Only difference currently between PAL and NTSC version of NTRQ is that they use a different table of values to produce note on the three melodic voices (the two square-wave and the triangle-wave ones). Pitches of the noise channel are not and cannot be affected as you do not have the same control over this in the hardware registers.

As a side note, this is one of the reasons I stayed away from describing noise pitches with note names in NTRQ, referring to them just as a numerical value instead.

I would not hold your breath for me implementing some way of transferring the data off one of these carts. That's something I have no experience with at all. Unless someone has done this before and has code that I can look at/use.

I was originally looking into having NTRQ detect what system (PAL/NTSC) you're running on and adjust things automatically.

However, this proved to be more trouble than it was worth so I'll eventually start releasing a PAL and an NTSC version. I'm probably only going to fix the pitch though. There's a trick to fixing the timing differences in code but so far I've found it unsatisfactory (especially if you're using multiple Speed Table entries to fine tweak your song speed).

To throw more water on the fire: there is no PAL version of NTRQ at the moment.

Just sayin'....

Yes, it's because Nijuu was developed 20 years after I first started creating audio on the NES.

Actually I've just been playing around with the transpose and something was definitely amiss. It will be better in the next release (which should be quite soon actually as I've fixed a few things).

Depends on what you mean by "track". If you mean an entire song then there's no one single number that will do that. You can however transpose individual patterns in the Song Arranger. As beverage said, put your cursor on the pattern (in Song Arranger), hold B and the display will "flip" to show all the transpose values for each pattern in your song. You can then use U/D/L/R to modify the value. By default, 0 transpose is represented by "40". "41" is transposed by 1 semitone, "3F" is transposed by -1 semitone.
