Original ProTracker player question

[SenseiTG]

Hello.
 
I have a question regarding effect memory implementation in the original ProTracker.
 
Seems most modern players have an effect parameter memory for some of the effects, such as slides. If you run the effects 208, 200 and 200 across three cells it is often implied that one means slide by 8 for each of the three rows which does make sense since the 200 would do nothing otherwise.
 
BUT, I've read through every bit of format description I could find and nowhere does it say anything about this, leading me to think it was a later addition.
 
Any oldschool trackers here that could shed some light on this issue?
 
Best regards,
stg

According to "MOD player tutorial by FireLigth" ProTracker has memory for effects, just not for all of them. It seems that only effects 3xx, 4xx and 7xx have the parameter memory.

That's one piece of documentation I had NOT found.
ALOT of interesting information in there.
Very much obliged!

Read through it all and did manage to extract a few new pieces of knowledge that will definetely help me improve on those minor details that may cause hard-to-find problems with a small number of modules.
 
However, I was referring to a more "generic" effect memory that is implemented in alot of players. The 3xx, 4xx, 7xx ones mentioned in this document are all implied by the documentations I had previously found since they simply can't be implemented without some form of memory.
 
The "generic" memory I was inquiring about seems to be implemented for 1xx, 2xx, E1x, E2x, 5xx, 6xx and Axx. Basically all commands that have no effect at all when used with a 0/00 parameter value.
