sorry, i thought that was from someone trying to learn trackers and not the main dude in this thread building trackers haha.
it should be useful to SOMEONE though.

Thanks for the input.

i have two byte in my Fx so you can you sign numbers so $fd is -3 $f8 is -8 and so on, but it always start with a zero, so you only have 2 step. (0: byte0, byte1) a 0,3,7 would look something like this 50307 or one with sign would look something like (0,5,-3) 505fd.

but if i drop the sign nummer then i can have a 5 steep Arpeggio list instead of, i don't know what will be best.

the Score Arpeggio in the player overwrite the Instrument arpeggio list, but you have to set up the Instrument arpeggio in oder to make the score arpeggio work.

Pattern editor blinks constantly, like it redraws all the time - very unpleasant for eyes
Interface is a bit screwed, pattern cursor is misplaced - probably because the program does not count DPI settings in Windows (125% here)
No reaction on keyboard presses, just shows key code in the window header
No sound in editor mode when Play is active (timer counts time), sound is present only in player mode.

where was the courser, right now it does not work probably, if the courser is in the instrument of FX place. it should be turn total off in those place, but right no sometime there is sound.

Btw did you remember to load some sounds or a sound bank.
if you load a score, then you also have to load a sound bank.
the first time you have to load it manual, afterward it will remember the path, and ask if it shall load a sound bank with same name.

Hi Shiru.

-Interface is a bit screwed, pattern cursor is misplaced - probably because the program does not count DPI -settings in Windows (125% here)

I find it difficult to recreate the same results as you, If I set dpi to 120 or make the text size large, cursor is still sitting in the right place, but some graphics is gone at the bottom. if it not the same that happening to you, could you pleas uploaded a picture so i can se the problem.

-No reaction on keyboard presses, just shows key code in the window header

after i have talk to some of my betas tester none of us had experienced it, so right now i have come to this conclusion, maybe there was no sound loaded, the courser was in the wrong place, or maybe you have two sound card and it have chosen the wrong one. could i get you to start the program and press f9 and load a sound, and try again. I would appreciate it very much.

Best Regards
Peter.

First time I have loaded score but no instruments - no sound. Now I loaded an instrument too, there is sound in the editor.

With loaded instrument there are sounds when I press keys on the keyboard. No matter if an instrument is loaded or not, I can't enter anything in the pattern editor, only cursor and navigation keys works.

Thanks for the pictures.
it is looking worse then i have expected, is more or less the whole interface that have to be remake, i don't think it is right now that i will do that.
maybe later on i could change the Gfx interface to some bitmap Gfx.

i think you have Score edit off, use backspace or the button in the score edit panel.

Thanks again.

Best Regards.

Don't you think using Backspace for Edit mode is very counter-intuitive? It is on Space key in most of existing trackers.

I guess it depends on what you are used to, all the tracker, I made and those my friend did, was it always backspace.
in my tracker you have note release on space bar. i think that more logic.
I have try to center all the edit key around the arrow, and the keys about, so then you get use to them, it should be very fast to edit a score.
but again it is what you is use to.
