Etymology
From retrigger.
Meanings
-
(qualifier:tracker music, transitive) To retrigger (a note, or a sample within it).
This command will retrig the same note before playing the next. Where to retrig depends on the speed of the song. If you retrig with 1 in speed 6 that note will be trigged 6 times in one note slot.
1992, Ian Tweedie, “OK here it is!! Mod-File-Format!”, in comp.sys.ibm.pc.soundcard (Usenet):However, if you need to use different notes, just use 2 channels and delay the 2nd note instead of retrigging it.
1996, Andrew Carlson, “MOD composition question”, in comp.sys.ibm.pc.demos (Usenet):The clicking during the piano part is specially horrid... It sounds a bit like this: Click! Click-click-click! Whrrrrrr... Click! Click-click-click! Whrrrrrr... etc. (The Whrrrrrr bit sounds a bit like a sample being retrigged at a very high rate (a dozen times per second)).
1993, Justin William Brown, “Nausicaa MID... the clicking :(”, in comp.sys.ibm.pc.soundcard (Usenet):
