Hello, I just started with Famitracker and am trying to understand how the noise pitches work (in the tracking window vs. in the instrument window)...

With global speed at 1 I made a nice hihat sound with noise:
A-# 0
A-# 6
E-# 2
B-# 2
B-# 1
B-# 0

Now that I understand that global speed 1 is not very convenient I want to turn this into an "instrument". I set the volume sequence but the pitch sequence I am confused how to do. It's like no logical combination I can think of works.

I could just keep it simple and use 1 pitch, but I want to learn how stuff works (and I want my awesome hihat!)

thanks!

Basically, 0-# = 0 in the instrument pitch macro. So your sequence would look like this:

10 10 14 11 11 11

assuming you played a 0-# in the tracker.

thanks!!!

i get how the noise pitches work now. i played around with the sequence and i learned that the pitch changes are cumulative.

the sequence equivalent to my rows is

10 0 0 4 -3 0 0

as a side note, 10 0 0 1 3 0 0 sounds alot better.

I do noise with the arpeggio macro. (Pitch works??)

Like if you put down a note of 0-# you can just type the sequence you want directly into the arpeggio macro.

Yeah, in the pitch macro it's relative but in the arp macro it's absolute (I didn't know this until just now actually).
