First time poster, I'm checking out FamiTracker to gain some intuition about how to emulate the 2A03 in a different environment for a class project.

I looked at some Mega Man replica tracks, and the down-sweep triangle wave percussive effect is created by the string "| 15" in the pitch field of the instrument editor.

Is this a shortcut for an advanced hardware effect? What behavior does this shortcut emulate? I tried searching the forums, but the | character isn't exactly searchable...

Thanks in advance.

| is a loop. This means that resulting sequence will be always repeat 15. For pitch, this means that every TV frame pitch will change for 15 from current pitch.

For arpeggio, sequence | 0 4 7 will be always repeat 0 4 7.

For example
3 3 3 | 0 1 2 = 3 3 3 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 ...
| 3 2 1 0 = 3 2 1 0 3 2 1 0 3 2 1 0...

Thanks for your reply, I just figured it out myself in fact.
