This is the same help that you can read in the tracker.
Please note that some C64 characters are not in ASCII.
Here is a quick translation from ASCII to C64 characters
and the key usually used in PC most emulators:

P00 Welcome to Odin Tracker
Welcome to Odin Tracker 1.12 for C64
released by Zed on 20 Mar 2001.
Use Up/Down/Left/Right to navigate back
and forth in this help. Any other key
exits.
If the editor happens to hang, restart
it with SYS2064 after reset.
P01 Song structure
The song is structured in the good old
tracker style. The orderlist found in
the top left corner contains pattern
numbers. Each pattern consist of 3
track numbers and the transpose values
for each of them. You can see these
above the pattern display.
P02 Global keys
These keys work in all editor screens.
SPACE play song/stop playing
SHIFT+SPACE play pattern
F1 show this help
F2 context help (well, sort of)
F3 orderlist editor
F5 pattern editor
F7 instrument editor
F4 config menu
F6 specials menu
F8 disk menu
./, select instrument
-/+ inc/dec order position
RUNSTOP and SHIFT+RUNSTOP work like
TAB and SHIFT+TAB on PC.

C=+4 mute/unmute all voice
P03 Instrument editor (press F7)
Here are the instrument parameters.
(MSB means Most Significant Bit,
LSB means Least Significant Bit.)
0-1. Attack/Decay/Sustain/Release
2. Wave table start: index of first
element in wave table.
3. Wave table end: index of last
element in wave table.
4. Wave table loop: if the player
has reached the end index, it
continues from this index. If
you want no loop, set end=loop.
5-7. Arpeggio table start/end/loop:
All similar to wave table.
8. Vibrato delay: number of ticks
before starting instrument
vibrato.
9. Vibrato depth/speed: high nybble
is depth, low nybble is speed.
Larger number means deeper and
faster vibrato.
P04 Instrument editor (cont)
10. Pulse width: 8 MSBs of initial
pulse width.
11. Pulse speed: value added to the
8 LSBs of pulse width in each
tick.
12. Pulse limits: high nybble is 4
MSBs of lower limit, low nybble
is 4 MSBs of upper limit.
13-15. Filter table start/end/loop:
All similar to wave/arp table.
The wave table bytes are dumped to SID
waveform registers in each tick.
The arpeggio table bytes are added to
the note, so looping $00,$04,$07 should
create a major chord, for example.
Arpeggio bytes >= $80 are absolute note
values, note is set to byte-$80.
Not even track transpose is added.
P05 Instrument editor (cont)
Filters now work quite a bit different
than in version 1.0x. Do this:
Select filter type with track effect
F9x, filter input and resonance with
effect Exx, just as in versions 1.0x.
The filter cutoff frequency's 8 MSBs
will be read from the filter table
using start/end/loop indices specified
in the instrument you select with FEx.
Huh. Damn complicated, but it should be
powerful. You can always override the
filter table's cutoff frequency with
effect Cxx.
Remember that instrument 0 cannot be
defined.

P08 Pattern editor (press F5)
Looks like in any other tracker:
note, instrument, effect and effect
parameter for all 3 voices.
Don't forget that you edit separate
tracks, unlike in MOD. You can see the
track number and transpose value above
the track's data. Transpose $0C is an
octave up, $8C is an octave down.
There are many key combinations to
remember, but some of them should be
familiar from other programs.
P09 Pattern editor, effects
0 Do nothing.
1 If parameter<$80 slide down, else
slide up by parameter-$80.
2 Set pulse width. Parameter is 8 MSBs
if pulse width.
3 Slide to note. Just like in MOD.
4 Vibrato. High nybble is depth, low
is speed. Temporarily overrides
instrument vibrato.
5 Set pulse speed. See instrument
editor.
6 Set pulse limits. See instrument
editor.
7 Set Attack/Decay.
8 Set Sustain/Release.
9 Set waveform. Overrides wave table.
A Arpeggio. Parameters like in MOD,
Overrides arpeggio table.
B Order jump. Just like in MOD.
P10 Pattern editor, effects (cont)
C Set filter cutoff frequency.
Parameter is 8 MSBs of frequency.
Overrides filter table.
D Pattern break. Parameter is hex,
unlike in MOD.
E Filter resonance/input control.
High nybble is resonance, bit 0,1,2
enable filter for voice 1,2,3.
F If parameter<$80, set speed.
Speed 0 stops the player.
If parameter=$8x, set global
volume to x.
If parameter=$9x, set filter mode.
bit 0: low pass, bit 1: band pass,
bit 2: high pass, bit 3: cut off
voice 3's output.
If parameter=$Ax, fine slide down.
If parameter=$Bx, fine slide up.
If parameter=$Cx, note cut.
If parameter=$Ex, select instrument
that controls the filter cutoff
If parameter=$Fx, set hard restart
ticks to x. See tips.

