=========================================================================
NB/

In the past, this spec has been very incurrate due to my sloppy appoach
to documentation. If you notice "things" in here changing from version to 
version, it's probably due to misplaced words and typos that have been 
fixed along the way..

I have done a full proof read of this thing, and i give it my bill of
health (i hope it's ok at least).
=========================================================================


FNK FORMAT/R2 (2nd Revision)
----------------------------

To put Funktracker simply, it's a Zooped up 669 format. Funktracker is a
"dual piped" format that can perform duel command effects on a single
channel. This is a very valuable feature. i still haven't seen any
trackers that can do this, you can create alot of new interesting
effects..  Funktracker is designed for efficiency and speed (or at least
is on the DOS32 version). I designed it for the express purpose of PC +386
Pmode demos. Modules are designed to me physically linked into the actual
program and referenced/played within the demo without any nasty
loading/conversion you have to do with other formats like S3M. It is
designed to cater for a whole range of cards but namely DAC cards (ie
SoundBlaster, PAS16 and AWE32) in mind. Now of course, i have ported it to
Unix platform(s).  Goals have changed. Multiple channel support is now in,
as well, 16 bit sampling and BPM.

Unlike most other formats, Funktracker data is organised in INTEL wording
convention, that is, data is fetched, Least Significant first. This is
very important to know, particularly if you want to port Funktracker to
your particular machine. Motorola 68k machines for instance, use Most 
Significant instruction fetching. 

It's also important to note that sample data (regardless of precision) is
stored as signed data. That is: 

0x7f (crest)
  -
/   \
0 -----------silence
      \   /
        _
0x80 (trough)


16 bit data is also stored in Intel byte sex form (less significant byte 
first).

For module storage, file the extension can be the old MessyDOS ".fnk" 
extension, or the new Unix ".Funk" extension. Either one is acceptable. 



Minor Changes from Revision 1
-----------------------------

   ******************************************************************
   * NB/ the physical format has NOT changed, Only a few commands   *
   * have changed. As there are very few R1 type modules,           *
   * it's not worth supporting the old R1 features.                 *
   ******************************************************************

- The Module header field LZH_check_sum is now called funk_type, and the
first two characters of this field shall contain "F2". Fixxed pann isn't
allowed. Where as the DOS32 Funktracker allowed fixed panning for DAC
composing and variable for the GUS card.

- Frequency adjustment has been ditched. In R1, frequency adjustment was
used to adjust the frequency of a channel as to create a slight echo
effect when playing multiple samples in unis. You could adjust this frequency
adjuster using the 02 command. This feature is now obsolete as I have added
true digital echo/reverb processing ability in R2.

 - Commands a,b,c,o4,o5 (frequency modifiers) have been revised. Porting
under Funktracker Revision 1 was too slow. Amendments make porting much
more faster. I did this by removing the speed parameter, and extending the
rate parameter to a 0 -> 255 range.

 - cmd O0D is now NOT USED. Before it was a rather dangerous command that 
toggled looping of a playing sample.
 - cmd O0E Fine channel pann Left has replaced Snap to log Porting.
 - cmd O0F Fine channel pann right has replaced Snap to Line Porting.

(the cmd 0e x16 pann setter is too crusty to do smooth slides)

 - cmd O2 Note delay has replaced Real Frequency Adjust (obsolete)

as explained

 - cmd O9 Set channel Echo Feedback Gain has replaced Volume Trough (never used)

i have never used volume trough. i find it useless.

 - cmd OB Set channel Echo Delay has replaced Expand Loop (useless cmd)
 - cmd OC Set channel Echo Decay has replaced Collapse Loop (ditto)

these old commands were of little value.


