P.S: if you want to see the song file to clarify things I can post that if you want.

are you remembering to  turn it off for the instruments that dont use it

you have to explicitly turn it off when youre done with it

So I have to use command B00 in the effect column when it's not being used...?

Still throwing ideas around and I wanted to add more instruments but everything after the 4th one won't do what they should.

While we're on the topic, does anyone know an easy way of added digis to your goattracker song? Or perhaps a powerful tracker that features both powerful SID control and digi tracking?

Currently I'm using digi-organizer and then using a utility to link it to my goattracker SID/PRG but it's an awkward way to compose and a bit of a hassle working with both a C64 and windows program.

Off the top of my head that's probably still the easiest way tbh.  With the old 1.x GT you could use out of range tempo commands in your tracks as drum notifications.  (eg: 7C1 for bass drum, 7C2 for snare)    Then write a little bit of code to trigger samples when they were detected.   Obviously you still wouldn't hear when it was being written, but you could write your drum patterns in GT at least.   In the later 2.x versions I think it only updates a counter, which is great for syncing demo effects but for music you'd still need an external bit of code to play the pattern.

(Hein & Jammer's earlier stuff for example)

I tried making a few instruments after I made 4 and they don't sound at all like they should. I tested them when I didn't have any instruments and they sounded a lot different then. Think I was doing it right for wavetable pos. I had let's say on 02 FF 00 for the next instrument I set wavetable pos to 03.

If you want to use vibrato or portmanteau you have to put something in the speed table?

xmodmap -e "keysym KP_Insert = Insert"

and it stays permanent I think if you add 

keysym KP_Insert = Insert

into ~/.Xmodmap , if not there's always manual scripts to autorun \o/

The mac tricks to get the insert key didn't work hmm I'm on the latest goattracker version 2.72.
