![]() The square wave is actually a rectangular wave. Octave shifts done and bass sound changed.īefore you can properly ear the sound, you also have to set the pulse width, also known as duty cycle. Early modifications of the original file. Replace value “21” with “41”, which stands for the squarewave. Now, go on the Wavetable pos entry, put the cursor on the “01” parameter and press enter. To change the bass sound, go to the instrument editor and select the bass. This way, you can work on the original file to modify it, and check your work with the various modified files already provided. You can also open another Goattracker window if you find it convenient. You may load the original song and do these modifications by yourself if you like to (octaves, sounds) and you can use the files with song revisions for double check. The flute has been replaced with a square wave lead sound. You can do some experiments if you like too and adjust the tune to your taste. Press those keys repeatedly in order to shift by one or more octaves. If you want to tune up by one octave, use the keys SHIFT+W instead. Press is again to tune down by one more octave. Just go with the cursor on the track to shift, and press SHIFT + S to tune down all the notes by one octave. To do these octave shifts, there is no need to write all the notes again. Likewise, track 3, the one with the main melody, has been tuned down by two octaves. The original song is on the right, the modified song is on the left.Īs you can see from the above picture, the bass line on track 1 has been tuned down by one octave. Sounds are improved and some musical notes have been changed. As you can see and you may ear, it sounds a lot different from the original version. Extract the files with WinRAR, then you can load them on Goattracker. This is the improved song in its different revisions. To follow this article, you can use these files. It is the one of the previous Goattracker article. To follow this article, please be sure that 2x mode is properly set (2x on the screen and HR/Timer set to 04 for instruments). 2x mode allows to do these changes more quickly than 1x mode. ![]() In order to fine shape a sound, it is useful to quickly change sound parameters while a sound is being played. A 2x song will usually offer better sounds. This is rather different than song speed: a 2x song may be slower than a 1x song for instance. A 2x mode requires more computing power to play a song than 1x mode. The speed mode is how fast sound parameters are fetched. If you load a song and it sounds weird, most of the time the speed mode is set in a wrong way. If you click on the number before the x, or on the x more times, you will be able to decrease/increase the speed mode. Then, you may close and re-open Goattracker, or you may load the 1x song you want to listen. To do that, click on the “2” in the “2x” label, and the 2 will turn into a 1. For instance, the examples that come with Goattracker are 1x songs. And of course, Goattracker will always start in 2x mode.Īt the moment, let’s forget about what a HR/Gate Timer is. This way, from now on the HR/Gate timer will be now automatically set to 04 for all instruments. For that reason, you have to close Goattracker, than start it again. Please notice that the HR/Gate Timer is set to 02. In order to switch Goattracker to 2x mode, you have to click on the “x” in the “1x” label: the 1 will change in 2, like in the picture above. It also makes it possible to refine sounds better than 1x mode. I use 2x mode because it makes it easier to create mixed sounds. The speed mode can be thought as the speed some parameters are changed. The following picture shows where current speed mode can be seen. When you start Goattracker for the first time, it is in 1x mode. When I create Goattracker songs, I use 2x speed mode. ![]() Now we are going to refine that song by improving sounds and by adding more tracks. ![]() On this article Goattracker has been introduced and a very simple song has been created. ![]()