Funktracker Format R1 & R2:
---------------------------

Offset   Bytes   Description
    0        4   Preamble set to "Funk"
    4        4   This double word contains the following packed info:

  'info' code (diagram much for readable than in Funklite.asm ;):


  3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3   2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2   1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1   0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
  \--BPM rate-/ |   \-CPU-/ \-card/   \----year---/ \-month-/ \--day--/
                |                        |
                /                         \
     16 bit = 1                            year + 1980


  - Byte 3 can be broken down as follows:

  /--BPM rate-\
  3 3 3 3 3 3 3 *
  | \---------/
  |     \
  Sine   Value

  If the Sine bit = 0, then BPM = 125 + value
  If the Sine bit = 1, then BPM = 125 - value

  The BPM range is from 062 BPM to 188 BPM


  If an R1 format (funktype = Fk** or Fv**), then ignore byte 3. It's
  unreliable. It used to store the (GUS) sample memory requirement.


  - byte 2 contains statistical info. Possible values are:

cpu:  0 = Unknown      \
      1 = IBM ????      | used by the DOS32 version of Funktracker
      2 = IBM ????      |
      3 = Intel386      |
      4 = Intel486      |
      5 = Pentium      /
      6 = Linux
      7 = FreeBSD
      8 = Not Used
      9 = "
      A = "
      B = "                (NB/ if you can enlighten me on any of the
      C = "                 unix boxes i'm likely to port too, tell me
      D = "                 and i'll give your machine a number)
      E = "
      F = Other

card:
      0 = Sound Blaster 2.0
      1 = Sound Blaster PRO
      2 = Gravis Ultra Sound with pannable channels
      3 = Sound Blaster Compatable
      4 = Sound Blaster 16
      5 = Gravis Ultra Sound with fixed pann channels
      6 = Song Ripped/Converted from another format
      7 = Pro Audio Spectrum (PAS) cards
      8 = Voxware /dev/dsp 8 bit
      9 = Voxware /dev/dsp 16 bit
      A = Unused
      B = "
      C = "
      D = "
      E = "
      F = Other


    8        4   This is the file size. If you load a song that's size 
                 differs from this number, then you know it is corrupt
                 in some way. it would be highly recommended not to play
                 it.

   12        4   This field describes FNK characteristics:

     Format: - "F2**" new R2 FunktrackerGOLD
               "Fk**" for fixed channeling (default) or
               "Fv**" for variable channeling

     - Under DOS32 Funktracker, between versions 1.00 and 1.04, the card
type in the info field determined whether or not channels were pannable
when using the GUS card. Back then, GUS was the only card that could use
this feature, as my DAC routines couldn't. The philosophy back then was to
make the DAC routines as fast as possible. implementing DAC panning would
have made them twice as slow. However, later i realised i would have to
eventually implement it. 

     - With FunktrackerGOLD, it is always "F2**". This indicates the
second revision of the format, with variable channeling mode and the newly
implemented commands.

     - The ** is a dec number ranging from 1 to 99. For example, if the song
is a 32 channel module, then the preamble is "Fk32". 10 Channels is "Fk10".

     - If you see garble in this field, then you know it was created with
the < 1.05 DOS32 editor (these BETA's were never released anyway). You can 
safely assume that this is an 8 channel, fixed channel module, if ever 
you did come across one of these modules. 


    13       1   If this field is set to 0ffh, then the song won't loop 
                 back. That is, when it has finished playing the last 
                 pattern in the order list, it will stop. If the value is 
                 anything other than this (0 - feh), then the tracker 
                 will loop back to order number in this field and 
                 commence playing the patterns at that order number.

    14     256   This is the order_list. pretty much the same as any 
                 other trackers order list (aka sequence list). this 
                 table contains a list of pattern numbers to be played
                 in a given order.

   270     128   The break list is like the 669 break list (this concept 
                 was stolen from the 669 format). A break order is a 
                 value that tells the tracker to stop playing a pattern 
                 when it reaches a given line number in the pattern. When 
                 is reaches it, it will then proceed to the next pattern 
                 in the order list. In the table we have 128 break
                 numbers of each of the 128 possible patterns (all 
                 respectively ordered).


