### How to make one track swing while the others play regularly?

Post by PleasePleasePepper » Mon Nov 23, 2015 3:58 pm

Hi, there. I'm new to these forums and pretty new to Famitracker. For one of my first projects, I'm trying to do a cover of the overworld theme from Super Mario World. In this song, there is a ukulele part that swings on the 16th notes, while the rest of the tracks have straight 16th notes. I've already figured out how to make the whole song do 16th note swings, by using the F command to slow down and speed up the tempo, but I want to know how to just make that one pulse wave track swing, and have the rest of the tracks not. This will be especially important when I add the Yoshi tenor drum part in the DPCM track. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

The Gxx effect will delay the note and the effects in the same row by x ticks (engine cycles). I'm sure you can figure out the rest.
Hi! I'm not really active here anymore but I still make music. Nowadays I mostly make dubstep with emphasis on good melodies and chord progressions.

Hey there's one more thing I'm trying to figure out for this song. How do I make it so that when the song loops it skips the first frame(The intro), like in Mario 3?

Use the Bxx effect on the last row of your last frame; replace 'xx' with the frame to loop back to (01 in this case).
Check the effect list at Help menu>Effect Table for a full list of effects.

Using the "Dxx" command allows you to skip a frame to the next one directly, and you can define the row you want it to jump to (but, usually it's just "D00". And, in the last beat, where you want to loop, add a Bxx, to jump directly to the desired frame number (For Example, "B01", meaning that the very first frame, "00", it's the intro.) Here's an example of it. And also,remember the that a wiki exists! There is a ton of helpful articles there!
