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:

P0 Welcome to Odin Tracker
Welcome to Odin Tracker 1.02 for C64
released by Zed on 28 Feb 2000.
Use Up/Down/Left/Right to navigate back
and forth in the pages. Any other key
exits help.
If the editor happens to hang, restart
it with SYS2064 after reset.
P1 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.
P2 Global keys
These keys work in all editor screens.
SPACE start/stop playing
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
Up/Down/Left/Right/Inst/Del usually
work as expected.
RUNSTOP and SHIFT+RUNSTOP work like
TAB and SHIFT+TAB on PC.
Controlling channels
C=+1..3 mute/unmute channel 1,2,3
C=+4 mute/unmute all channels
P3 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.
P4 Instrument editor (cont)
10. Pulse width: 8 MSBs of initial
pulse width.
11. Pulse speed: value added to the
8 LSBs of pulse width every
tick.
12. Pulse limits: high nybble is 4
MSBs of lower limit, low nybble
is 4 MSBs of upper limit.
13-15. Initial filter cutoff frequency,
filter cutoff speed and limits.
All similar to pulse paramters.
Enter zeros to leave filter
unchanged.
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.
P5 Instrument editor (cont)
Remember that:
- instrument 0 cannot be defined.
- you enable the filter with track
effects. See effects F9x, Exx.
- there is only 1 filter in SID, so
do not play more than 1 sound with
non-zero filter parameters.
P6 Instrument editor, keyboard

RUNSTOP next field
SHIFT+RS previous field
RETURN go to wave/arp table
C=+N edit instrument name
./, select instrument
Navigating in tables
INST/DEL as expected
SHIFT+A,Z up/down 16 lines
SHIFT+Q,W,E,R go to position $00,
$40,$80,$C0 in table
Copying instruments
C=+C copy instrument
C=+V paste instrument
P7 Pattern editor (press F5)
Looks like in any other tracker:
note, instrument, effect and effect
parameter for all 3 channels.
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.
P8 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.
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.
P9 Pattern editor, effects (cont)
C Set filter cutoff frequency.
Parameter is 8 MSBs of frequency.
Overrides instrument filter params.
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.
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=$Fx, set hard restart
ticks to x. See tips.

P12 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 in
each wave table element for the
instrument, and enter a note off into
the track when you want to start
decaying the note.
Vibrato depth 8 always makes the
vibrato amplitude 1 semitone.
P13 Pattern editor, tips (cont)
The number of ticks for hard restart
before the new note can be set with
effect FFx for each channel separately.
Use FF0 to effectively disable hard
restart and tie notes together.
Hard restart is always disabled when
slide to note effect is used.
P14 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
CRSR,INST,DEL as expected
SHIFT+A,Z up/down 16 lines
SHIFT+Q,W,E,R go to position $00,
$40,$80,$C0
Enter order numbers using 0-9,A-F or
use */@.
P15 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.
P16 Specials menu (press F6)
Not much to say, really.
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.
P17 Disk menu (press F8)
Quite self-explanatory. Save song
simply dumps memory from $4000 to the
end of the last track used in the song
with no playroutine.
Save song with player is a rotten
temporary hack. Don't bother me.
Init: LDA #$00
JSR $C000
Play: JSR $C003
Read/write tracks make it possible to
remix songs.
Hold down SHIFT to pause directory
listing.
P18
Well, that's it. You figure out the
rest. :)
Suggestions on improvements are
welcome. Just tell me what you want.
If there are requests, I'll code a
packer that will compile the songs into
a format that is faster to process and
includes a playroutine, too.
I'm waiting for more example tunes.