After the header, we then have our 64 sample entries stored. each sample
record/set is 32 bytes. you can calc each one with a simple EAX SHL 5:

x32 398     19   Sample name
x32 402      4   Sample loop start pointer in units
x32 406      4   Sample Length in units (NOT bytes)
x32 407      1   Sample Volume (0 to 255)
x32 408      1   Sample balance 00(right) to 128 to 255(left)
x32 409      1   Port type & Sample offset shifter:

   MS              LS
    7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
    \...../ \...../
     port    sample
     type     offs factor

  - Port type sets the type of frequency sliding. If this nibble is zero, 
    then Curved (Amiga Module style) porting in performed. If this nibble 
    equals 1, then linear (669 style) porting in performed.

  - Sample offset shifter sets the indice value for command M, which
    begins a sample at a particular offset. 


x32 410      1   Vibrato Waveform & Tremolo waveform:

   MS              LS
    7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
   \...../ \...../
    vibrato tremolo
     WF       WF

  - These attributes set the type of waveforms the tracker will use for these
    samples. The Funktracker Vibrato generator (used by Vibrato, Fanin, 
    Fanout and Tremolo) can generate 5 wave types: sine, Triangle, 
    Square, Sawtooth and Random). 


x32 411      1   Retrig number & arpeggio speed:

   MS              LS
    7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
    \...../ \...../
    retrig  arpeggio
     no      speed


  - Retrig Number sets the sample retrig limit used by Command 0D.
  - Arpeggio speed is of course of Arpeggio speed. The smaller the value 
    the faster she goes.


Next is the pattern data. Each pattern block is (64 * x * 3) bytes in 
size- (lr x by 64 slots). Each slot has the following format: 

 00000000 11111111 22222222
 \    /\     /\  / \      /
  note  sample com  command value

 - if note:  = 3D, then reload sample attrs
             = 3F, then it's a null slot
             = 3E, then sample only slot


Basically, it's the same as the 669 format accept you have 3 additional/
different note values: 

XX, Normal slot              "00C#1---"
---------------------------------------

Sample and Note are decyphered. Sample attributed are loaded, and played 
at the note.


3F, then it's a null slot    "     ---"
---------------------------------------

This means null slot. only commands can be used with these slots. no
sample or note processing is performed.... basically a "blank" slot. 
Command systems WON'T be stopped with is slot type (unless command exists).


3E, then sample only slot    "00***---"
---------------------------------------

If the note member is this value, then it's a "sample only" slot. Play the
slot at the last note played (in the chan_info). Decode the sample and
commands and activate them. Command systems WON'T be stopped with this 
slot type (unless there's a cmd in the sample slot).


3D, then reload sample attrs "00RLO---"
---------------------------------------

RLO's allow you to load another samples attributes for an existing sample
that's playing in a channel. When the tracker see's one of these, it will
decode the sample as normal... it will load only the following sample
attributes: volume, balance, Port type & Sample Offset Indice, Vibrato 
waveform and Tremolo Wave Form, Retrig No & Arpeggio Speed.

COMMANDS IN DETAIL
------------------

This Section is devoted to describing the 31 or so Funktracker commands at
your disposal. Funktracker been implemented with a new concept for playing
effects. That is, commands have been split up into groups. These different
groups have the ability to play independently without ceasing or
interfering with each other. 


Command Mechanics

Protracker (and most other Formats), process commands on instance, where
as Funktracker processes them marginally. The method of processing
commands has been inherited from the 669 format. This method allows for
concurrent processing of different types of commands, which is this
format's most powerful feature. This is possible, as these commands are
split into 3 Possible Systems- The Control System, The Note System and the
Volume System. Each of these systems handle commands in their own way and
have their own separate register values. When a system is executing a
command, it won't effect the execution of any other system.

The Control system acts as a front end for both the Note System and Volume
System. It reacts to the patterns as if it was a ProTracker player
(ie instance by instance). If It comes across a command that doesn't belong
to it, it will pass that command over to the appropriate system. The Note
System controls/governs a set of commands that manipulate the frequency of
a channel.  The Volume System controls/governs a set of commands that
manipulate the volume of a channel. The Note System cannot cease, start or
interfere with the Volume System, nor can the Volume System interfere with
the Note System.  Finally, a Control System command cannot cease a Note
System or Volume System command, but can in some cases interfere with these
systems operations (which is in most cases desirable). 



