Hi.
i thinks it is possible:
But it is a major make over, all score print, and score edit functions have to be redesign.
plus some of the sound engine also have do be remake.
one of my friend think i should start form scratch, but i don't like that idea smile)
did you download the new version, with the finish steep function?

i was consider the idea of tricker 2 or more programs, but some time you can run more than one, other time it don't work.
so i think the only way is to add more channels.

i am not sure that i remember where i learn i from, but some of the things i learn from a Danish book about synth, other thinks i found out by my self, some was one of my friend that told me how he wanted the tracker (eg. no pattens score) , but it is so long ago, i think i started around 1985-1986 on the MSX home computer,
my first music program for the Atari was a midi program made i GFA basic. patten based.

but many of the thing that is in my player you can track back to my early trackers, on how i made my bend routine work.
i have never use the internet to finds ways to make my players/editors, i have only use it to find specifications on the hardware.
but i use the internet alot these day to help me program in windows, i forgot the most after 11 years of absent smile

btw. i also got few good idea here smile

Thanks i am glad that you like it, it's always nice when someone wants to use the programs.

i think one of the reason why the good low latency is.

the hole player routine is made in pure Asm,
and the main part that runs 2 million times i sec, and the part that make the sample buffer is highly optimize.
But the 3 timer and the score decoding could use a little optimization to run optimal,
but the CPU is not getting any slower so who cares smile

but i am thinking of making an extended version, that can run my old dos-score, so i will need a least 9 voices, or 18 voices.
with greater volume resolutions, different noise and hardware buzzer in each channels, so i will properly have to go back and optimize the hole deal.

Just spotted my PM...It works great Peter!

That was quick too, thank you!

i use a couple of hours of thinking and realize that the way, i have build my code, did i very easy to implement into my program.
so i was lucky :-)

It still need a little fine tune, i don't play note at score position 0, and also the Keyboard repeat need a tuning.

Thank again for the Idea and the input.

One small request is that when using the up and down cursors to scroll through your score is that it triggers the current line, this would allow a quick 'single step' of your tune, hearing how its forming just by scrolling up and down?

Did it work like you wanted it to?

it is a good idea, I'll try to see if it can be done.
there'll probably take a little time, I have to figure out, how I can get it, to work in my program.

OK thanks Peter, so far its pretty solid. I am still finding my feet, so its hard to say if I am doing things wrong or if its the apps fault(almost definitely me though tongue!).

If you are in any doubt on how to use the program, you just ask :-)

it should be pretty solid right now but i am keeping finding small bugs, and other annoyances.

but sometime it is easy to find bugs then using the program, When I code, I have a tendency to run the program in a way that does not find all the bugs, or maybe the smarts way.

Eg.
in the next version will insert bar, be move from F4 to alt + F4, because you can easily get to press f4, when you stop playback.

Best Regards
Peter

Great stuff, thanks for the new beta Peter!

you are welcome. :-)

Never used a score-based layout on a tracker before... it makes total sense when you start using it though! big_smile

the whole Idea with score-based layout, was that it should be easy and faster to edit.
also that it would be easier to vary your music.

if you find some bugs or have some ideas for improvements Pleas let me know.
and i will see what can be done smile

Thanks bigsofty for the comment, i am glad you like it smile
i am trying to keep the sound as authentic as possibly,
in order, to make it sound, the same on my Atari St, when i make my Atari St player.
