Hmm the only things that doesn't fully work is the colours for the patterns. Only works in Default and Blacklyst skins.

Depends if you're talking about output or input. For outputting midi from Klystrack to whatever else, then yeah a single tracker channel could act as a midi channel, and whatever note/instrument data gets passed on although midi program changes are slow as fuck and nobody in their right mind in this age of DAWs that can control space and time and molecules and quarks and whatnot would make a synth switch patches instead of simply running another synth on the side.

But for input, you're better off with assigning midi channels directly to instruments. Think of each instrument in a tracker as its own little VSTi. If you set your instrument #4 to midi channel 5, then whatever midi data gets sent on channel 5 is picked up by instrument #4. And for channel 10 (drums default) you could assign an instrument per note so you can build a drumkit on a single channel. But for me though, MIDI is the last thing I care about for Klystrack. The software does everything I need it to do "in the box" so I don't care one bit about controlling it with something else, or have it control something external. I'd rather have a live "dj" screen with two songs and loop tools.

My current list of wishes and whatnots:
- Fix song timer. It stops working after a while and stays at zero. I recently had to compose a shit ton of songs of a particular length and this proved to be annoying as all fuck.
- In the FX screen, show which instruments are 'connected' to each particular effect.
- Ability to load/save effect settings in the FX screen. Seriously... the delay/reverb unit is super useful, but the "automatic controls" for it are shit and never, ever result with a tempo-synced delay. It takes for fucking ever to edit a proper synced delay when you have two values to edit per tap.
- Song clean-up tools: Zap all instruments, Zap all pattern data, Zap unused patts, unused instruments, etc.
- More control over the FM parameters directly from the Command column
- Better volume control in the wave editor (normalize and normalize 1/4 isn't enough... we'd be better off with +10% and -10% buttons)
- A command like CTRL-U that inserts a new unused pattern on every channel at the current position
- Same idea, but with CTRL-K. Clone patterns on every channel at the current position
- Copy/pasting of data in the sequence editor is wonky when a block starts with an empty pattern. For example if I copy 4 patterns on channel 0: 01-02-03-04, it will paste: 01-02-03-04. But if I copy [empty]-[empty]-01-02 it will only paste: 01-02.
- Fix the XM/MOD import. For some reason it crashes now. Was ok just a few versions ago.
- Switching between pattern lengths and starting new songs fucks up the pattern length. If you edit a song with a pattern length of 30 for example, then save that, start a new song, put the patt length to 40 and start putting empty patterns in the sequenecer, you'll notice they are created at a length of 30. You can manually re-adjust them but that's a pain in the neck and needs to be done on every pattern, its simpler to just restart the program.

That's about it I think.... otherwise 1276 has been very stable so far and I'm quite happy with it!

Just want to say I've had a great experience working with Ironfist. Top chaps, quick communication, prompt payment. Everything went very smoothly, not a minute wasted. It definitely sets the bar for how developers should approach recruiting musicians here. 10/10 would work with again.

Now all you iPhone owners should throw your loose change at them, make sure they stay in business and hire me for their next game

It's one of the unlockable bonuses. It's been about to be unlocked just now. The only albums not part of the bundle are those that were already given away in previous bundles. Not our choice, it's because Groupees doesn't want to have dupes in their bundles.

I'm not too sure how to respond to that...err... accusatory tone? Groupees is a well established bundle thingamabob, and the way they work is well documented on their website. The Cheapbeats bundle isn't any different from any other bundles they make.

As for transparency...well, I don't want to call you an idiot but maybe you should take a bit of time to think before asking questions with obvious answers. Let's see...

It doesn't say where the other 80% is going towards
- If 20% goes to charity, then the other 80% is going to NOT charity.

Does it go to Groupees?
- Very few companies make a living by not charging for their services.

Do the artists involved get an equal share?
- The way Cheapbeats pays its artists is absolutely none of your business and concerns only label and its artists. Suffice to say that if our artists didn't find our deal fair, they wouldn't be with us. Cheapbeats has been active for about a year now, and in that time the label made a whopping zero dollar off of anyone's back. In fact, it's been costing money.

Why the snarky insulting tone?
- Because I've spent months getting this bundle prepared. I've made sure we gave away extra remixes, and new songs and previously unavailable source files. Months, to prepare a bundle that gives away all our catalog and some extras, for 3$. Three. Measly. Dollars. Only to have someone on this forum, who most likely won't even buy the bundle anyway, put the label's integrity in question by asking for "transparency".

Good call. Fixed it with my magic skills.

Coming soon on Cheapbeats!

Hey, you implemented that thing I asked for last year that you said you would never implement