The Commands "A" thru "N" (R2)
------------------------------

Now you are aware of how FunkTracker handles it commands, this section
will describe each of them.



Command A:-"Port frequency" (Note System)

A 00000000
  \ rate /

The Port Up command effect will slide (increase) the frequency of a given
channel. All types of note porting have two types of modes. It can either
port in a straight linear fashioned, or a curved fashioned. The port mode 
is set in the sample attributes of each sample.

For those of you that are experienced, Protracker (and many other
Trackers) implement logarithmic porting. COMPOSD1/UNIS669 (669 format) on
the other hand implements linear porting. FunkTracker has both!. 



Command B:-"Port frequency down" (Note System)

B 00000000
  \ rate /

This command is exactly the same as Command A - Port Up, accept that it
slides the frequency of a channel downwards. 



Command C:-"Port To Note" (Note System)

C 00000000
  \ rate /

This command can only be used in "Full Slots" (if you use it in any other
types of slots, then it will have no effect). It ports the current note
of a given channel to the frequency of the given full slot. This can be a
port up or a port down. It depends on the source frequency of the channel
and the destination frequency of the note. The parameters and mode of
these command are exactly the Same as Command A. 


Command D:- "Vibrato" (Note System)

D 00000000
  \Sp/\Ap/

This Command vibrates the frequency of a given channel. The first nibble
of this command parameter sets the speed in which it vibrates the
frequency. The smaller the value the faster the vibrato. The second nibble
specifies the amplitude of the vibrato. The bigger the value the bigger
the vibrato. It can also vibrate the frequency using other wave
functions. Changing the wavetable involves a command the is referenced
later in this section. You can also set the vibrato wave table form in 
the sample attributes.


Command E:- "Vibrato Fanin" (Note System)

E 00000000
  \Sp/\Ap/

This command is an extension to the Vibrato (Command D) command, and
should be used after this command. it's job is to slow down the vibrato
over a period of time. It will slide the speed from the last set vibrato
speed to the maximum possible speed for Vibrato (that being 0). The
parameter for this command (like the last) is dual. The First nibble
specifies the speed of the slide (the smaller the value the faster it
fanin's), the second nibble specifies the amplitude of the vibrato (the
bigger the value the bigger the vibrato). Note, if you don't use this
command after a vibrato, then a start vibrato speed of Fh is assumed.


Command F:- "Vibrato Fanout" (Note System)

F 00000000
  \Sp/\Ap/

This command has exactly the same characteristics as Command E "Vibrato
Fanin", and is intended to be used with the Command D "Vibrato" command. 
The acception is that it slides the speed of the vibrato up, hence
speeding it up. It will slide the speed from the last set vibrato speed to
the minimum possible speed for Vibrato (that being F). If the last command
isn't a vibrato, then the start speed of the vibrato is "0", which is the
fastest vibrato speed. 


Command G:- "Volume Slide Up" (Volume System)

G 00000000
  \Sp/\Rt/

This command will slide the volume of the channel upwards. It is a dual
parameter command. The First nibble specifies the speed of the slide (the
smaller the faster), the second specifies the rate (the bigger the
slower). The command will stop when the volume FFh has been reached. 


Command H:- "Volume Slide Down"	(Volume System)

H 00000000
  \Sp/\Rt/

Exactly the same as Command G, accept that is slides the volume of a
channel downwards. The command will stop when it reaches zero. 


Command I:- "Volume porta" (Volume System)

I 00000000
  \Sp/\Rt/

This command is exactly the same as the previous two commands. It is only
to be used in Full slots, Sample Only Slots and RLO slots (if you use it
in "Null" slots, then it will have no effect). It will slide the volume
from the current volume to the sample volume specified by the slot. Again,
the parameter of this command is the same as the last two commands. 


(NB/ the DOS32 code that controlled the use of this command has a few bugs 
in it. Therefore DOS32 Funktracker won't process this command properly 
with RLO and Sample only slots.


