Fatass Tracker Wishlist

Here are a few ideas, together with comments.
Mostly usability improvements, not magical features

general:

    -song loop position not working
        it's in but doesn't work

    -ability to mute/solo channels
        can't believe you can't do this. perhaps I just couldn't find it?

    -song should keep playing when you enter effect editor
        so you can hear what you're doing while you're doing it

pattern editor:

    -b+left/right - move 8 (or 11) steps up/down
        so you can get to the desired step quickly

    -a+b+up/down - prev/next pattern
        so you don't have to jump to the sequence editor and scroll through it

main menu:

    left/right - prev/next screen (jump 11 rows)
        practically jumps to the next/prev page of the menu, since it's a big menu

Also, the noise channel seems to be kinda crap. Not sure what can be done about that

make it easier to delete notes, instead of having to go all the way down past C-3?

make it so it remembers what the last note you put in was, so you don't have to go all the way up to whatever your putting in?

the ability to preview notes like in LSDJ without having to play the track.

You can already change the colors, so what you want is a new default color scheme?  That's not really on my list of priorities.  Also, out of respect to the original programmer I'm not likely to change the name drastically.  I've been toying with calling it "Fat Tracker 2", but we'll see.

So far I'm interested in the important usability features.  Mainly everything iLKke mentioned, to make it easier to place notes and hear the changes you are making.  I hope to implement a "keyjazz" feature (allowing you to hear the notes as they are placed, but I'll have to see how his playback routine would jive with that.  For now, to avoid biting off more than I can chew, I'm going for the simple stuff (which also seems to be the most important).

On a side note, why the hell would I name it PAPUTracker? What does that mean?
