General

OPENCP displays general (status) information in the first 4 rows. Some of these entries can be changed by the user, others are static for each module. The following list will explain every entry.^5.1

vol

The bar display the current playback volume. The default value is 100 will change the volume by one dot each time you press a key. The keys <+> and <-> on the numerik keypad will change the volume smoother.

srnd

Toggle this option with <F4> to enable a simple surround effect.

pan

If a voice should be played on the right speaker you can rearrange the stereo panning with this entry and <F5>,<F6>. To get mono sound adjust the two riders to the middle.

bal

Just like the device on your stereo this option works. Press <F7>,<F8> to adjust the stereo balance between full left and full right.

spd

The playback speed can be changed with <F9>,<F10>. ^5.2

ptch

The pitch of the file can be altered with <F11>,<F12>

row

Most files of the module type are divided into rows and patterns. The first number shows the currently played row. The second number shows the total number of rows in the current pattern. All numbers are shown in hexadecimal format.

ord

Modules are divided into several orders consisting of patterns. The first number shows the currently played order. The second number shows the total number of orders.^5.3 All Numbers are shown in hex.

tempo

the current tempo of the file.

bpm

These are not the physical beats per minute, but rather the speed at which the file is played (only valid for module types). This option is often refered by Trackers as BPM.

gvol

Some file formats allow a global volume to be set.

amp

This option lets you adjust an amplification. You can adjust this value with <CTRL>+<F2>, <CTRL>+<F3>.^5.4

filter

You can select different types of interpolation by pressing <backspace>:

off

no interpolation

AOI

OPENCP tries to determine if interpolation is really neccessary for each note and sample indepentantly. This is the default option and should be enabled.

FOI

every sample is always interpolated. This option uses more processor power as AOI.

module

shows the filename currently played and the title of the file

time

time since starting the current file

Footnotes

... entry.^5.1

Some special file types modify the appearance of the general field, but only static data is affected.

...<F10>. ^5.2

By default the speed and pitch options are linked (indicated by a small $\leftrightarrow$). To disable linkage press <CTRL>+<F12>. Note that this will not work with all supported file types.

... orders.^5.3

Not all orders have to be played, as modules can jump between different orders.

...<F3>.^5.4

This is not the same as Volume and <F2>, <F3>, because you are able to make the complete file louder than 100% with this option. Note that setting to values above 100% might harm sound quality.