Command J:- "Decaying Reverb" <or fake reverb> (Volume System)

J 00000000
  \Sp/\Rt/

This format simulates an echo effect. Once activated, it will slide the
volume according to a given rate, over a period of time. The Period will
be set according to the first nibble (speed) of the parameter. When the
time period has expired, the volume will be set to the original volume
minus a funny inverted Speed calculation (see the source if you are
interested on how it does it). This minusing of the pecks, is why it is
called a decaying reverb. The second nibble is the rate in which the
volume slides. 


Command K:- "Tremolo" (Volume System)

K 00000000
  \Sp/\Ap/

This command has exactly the same characteristics as Command D (Vibrato),
accept that his command applies to vibrating the volume.


Command L:- "Arpeggio" (Note System)

L 00000000
  \N1/\N2/

For those of you that are experienced with the Amiga formats, this command
is exactly the same as the ProTracker arpeggio command (although, no code
was ported from Protracker, so it may be a little different). This Command
simulates a chorus effect, by switching the frequency of a channel between
three different notes. The first note is the set note for the channel. The
other two notes are actually specified by the parameter of this command.
The parameter is a dual parameter, and each nibble is dedicated to a note
value. This value is an offset value format the actual note of the channel
(NB/ the actual note of the channel is the note set by the last full
slot). 

Unlike Protracker Arpeggio, this arpeggio can have it's speed varied.
However this isn't specified here. One of the sample attributes is
dedicated to defining the arpeggio speed of the sample.


Command M:- "Override Sample Offset" (Control System)

M 00000000
  \ offs /

When a sample is played, it starts from 0 and ends at whereever. This
command allows you to set the start offset of a sample in a "Full", "RLO"
or "Sample Only" slot (if you use it in "Null" slots, then it will have no
effect). The Parameter is a factor that determines the offset. This factor
is calculated in the following formula to derive the actual offset: 

Offset = Parameter * 2^SAMPLE OFFSET SHIFTER

The SAMPLE OFFSET SHIFTER value is stored as a sample attribute (See sample
Header structure).


Command N:- "Set Volume" (Volume System)

N 00000000
  \ Vol  /

This command sets the volume of a given channel. This command is
controlled by the volume system, and therefore halts any currently running
volume system commands. Volume value can range from 0 to FF (or 0 to 255
in decimal). 


The Command "O"


Command O0:- "Misc Control" (Control System)

O0 0000
   \Cd/

This is a miscellaneous control command that allows you to set the various
modes for the systems as well as one or two other things. 

O00 vibrato sine
O01 vibrato triangle
O02 vibrato square
O03 vibrato sawtooth
O04 vibrato random

The above 5 boolean control settings set the mode of the Vibrato command
and all of it's extensions (See Commands D, E and F)

O05 tremolo sine
O06 Tremolo triangle
O07 Tremolo square
O08 Tremolo sawtooth
O09 Tremolo random

These 5 set the mode of the Tremolo command (Command K). 

O0a halt note system
O0b halt volume system
O0c halt Note and Volume system

Because the Note System and Volume System handle commands in a marginal
fashion, there would be no actual way of halting a command without playing
a new sample. These commands will cease any currently active command that
is running. Command "O0A" will cease only Note system commands, Command
"O0B" ceases any currently active Volume System Commands, and "O0C" 
ceases any currently active command. 

O0d NOT USED

O0e Fine Channel pann left
O0f Fine Channel pann Right

(Volume System) This allows you to perform fine balance slides. Set and
forget. It will stop sliding until the balance reaches either 0 or 255, 
depending on which on you are using.



Command O1:- "Volume Cut" (Volume System)

O1 0000
   \Sp/

This command is like the Protracker Volume Cut. It sets the volume of a
channel to zero after a given period of time. The time period will be
determined by the parameter (the smaller the faster).


Command O2:- "Note Delay" (Control System)

O2 0000
   \Sp/ 

This command is like the Protracker Note delay. It will delay a slot note 
by a period of time. Again, the smaller the value, the faster delay.


Command O3:- "Set Arpeggio Speed" (Control System)

O3 0000
   \Sp/

This command is an override that sets the speed of the arpeggio command
(Command L). Each time a sample is played, the arpeggio speed from the
sample attributes is loaded. This command is for the purpose of changing
it "on the fly" after a sample has been played. 