P13 Pattern editor, tips
If there is no instrument in the track,
the parameters you set previously with
track effects will not be re-read from
the instrument.
When entering notes, select instrument
0 to avoid entering an instrument
number at the same time.
The Gate bit in SID is released when
the wave table element has bit 0 clear,
and also when a note off is found in
the track.
To create long sounds, set bit 0 to 1
in each wave table element for the
instrument, and enter a note off into
the track when you want to start
decaying the note.
Add filter effects. Filters are there
to give realism to the sound.
P14 Pattern editor, tips (cont)
The number of ticks for hard restart
before the new note can be set with
effect FFx for each voice separately.
The default value is 2 ticks.
Use FF0 to effectively disable hard
restart and tie notes together.
Hard restart is always disabled when
slide to note effect is used.
Reuse tracks (possibly with track
transpose) whenever possible to save
memory. (Each track costs 192 bytes.)
Use absolute arpeggio for drums so that
they do not get transposed.
WARNING: Effects don't remember their
parameters like they do in MODs. E.g.
entering 300 does not continue sliding
with the previous setting, but stops
sliding. Always enter the parameters!
P15 Orderlist editor (press F3)
You will not use this very often, most
editing can be done from the pattern
editor using =/- for navigating in
orderlist and */@ to change pattern
number.
Moving around
CURSORS,HOME as expected
INST,DEL as expected
SHIFT+A,Z page up/down
=/SHIFT+= page up/down, too
SHIFT+Q,W,E,R go to position $00,
$40,$80,$C0
Enter order numbers using 0-9,A-F or
use */@.
P16 Config menu (press F4)
Set up your favourite colors.
RETURN update srceen
SHIFT+1..4 load default color sets
Press F4 again to restore current
colors.
If you find a particularly nice color
set, send it to me.
P17 Specials menu (press F6)
Clear song clears tracks, patterns and
orderlist but keeps instruments.
You can replace instruments in a set
of tracks or all tracks in a set of
patterns. Remember that instrument 0
means no instrument.
Swapping tracks also operates in a set
of patterns you enter.
Song start positions list the first
orderlist indices for the subsongs.
This works in packed songs only.
Use effect Bxx to loop the songs.
RETURN closes this small editor.
You can escape all input fields using
RUN/STOP.
P18 Disk menu (press F8)
The fileformat has changed in version
1.1x. If a song you just loaded sounds
like garbage, it may be the old format
and needs to be loaded using "Import
1.0x song".
WARNING: the filter settings will not
be imported, and you will NEVER be able
to load the new format into 1.0x!
Save song dumps memory from $4000 to
the end of the last track used in the
song with no playroutine.
Read/write tracks make it possible to
remix songs.
Please read the next page before using
the packer/relocator.
P19 Disk menu, packer
WARNING: You will absolutely _never_ be
able to load packed songs back into the
tracker! Always keep an unpacked copy.
Before starting the packer, put $FF
after the last position used in the
order list and in the song start
positions list to avoid saving
unnecessary data.
Unused tracks are automatically
discarded, but unused intruments are
not remapped. Use a continous block of
instruments to minimize file size.
You can relocate the player to page
boundaries. You can save everything
into a single file, or save the tracks
in a separate file. Useful when you do
not have enough continous memory free.
Don't specify overlapping areas, or
you'll suffer.
P20 Disk menu, packer (cont)
To use your songs:
Init: LDA
JSR $xx00
Play: JSR $xx03
Stop: JSR $xx06
(xx is where you relocated the player.)
The player uses zeropage variables
$FB-$FE and takes around $30
rasterlines. (Yuck.)
I am thinking about a packer that will
create smaller files by actually
packing stuff.
P21
Well, that's it. You figure out the
rest. :)
Suggestions on improvements are
welcome. Just tell me what you want.
The packer may feature bugs, mail me if
something suspicious happens.
I'm still waiting for more tunes.
