What is the the hex next to the instrument in the pattern ed

In the pattern editor from left to right it goes:

Note, instrument, then what in the heck is the hex next to that?

Effects. First char is the effect, and the next 2 are the parameters. In NT2 it's modeled somewhat after MOD format effects.

So like Fxx for speed (F06 is default), 4xx for vibrato, see nt2.txt for the full list.

Yeah, the parameters vary different depending on what effect. Like with Dxx, you'll want none. 1xx has one parameter that uses 2 chars, and 4xx has 2 seperate parameters. With Axx you'll only use one or the other.
