Entering a songname
The songname, in the top screen, can be modified with the [CTRL]-[N] keys. The cursor will appear in the top screen and the name can be entered. With [RETURN] the new name will be used, with [ESC] the operation will be cancelled and the old name is still used.
RAMdisk
The MoonBlaster ramdisk can contain exactly one song and can only be used within the program. The current song will be saved with [CTRL]-[R] or [INS]. The question will appear if you want to read from or write to the RAMdisk. It is also possible to swap the current song with the song on the RAMdisk. This enables you to edit two songs at the same time. The [S] will save the song, the [L] will load the song and the [W] swaps the two songs. With the [ESC] key you can cancel the operation. Note that the RAMdisk only works with a memory mapper of 256K!
Start settings of Stereo and Detune
The start settings are the settings that have effect at the start of the song. The stereo and detune settings can be set per channel. Use the [F9] and [F8] keys to set the stereo settings. The detune menu is used with the [F10] function key. You can set the desired detune per channel with [CTRL] and cursors left/right here.
Songinfo
With [CTRL]�[I] an info screen will appear. This screen shows a lot of information about the current song like the start settings, the wavekit, etc. When you press the space bar a settings scan will take place and the settings that are valid on that place in the song will be shown.
Set-up menu
In the set-up menu several settings can be changed as the user prefers them. They can be saved on disk. The settings will not be explained here, but they will be known after you read this complete manual. They will be saved on disk in the file MBWAVE.CFG.
Tempo
With [CTRL]-[T] the start tempo can be set. The tempo is between 1 (slow) and 22 (fast). In the table below the ‘number of crotchets per minute’ is assumed that you use a pattern per bar. A crotchet is then four steps.
The following values only show the values for a base freqency of 8 and 48 ,resp. 50 and 60 Hz. Other values can be calculated with a formula described in chapter 3.7 Base frequency.
