Pattern Panel

You can choose the current panel by symply clicking on the corresponding button. The current panel is the panel which is actually played and displayed. There are 8 pattern slots available
If you switch the pattern-switch button on the pattern will be successively played
You can choose your pattern loop from 1 to 8
Default is 4, so you first have a song composed of a loop of 4 patterns.

Echo Panel

When this panel is active, you can add echo to the selected instrument. This is not a typical echo, it's an arpegiator too. The type of the echo is in fact the arpegiator, 0 is no arpege and you got 4 values.
The length button controls the lentgh of the echo, how many time the sound is repeated. Warning: 1 is a 'long' echo and 8 is a short echo .
The step button is the space between two hits of echoes.

Keys

Some keys work
l is a toggle to the 'loop mode'. You can add a loop point on each instrument track at the step you want. Re-click in the white key to erase the loop point.
p is a toggle for the 'pitch mode'. You can click on the selected note to pitch it of one half tone; You can use the '+' and '-' keys to pitch up and down.
a is a toggle for a special mode..; The pitch for the red notes are determined by a 'pitch mattern' s is the 'save' key... all yours pattern are saved in the java console... But there is still no way to reload your patterns. (for the moment you can just make a copy/paste of the content of the java console and re-use it in a .html file ... for hackers only... or send me a mail with it, and I can generate a demo with your song).

Track panel

First you have to select a track in the pattern (the track must be hilighted in black). Then you can modify somes parameters in the track panel.
You can change the panoramic (0 means that the sound is to the left and 16 means the right). You can change the volume, from 0 to 99. You can change the pitch, half tone by half tone (12 means nothing is changed). You can even modify the sample used for this track
And you can also modify the scale used with the automatic fill or for the red keys.
