4.13 P: Pitch Bend

4.13.1 For Pulse, Wave and Kit Instruments:
Does a pitch change with the given speed. The behavior depends on the instru-
ment’s PITCH setting:
DRUM Logarithmic pitch bend that updates at 360 Hz.
FAST Linear pitch bend that updates at 360 Hz.
TICK Pitch bend that updates every tick.
STEP Immediate pitch change without bend.

Example:
P02 Pitch change up with speed 2.
PFE Pitch change down with speed 2. (FE=-2)

4.15 S: Sweep/Shape
This command has different effects for different instrument types.

4.15.1 Pulse Instruments
Frequency sweep, useful for bass drums and percussion. The first digit sets
time, the second sets pitch increase/decrease. Only works on the first pulse
channel.

4.15.2 Kit Instruments
S changes the loop points. The first digit modulates the offset value; the second
digit modulates the loop length. (1-7=increase, 9-F=decrease.) Used creatively,
this command can be very useful for creating a wide range of percussive and
timbral effects.

4.15.3 Noise Instruments
Alters noise shape (see section 2.6.5). The command is relative, meaning that
the digits are independently added to the active noise shape.

4.16 T: Tempo
Changes the tick rate to match the given beats per minute (BPM) value. The
BPM is accurate only if the active groove has 6 ticks per note step. If the groove
has some other number of ticks per note step, the BPM value should be adjusted
according to the formula lsdj bpm = (desired bpm × ticks per step)/6. T28-TFF
selects 40-255 BPM, T00-T27 selects 256-295 BPM.
Example:
T80 set tempo to 128 BPM
TFF set tempo to 255 BPM
T27 set tempo to 295 BPM

4.3 C: Chord
Runs an arpeggio that extends the base note with the given semitones. The
speed may be slowed down using CMD/RATE in instrument screen.
C37 plays a minor chord: 0, 3, 7, 0, 3, 7, 0, 3, 7, . . .
C47 plays a major chord: 0, 4, 7, 0, 4, 7, 0, 4, 7, . . .
C0C plays 0, 0, C, 0, 0, C, 0, 0, C, . . .
CC0 plays 0, C, 0, C, 0, C, . . .
CCC plays 0, C, C, 0, C, C, 0, C, C, . . .
C00 resets chord
