Round 48 - Discussion & Help

[organic io]

I am trying a chip style tune to sort of warm-up for the upcoming chip compo... However, I have encountered a problem. In order to get my arps to sound less noisy and more musical, I slowed the song tempo down (P.S., I am using Impulse Tracker again this round) ... But now, when I am trying to do note slides, they sound all choppy because of the low tempo. I guess it is a trade off that can't be avoided. I tried changing the tick resolution but it doesn't do any good, just changes how fast the pattern scrolls.

I may just have to render the arp chords out and then raise the tempo back up ....

Not sure yet, unless anybody has an alternate idea. Thanks

try slowing down the note slides (0508 instead of 0510 for example), or maybe try messing with lines per beat.

Tried both already... I actually wanted slower note slides (around G20 (hex) (G is portamento to note in impulse) ... However, you can actually hear the stepping in anything lower than around GC5 (too fast already). When I said tick resolution, I was referring to lines per beat.

This probably wouldn't happen in Renoise... But Impulse tracker during lunch on the laptop is all I have time for right now

oops i didn't see you were using IT... no idea about that. i wonder if schism tracker has the same behavior though?

Also forgot to mention that I even tried changing the slides to "Amiga" mode instead of "Linear".... It didn't help, all it did was make the relative values lower, but you could still hear the stepping.

I'll probably just render the arp chords and mention why in the song notes