Command O4:- "Fine Port Up" (Note System)

O4 0000
   \Rt/

This command is a component of Command A "Port Up". It slides the
frequency of a channel upwards. The only difference is that is will only
do to once per slot. In other words, it's instanced to one single slot,
and will increase the frequency according to it's parameter value and then
finish. Like Command A, it also has a Linear mode and Logarithmic mode.
(NB/ Command A uses this function to perform the actual porting by
continually calling this function).


Command O5:- "Fine Port Down" (Note System)

O5 0000
   \Rt/

This command is exactly the same as Command "04" accept that it fine ports
the frequency of a channel downwards. 


Command O6:- "Fine Volume Slide Up" (Volume System)

O6 0000
   \Rt/

This command is a component of Command G "Volume Slide Up". It slides the
volume level of a channel upwards. The only difference is that is will
only do it once per slot. In other words, it's instanced to one single
slot, and will increase the frequency according to it's parameter value
and then finish. (NB/ Command G uses this function to perform the actual
volume sliding by continually calling this function).


Command O7:- "Fine Volume Slide Down" (Volume System)

O7 0000
   \Rt/

This command is exactly the same as Command "06" accept that it fine
slides the volume of a channel downwards. 


Command O8:- "Volume Crest" (Volume System)

O8 0000
   \Sp/

This command simulates the attack/decay/sustain/release volume levels of
a typical synthesised sample. Although primitive, are quite handy to use. 
Starting at the current volume level of a channel, it will begin to slide
it upwards, when it has reached the maximum possible volume level (FF),
it will wait there for a period of time and then begin to slide the volume
back down to the original volume level for that channel. The slide up phase
is always faster than the slide down phase, and the speed of the crest is
determined by the parameter of this command. 
 

Command O9:- "Set channel echo Feedback Gain" (Control System)

O9 0000
   \Gn/

This will cause the DAC digital mixxing routines to mix a component of 
the currently processing sample of a channel to be added to the echoing 
buffer of that channel. The higher the number, the bigger the gain.

Feedback will cause you samples to sound like they are being played in a 
closed room.


Command OA:- "Set Master Volume" (Control System)

OA 0000
   |\R x 4/
   D

Master effects all channel volumes. Its effects the overall output from
the soundcard as to fade the music up or down, and the master volume can
range from 0 to 255.

This command value has two components. (from the diagram above), the R
component (ranging from 0 to 7 x 4) will determine how much to adjust the
current Master volume, the D component will determine whether to add the 
adjustment or deduct it. 1 means add R to the current master volume. 0 
means deduct R against the current master volume.



Command OB:- "Set Channel Echo Delay" (Control System)

OB 0000
   \Dy/

This command sets the echo delay of a channel. The trackers DAC mixxing 
routines save processing sample input into a delay buffer. Retrieved 
(past) samples will be mixxed into the output. The greater this value, 
the larger the echo delay.



Command OC:- "Set Channel Echo Decay" (Control System)

OC 0000
   \Dc/

This command sets the echo decay. Retrieved sample values from the echo 
buffer will be sized according to this value. The larger the value, the 
more louder/intense the echo will be.


Command OD:- "Note Retrig" (Control System)

OD 0000
   \Sp/

This command is for use with percussion type samples. Over a duration of a
slot, it will rapidly keep on replaying the sample, over and over again.
The parameter is the speed in which it does this. The number of times it
will replay the sample is determined by a setting of the sample
attributes.


Command OE:- "Set Channel Balance (x16)" (Control System)

OE 0000
   \Bl/x16

This command sets the panned position of a slot. As the command parameter
is only a nibble, and the actual balance parameter is a byte, the command
multiplies this parameter by 16 to get the actual pan value. Therefore, a
Parameter of "F" is actually "F0", a parameter of "7" is actually "70" and
so on. 


Command OF:- "Set Tempo" (Control System)

This command sets the speed in which the tracker "tracks" (ie the playing
speed). The parameter specifies the speed. The lower the number, the
faster the track speed, the higher the number, the lower the track speed
(NB/ The tracker has a default speed of 4).
