OK, I have fixed most of those issues and added a share feature (i.e. get a link to your tune for posting on Twitter or whatever).

CTRL+S and just start typing the name and hit return. Or, F7 and when you come back on the page it will continue from the same state.
In the editor, ESC until e.g. the macro name field is lit and press return to start entering text.
CTRL+N is the only shortcut I didn't check, makes sense they made it impossible to override. I will add an alternative way to access that!

Topic: Prototracker (59 replies, posted in Software & Plug-ins)
Made a new tracker. Works in browsers (desktop builds coming).
Try online: http://kometbomb.net/prototracker/
Source code: https://github.com/kometbomb/prototracker
The goal:
* cut all the fat from the "tracker" and see what is the minimal possible "tracker"
* no instruments, macros instead. instrument "settings" are set from the macro instead of instrument parameters
* the "synth" is just a wavetable with 256 predefined one-cycle waveforms with various timbres
* there are no more than 4 channels, that was enough in 1991 and should be enough in 2016
* the simplicity and limitations will give extra inspiration and unexpected results
There is a longer manifesto but it's a bit weird.
Some tips:
* key shortcuts are very close to Protracker: right side modifiers play the song, F3/F4 copy and paste track, enter/backspace to play current row etc.
* explore the waveforms, there are 256 of them so at least one should sound nice
* very fast play rate (150+ Hz) helps if you have to do stuff on two separate rows in the macro
* you can put effects in the note column by holding down shift
* if you can't fit everything on one row (trigger note, set volume, set macro) try to set some params before triggering the note
* there is no vibrato, instead create a macro for that and use 1xx and 2xx
You can also easily share the tunes:

That's exactly where I stole it from. I haven't played with CT so I don't know if it's exactly the same, in klystrack it just splits the oscillator and doesn't actually create "virtual channels". All the split oscs go through the same filter and the vibrato is in sync and so on.

Yeah sorry for not being too active with development. I've been busy with, well, life and my game (that has n00bstar's awesome klystrack music in it). I did add this one feature lately, though! (See the last example in the video.)
I promise there will be a larger crunch when we near Christmas (see the guilt cycle post somewhere in this thread).

Very nice! Did you have to change much? How did you fix the problem with the transparency?

Re: USB Floppy Disk Drivers? (32 replies, posted in Atari)
I wanted to image some old Atari floppies and I didn't want to blindly buy a USB drive that might work so I got a KryoFlux (which was quite expensive compared to a USB drive, around 100 euros) and a 1.44 M floppy drive from a recycling center (which was practically free). Worked perfectly. As a bonus you can also connect a 5,25" drive for your C64 needs. Of course, if you only need to write DD floppies, this is overkill.

I swear I did nothing! Now I can't touch the code, ever. Too bad.
(Going to start working on the current bugs and finishing 1.7 when my vacation starts in a week.)

Nobody clearly wants to be the first to say "thumbs up" or "well done".
Well done. Thumbs up.

Though, not necessarily correct under the term of heteronormativity, we are assuming the combination of short shorts and tits, regardless of gender, is universally appealing.
Edit: btw posted a (non-queertheory) question at the FB page

Tits in short shorts? Am I wrong?

How heteronormative.
Btw, tried to spread the word and also give praise on the FB page. This really made my day, thanks!

I should add that this updated includes an improvement in the keymaps that allows you to specify keys by scancode, which should help a lot with weird laptop keyboards. The wiki page for keymaps has a tool you can use to check the scancodes.

Here you go: https://github.com/kometbomb/klystrack/ … /tag/1.6.1
UI
FIXED: Wavegen length value could be wider than the parameter field
FIXED: Sequence view caught mouse events outside its visible area
FIXED: Mouse button was sometimes stuck after switching out from klystrack window
FIXED: Instrument name field didn't use all available space in the full screen pattern view
FIXED: Shift-clicking buzz semitone parameter now increases by octave rather than 16 semitones
FIXED: Scrollbar was visible next to Catometer
FIXED: Status bar descriptions for wavetable view were missing
ENHANCEMENT: Keymaps can now translate scancodes, this means all keys are now accessible even if there is no K_* defined for the keyThemes
FIXED: Font colors are now set even if the theme doesn't include the font file
FIXED: Invisible text in the Ultimate Proctamed theme
FIXED: Removed warnings about missing files in themes
ENHANCEMENT: Theme colors.txt definitions can now refer to previously defined colorsMisc
FIXED: After importing a song, the number of channels was not updated internally so some channels might have been silent
FIXED: .ORG import didn't work because of incorrectly read song header
