- Expand
-
- Expand is a little program to use with the oktalyzer eight channel music
- program. When you were making a piece of music using 5 channels, and wanted
- to add another melody or drumtrack, and all of your 5 channels were used up
- then you just had to leave something out. But now there's expand, just
- save your song, type Expand <song> <newsong>, with the number of the
- channels you want to expand, and you can continue, with more channels
- available.
-
- The option S can be used to double speed in a song. Conditions for
- doubling are:
-
- 1. Speed is now an even number
- 2. All patterns have length < 64 (the patterns will be twice as
- long after speed doubling).
-
- The use of speed doubling is in drum-tracks, when you started with a
- slow speed and want to add some fast percusion.

- Convert
-
- Convert can be used to convert soundtracker (32 channel versions!!!!)
- modules to oktalyzer modules. I couldn't figure out how eight-channel
- sounds were stored in oktalyzer, so when you convert the module, you
- have to set the playmode right for all the samples (playmode will be
- 4-channel for all of the converted samples).
-
-
- These programs haven't been tested extensively, so there's a chance
- they aren't totally correct (or should I say, it's for sure).
-
- Hope you enjoy,
