I don't think money would motivate me too much, the only way to get more time for my little hobby is if I could make the money I make now at work, so I could quit and work on klystrack full time... but that's just silly and would make it less fun. Because it would be work. Generally, this money offer thing is very flattering but I rather give for free. The only thing I can see happening is some kind of "pay what you want" scheme and mostly to cover expenses like a website if there every is any. Or buying gifts for people who have contributed. That kind of stuff.

Re: POKEY. I have never done anything proper with a real POKEY chip (well I did type "SOUND 0,1,42" or something on my Atari XEGS as a kid)  so I don't know if my version in klystrack feels the same. It's temperamental but does it freak out like the real thing would with real Atari player routines?

So, I sat down and coded a bit today.

If you use keyboard, just do shift-down when you have selected 0..62, then it selects the last row also. This has worked this way since forever so maybe you have some weird case where it simply doesn't do it. Check it out.

Fixed! Lots of distortion now that the oscillators output at full 16-bit range. Old songs will sound weird due to the distortion and also because wavetable is much quieter.

This was fixed a few nightlies ago! Just move left in channel 0 to go to the last channel.

Bonus: multikey keyjamming, i.e. you can play chords by pressing down multiple keys. Also, releasing the key triggers instrument release as well. Maybe still buggy and the wavetable view doesn't support this yet.

BTW, what do you guys think about changing stuff like POKEY tuning etc. since that changes how an older song will sound like? There's tons of stuff I feel is silly to keep backwards compatible and I would just like to fix and go forward. Also, there's the fact other people than me use the software, so I can't just go "I can live with the change". Or, a recent issue I have now under construction is that the wavetable is too loud and I would just like to change the synth so it outputs at the same volume, meaning old tunes will probably distort and the waves will be too quiet. AND I would like not to include even more conditional backwards compatibility in the player routine.

No, it is only possible to sync klystrack from a MIDI device.

MIDI support is very minimal for now and it never worked too well. On top of it, even software MIDI devices started to hang my system so I can't fix it! Not to mention I don't have a good idea how the syncing should be done, now it tries to match the BPM but runs out of sync. Even the MIDI keyboard support is broken.

Guys, I just fixed a bug in the player routine that disabled resonance when the cutoff related commands were used in the pattern (instrument program did not do this) and also if 29xx was used at all - in the program or the pattern. This means while it works correctly now, older songs might sound different.

Yay! These writings are extremely nice in that they might help users as opposed to my shitty docs! BTW, the POKEY sounds (from Atari 8-bit family) are stable if you use KSYNC. It's a very temperamental chip.

Nice work with the keymap. I'll add it to the repo as soon as it is ready.

I need to contact the guy who maintains the Mac build, I don't have any kind of access to an Apple so it's lagging behind a bit.
