Hi guys; first post here, and pretty new to chiptunes in general. I looked in the wiki, but there doesn't seem to be anything about this option. Here's the deal -
The song I'm currently working on - I tracked it out in 64 row frames at first, and I got through about half the track before realizing that this doesn't give me the granularity of rhythm I need (since I need to note-cut between beats to differentiate notes). Ideally, I'd now like to expand the song out to 128 row frames instead, and then increase the speed with Fxx. This should give me more flexibility to get those 32nd notes in there.
While I could go through and painstakingly insert the extra rows one by one, I thought that by selecting a portion and then right-clicking and choosing "expand pattern" I could maybe save some time. However, when I do this, while it does expand it also removes a large portion of the pattern - even though I've set my frames to have 128 rows now, the "expand" option doesn't seem to fill in these new rows. Instead, it simply expands the pattern within the original 64 rows, truncating what doesn't fit, leaving the last 64 rows empty.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a better procedure for this? Or am I going to have to spend hours inserting rows carefully to expand out this song?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice you can give me.
Yeah, that's an annoying habit of this function. If you expand a selected area, all content outside of said area will be discarded. I'd recommend you select the entire channel (including the 64 empty rows) and then use the "Expand" function.
Hope I could help, good luck!
