pics if you have that?

Downloading for my afternoon commute.  Looks cool.

In a way, it's always like a paranoia, I mean no one on this forum invented chiptune...

It's easy to forget how small chipmusic still is and how relatively new as an artform it is.  The "inventors" of chiptune as distinct from pure game soundtracks or cracktros are still very much around and even on this forum.  Even 2nd and 3rd generation artists like the micromusic.net or 8bp crew (and contemporaries) are still very close to the source and obviously still active and relevant.  Annnd... I guess that's all I have to say about that.

Thanks especially for that. It is supposed to sort by Country, State, District, Artist in that order. Do you know of a way to make the spreadsheet do this automatically when people add new records to the bottom? I can do it manually, but you'd think there would be a button to save those settings that I could just press rather than having to go through the whole menu again.

Probably can do that with their version of macro,  I'll try it out tonigh.

Yep, time to hit that download button.  Very nice package, Andrew.  wink

...with LSDJ/Piggy everything is nicely organized and compartmentalized.

That's how I feel as well.  There vast amount of navigation in piggy is just zoom in/out.  Song screen is the global view, instrument with associated table is the most specific view.  This setup makes the association between pairs of numbers and segments of a piece of music totally obvious which for a total newcomer to tracking can be a very confusing concept.

I'd go Milkytracker, it's portable, fairly coherent to use and if people don't want to do pure chip they can just load a bunch of samples in.  lgpt is the least friendly tool to start anybody off with ever.

Ok, I'll bite.  smile  Is it because of the joypad interface?  Other than the fact that the "reflexes" you build using a joypad to track won't translate to really anything except LSDJ, piggy is the most clearly laid out and approachable tracker I've found.
