Funk Repeat and Invert Loop — `EF $x` in ProTracker 1.x

Formal specification, derived by transcription from the ProTracker 1.0C and 1.1B playroutine sources. Nothing here is derived from other articles or inferred from a third-party player; every claim is traceable to a line of 68000 assembly cited inline. Where the sources are silent or damaged, this document says so explicitly.

Audience: someone implementing EF $x — either half of it — in a software mixer.

Funk Repeat, Demystified

Or: how one effect letter held two completely different ideas, and why the one everybody remembers is the boring one

The effect nobody uses

Every MOD effect list has the same shape at the bottom. EC cuts the note, ED delays it, EE delays the pattern, and then there is EF $x, sitting at the end of the table like the last kid picked for football, labelled Invert Loop, and hardly anyone has ever written a tune with it on purpose.

Open a modern tracker and EF $x does this: it walks through your loop one byte at a time and flips each byte upside down. Leave it running and your nice sampled bass turns into a buzzsaw. Leave it running longer and — this is the bit people miss — it comes back, because flipping a byte twice gives you the byte back. It is a slow, destructive, unmusical waveform-mangler, and its own author could not be bothered to pretend otherwise.

	// "Troll Chord" — xenharmonic music in plain 12-TET. 4/4 at ♩ = 120, 92 bars;
	// a row is a sixteenth, four bars to a cue. An out-of-tree experiment, not a
	// demo song.
	//
	// Every chord here is a stretch of the harmonic series high enough to reach
	// the 17th and 19th harmonics, rounded to the nearest semitone and stood on C.
	// Each has a tame lower-limit reading in some other key; on C, in C, they are
	// what they are: harmonics 16, 17 and 19 of C are C, Db and Eb, and nothing
	// lower explains them. Seven chords make the song. The eighth, 16:17:18:19 —
