EnglishWhere to Find the List of WaveTracker Effects
Updated
The complete list of WaveTracker effects, with an explanation of what each one does, is in the official documentation. The FAQ on wavetracker.org answers "Is there a list of all the effects somewhere?" with "Yes! See the effects list for a list of all the effects and what they do." So the effects list is a documentation page rather than something built into the site's main navigation.
What the effects list covers
According to the site, the effects list documents all the effects and what they do. Effects are the commands you place in a channel to change how a note sounds or behaves — for example, the FAQ mentions the Vxx effect, which tells a channel which wave from the wave bank to use. That is the same category of command you would look up in the effects list when you want to know the syntax and behavior of any other effect.
How to get there
- Go to wavetracker.org.
- Open the official documentation (the site links to it from the features section and from the FAQ).
- Find the effects list page within that documentation.
The site does not publish the effects list as a standalone page in its main headings (Features, FAQ, About), so the documentation is the reliable route. If you land on the FAQ first, the effects question is the fastest jump-off point.
Related documentation worth reading at the same time
The FAQ points to two other documentation pages that pair naturally with the effects list:
- Wave bank documentation — explains how the
Vxxeffect selects a wave, and how a wave instrument's "Wave Envelope" can automate a sequence of waves over time. - Wave bank documentation (instrument assignment) — covers how to make an instrument always use a specific wave or sequence of waves via a Wave envelope.

WaveTracker is free and open source, Windows-only for now, with Linux and macOS releases in progress. It does not emulate hardware chips — it uses its own internal audio engine and samples — so the effects list describes WaveTracker's own command set rather than a specific chip's.
