(If the text here is scrolling too far right, turn on Word Wrap under Format [Windows] and all the text should fit the window!)

Make a new instrument with the 5B chip enabled. (Volume shouldn't matter) Then place a note in the 5B Column.  In the Effects Column, place an H command with one of the regesters below.  Make sure that within the Noise / Mode section of the Instrument Editor, you have it set to any number for a steady sound.  If you turn it off, then it creates a morphing/phasing sound with whatever wave you choose.  

Command List (Normal):
H_8: Saw
H_A: Triangle (With Popping Sound)
H_C: Inverted Saw
H_E: Triangle

Any other regesters will give you a popping sound and no solid tone.

Middle regester (Labeled as _ above) changes the octave. (A-F Are your best options)  If no number in the instrument editor is selected, changing the octave could change the speed of the morphing/phasing sound.

If you turn on the T option, within the Noise / Mode section of the Instrument Editor, it will change the outcome of the sound.

Command List (T Enabled):
H_A: Weird Triangle
H_C: Weird Morphing/Phasing Saw 
H_D: Square With weird Fade-In on lower notes
H_E: Octive Square

Any other regester are repeats of the ones above, but may be inverted or running at a different speed, or are just popping sounds again.

Enabling noise will not change the envolope itself, but will add noise to the waveform.  This goes for both modes.  The number chosen will change the noise pitch.  

I and J Commands can manually change the speed of the waveform too, V changes wave mode (like noise or noise + pitch), and W changes noise pitch. These are used for if you like working with limited instruments and/or like to change things on the fly.

These tricks will also work in j0CC FamiTracker.  Just make sure that within the Noise / Mode section of the Instrument Editor, the E option is enabled.  You should get the same results.

The instrument might be out of tune depending on the tracker chosen, but that could be the soundchips fault.

Have fun!
