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

The playback speed can be changed with <F9>,<F10>. 4.2

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.4.3 All Numbers are shown in hex.
tempo

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

amp
This option lets you adjust an amplification. You can adjust this value with <CTRL>+<F2>, <CTRL>+<F3>.4.4

Footnotes

... entry.4.1
Some special file types modify the appearance of the general field, but only static data is affected.
...<F10>. 4.2
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.4.3
Not all orders have to be played, as modules can jump between different orders.
...<F3>.4.4
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.
