Need help with "addmusic" or porting?

Yep.


Regarding that, does anyone know what it means when, for example, it says D - - 30 instead of A 7 3 0A or something similar?

I should get a new layout.

Probably won't, though.
How to make channels sounds higher?

Do you mean "How do you raise the octave"? You raise it with > or by setting the octave with oX, where X is the new octave.
No. I want to use o7,8,9. Omegazero says i can do it.
It's impossible for us to use octaves greater than o6.
Addmusic won't be able to compile the song properly, and the program will leave a message 'Music interval is too high!' or something.

its limited to 6, you may be able to fine tune it to sound higher but im not sure. if anything, you may need to drop the song an octave,

Also how to insert long samples like vocals or the water sample from YI title screen?
I need to know, what is the $E8 command? I've seen it used in a song that I need to fix for someone.

To rip direct ADSR, use SPC700 Player.

Volume sliding. $E8 $XX $YY

XX = Speed of volume slide (In hex, higher is slower)

YY = Volume to slide to (In hex)
Oh, thanks. Does it have any limits on it too?

i said you might be able to tune it to sound higher, i didnt say you could just throw in o7 or up and expect it to work,

an example of raising the pitch would be like in addmusic4, you could try

tuning[X]=YY with X being the instrument number 0-29 and YY being the ammount to tune it by, - is up and + is down. but it might still end up being invalid, go ahead and try it if thats the addmusic you use.

if its M, then pop hX with X being a number to tune up or down by same as above but this is all there is to it.
Can you make an example?

Well you can't forget to $E8 $00 $00 whenever you want to turn it off, otherwise the volume will keep sliding down/up, even after setting a v volume.

And if you haven't figured it out yet, the game automatically finds out whether it's supposed to slide down/up from the volume it's currently at.

One last limitation I can think of is that you can't go any longer than $FF for a slow slide. Anything longer than that will have to be done manually (Like the opening volume slide in Terra's Theme from FF6. That's a really long volume slide).

Also note that during the slide using any vXXX commands will reset it. I don't think it stops it, it just brings the volume up/down to the point you specify and then keeps sliding. Essentially, once you start a slide, you can't manually control the volume until the slide stops without side effects.

Okay, Thanks :D
How do you use that Nspc patch, I get confused everytime I try so I usually just avoid songs that use it. I either need to learn to use it or continue wishing that some of the songs I want such as the DKC songs don't need the nspc patches anymore.
First, you need to download Addmusic 4.05 which contains MORE.bin (N-SPC Patch). When you open cmd.exe type in

Code
addmusic.exe romname.smc -se


that will patch your ROM. You then want to insert the music.

Code
addmusic.exe romname.smc

I think a post layout goes here somewhere...

Also, don't forget to copy cmd.exe into the Addmusic 4.05 folder and run it from there before doing what Slash_Man stated.
How to insert long samples like voice?
Well, long samples tend to have large sizes which they occupy too much available space.
You just insert them like you normally do with other samples.
If you can't insert them, then you probably ran out of free space.
You should use the Optimize.bnk. What that bank file does is it increases the amount of free space (available space), thus it allows us to insert more samples without having to delete a few of the existing samples. (Well, sometimes we have to delete a few of them even using the optimize.bnk).
Judging by the name alone, that seems to be the older version of optimize.bnk. Someone (757 or homing, iirc) posted an updated one earlier in this thread under the name smw_opt-bnk.bnk. If that's actually the one you linked, then feel free to disregard this - I'm going off of the name alone.

..and on that note, this needs to be edited into the first post. Badly.
