i'm learning to use famitracker right now.  i was wondering who else here uses it and if anyone would be willing to help answer questions as they come up.

Here's a step by step guide:

1.) Steal instruments from other FTMs.
2.) Make shitty music.
3.) Submit it under FamiTracker forum.
4.) Get your virgin ass stretched out.
5.) If you are a survivor, make more and repeat the process.

Yeah don't listen to that. Honestly, FamiTracker is pretty easy to get into. I don't know where you are with composition in general, but just keep experimenting with FamiTracker and you'll end up in a pretty enjoyable place.

I personally am no composition master, but I've spent my fair share of time in FamiTracker and know my way around the program quite well. You can PM me anytime if you have questions.

vibrato command? or you might want to change the vibrato style under module properties.

well, the way i'm seeing it is it would be a value like:

P81
P82
P7F
P80

that's the vibrato (or tremelo maybe i don't know the difference) from silver surfer.

but i don't really understand how it works

The NSF import just uses rapid commands instead of instruments. That is the programmer manually changing the pitch very quickly. Famitracker has a built in vibrato command, which you can find on the effects table under help.

PS that is vibrato. Vibrato = pitch, tremelo = volume

P is a detune effect. 80 = normal pitch. unless you're working at a super high speed, that won't help much with vibrato.

4xy is the vibrato command, x is speed and y is depth
