Ahem. Not the smoothest release I've ever done but hey, it's up there now.
Major changes are detailed in the release notes. Most notably, better highlighting of the Pattern grid and NTSC/PAL versions of the ROM.

Sweet.. and my compact card writer just came in the mail!

Neil Baldwin - I'll make a working PAL version of NTRQ someday!

Neil Baldwin - There's now a PAL version of NTRQ.
You're a legend. I mean that in the truest sense. If I ever meet Jason Lee I'm going to be in awe for all the wrong reasons.
pardon the offtopic, but does anybody have a links to tracks written on NTRQ? im really interested in seeing what it can do
There is a compo going on right now. Someplace. I don't quite recall where.
AH, here we go: http://battleofthebits.org/arena/Battle/478/BattleInfo/
Neil, in there any difference between the versions except the frequency table?
Maybe I'm in the wrong, but I'm under the impression that if you fix the frequency table for PAL, the notes do get in tune with the common note tuning, but it gets out of tune relative to tonal noise. If so, the NTSC version might be appropriate even for PAL systems if your music relies on tonal noise...
Anywhere care to confirm?
Only difference currently between PAL and NTSC version of NTRQ is that they use a different table of values to produce note on the three melodic voices (the two square-wave and the triangle-wave ones). Pitches of the noise channel are not and cannot be affected as you do not have the same control over this in the hardware registers.
As a side note, this is one of the reasons I stayed away from describing noise pitches with note names in NTRQ, referring to them just as a numerical value instead.
I've done a new little tutorial to go with the .sav file included in the V1.3 release.
NTRQ can now output NSF files. Just because I love you all
