DefleMask 9b Released!

NEWS:
New and better SID export for Commodore 64, awesome use of memory and great sync.
Added lot of accurate code to the SID, some of your tunes will need some adjusts.
Effect Added to Commodore 64: 15xx - ADSR Hard Reset Time Set.
Now the effect 1Axx ADSR Reset is ON by default, setting it to 1 will NOT reset the ADSR on next notes on, setting it to 0 will use 15xx to perform the ADSR Hard Reset. Your tunes may need adjusts.
Added color change to the cursor while recording, it will be painted as "Effects Value" color (RED on default theme skin).
Added numbers to the Algorithms of FM instruments.
Improved some points of the GUI.
Shortcuts Alt+Up/Alt+Down acts like Backspace and Insert.
Some bugs fixed.
Manual Updated.
Linux, Mac and Windows builds updated.

Wiii. Looking forward to hear some DefleMask's .sid files running on a C64!

If I put numbers how could you know if "3" is a modulator or a carrier?, and a "2"? You need another external reference.

Please tell me here on every ALG what operators are carriers and modulator, without any external references:

I can call the operators "1", "2", "3", or "Dude", "John", and "Michael" without any problems, but you will never know really who are carriers and modulators.

A "color shade" is what is actually used to represent modulators vs carriers. The numbers are only to describe how are mapped in memory, but that will not define its mode. Yamaha explain the operator's mode in the manuals (using the numbers as a reference), but with the numbers only, it is, again, impossible to define.

Whatever, DefleMask uses the numbers as described here:

I will add numbers or textures with numbers in the next release.

This theme is a masterpiece. And nobody knows why, me neither. I just love it.

PS: If you slow down it to 50% it will become a little more understandable.

And amazingly there are 256 pages of non played songs. This is more strangely beautiful than I thought.

DefleMask 9 for Mac Updated! Shortcuts!

Now "Command key" + "Delete" will act like a normal deletion, Alt+Up/Alt+Down are backspace and insert.
"Command key" now will act like Ctrl also, so all the shortcuts that are refereed to Ctrl now belongs to the Command key (Copy, Paste, Cut, Interpolate, etc)

Regards.

Personal opinion:

A tracker don't have any specials stuff to code, for that reason you will never find a "programming a tracker tutorial" as you find "programming a platform game".
You have to learn how to output sound, how to make a button, how to capture the keyboard and the sum of that could be a tracker if your knowledge was correctly acquired.

Personally I learned how to make all of that stuff in different things that I did in the past (dOb Engine, Brilek, NES programming, Amiga programming, blah, blah, etc, etc, etc), then programming DefleMask was only start to code it.

So, for short I recommend you to start coding simple apps: output a sine wave, create buttons, etc, etc. After that a tracker could pop up at anytime.

Wtf?, you cant make lot of envelopes used by lot of games, examples:
F, | 5, 2, 1 LOOP
F, 1, F, 1, F, 8

That for vol envelopes, but fixed arp envelopes for noise, arpeggios with more than 3 notes, rapid noise mode changing are also examples of popular effects.

If that is not useful in most cases for you then you never get the SN76489 full potential.

Go, try to cover a complex SMS song with VGMMM and come back, the things that the SN76489 is doing as normal in most games is impossinle to be done in VGMMM without using maximun 60hz per tick editing.

I think that you used the PSG as only a company for the YM2612, as in SEGA Sonic soundtracks for example, where it is used in a very simple and secondary way.
