As I stated above, it indeed feels a lot like SidWizard and also Protracker (minus the nasty panning). The several UI conventions are especially a reason I like Klystrack and Prototracker. They're doing their job and doing it good. Without the fancy "please take my hand"-features.
I'm looking forward to see a touch screen gui coming to life, as I can't think of a way to sustain a time efficient workflow with it. At least I've never seen a good one.
bod: Does the audio skip on your CHIP? You can see the console for alsa error messages (pcm buffer underrun etc.)
Exactly. Buffer underrun occurs.
ALSA lib pcm.c:7843:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurredAnd my two cents:
* Would be great to be able to play notes from the macro field, so you can tweak and then play
Just type some stuff in and let it play. Then it's just a keypress away from listening and you already know what the sound of the line instead of just a single note will be.
* shortcuts for jumping directly to specific panels - eg jump to macro panel then back to not panel - would be useful
I'm with you there. It would be nice to have. Not a must for me personal though.
* it's really painful to edit using a mac keyboard unfortunately due to things like backspace but no delete key... Wondering what the best way to solve this would be.. a separate set of shortcuts you can switch to?
I just had a quick look and only proceeding my second coffe, but from what I see, all the bindings are in MainEditor.cpp. So just editing and recompiling should solve it. But don't take this as a full advice, as I'm _not_ a coder.
* Some indication of the waveform would be super useful
Like a graphical represantation of the stuff you're writing? Dunno if this is really a good idea as this helps you understand how the process actually works. If you've made your first 10-20 instruments in goattracker or something you'll get to know what the numbers mean and understand them. So it's more of a benefit, than just blindly rely on some graphics, imho.
It feels like a lot like SidWizard at the moment. And I love SidWizard. So no complaints from my side. 
It has a touch screen. But most of the time I just use one of those keyboard and mouse sets with an usb dongle. The built in keyboard is ok if you're on the road and don't have to type much. Writing a whole scene or game on pico-8 quickly becomes hell though.
Compiled like a charm. Thank you so much!
Afaik there is no international standard for this, but on the briht side: It's a good opportunity to score some points wih your users. As for reimplementation: at least you can save your code chunks and don't have to write everything from scratch again.
Most VSTs I use go with the approach, that has been proven over the last decades. Banks which hold either just a number, or themed presets in them. Think in terms of old synthesizers. They had cards with presets. If you wanted other presets you had to change cards.
Two of the best preset systems for me are in the Korg legacy VST collection. The M1 has the mentioned card structure and the Monopoly is a bit easier on the eye. Nevertheless, a must have in my opinion is some sort of structured sorting like "leads", "pads" etc.
So, I just scored a PocketChip at ebay for little over 100€ (Couldn't wait).
Is there a possibility for me to compile the tracker or get the binaries for the system. Since it's just a Debian, it shouldn't be a problem to compile by myself.
I might not find a lot of time, since the revision party is at bay and I still have tons of work for it to do Probably no klystrack entry though 
At least at some more chilled shifts at the infodesk this will be looked at a lot.
Somehow the Pocketchip slipped under my radar and the webshop states Q1 2017 as the next possible delivery date. But as soon, as it'll become available again, I'll order one straight away for this tracker. 
Is there any command to switch the FX Bank while playing an instrument? I try to let a delay kick in the middle of a song, but there seems to be no possibilty to reassign this on the fly. Or am I stupid again?
Edit: It's 1B. Stupid again. 
Yay, finally it's working flawlessly on Win8.1 64bit.
Still not able to get it running under Win 8.1 64bit. But my patience is with me, since I'm able to continue working with it on my second laptop under Win 7.
A fix would be awesome. I'd love to play around with the wavegen.
It sadly keeps crashing for me on 64bit Win 8.1. Just says that the program doesn't work anymore.
This. Is. Awesome.
I actually did my entry for this years revision (follow up party to the breakpoint) demoscene party, as stated a few pages back here. And people are still doing weird stuff. Especially in renoise.
Updating example songs sounds like a nice Idea. I could maybe get my head around a smiling little pdf file with a crash course and also your extended tutorials. Also I still got space left on my server, so consider this done. For the html site, I don't know what you have in your head, but I could also provide that to a certain extend.
On another note: are we talking about shaved armpits? Because shaved ones aren't smelling funky enough.
@noobstar: that's how I learned it too. And I still like the concept. There's no black magic happening or something...it's just messing around with a tracker. So I don't understand, why people have to keep their files top secret.
On a general notice: don't expect too much. These are just files that show my own learning curve with klystrack. There are a lot of lazy workarounds and plain stupid things in there. Just check out Kinetic Machinery. I hadn't get my head around the arp and you can clearly see this in the instrument panel.
Edit: And yes...I used samples in some places because I didn't want to miss trying out that feature.
Thanks
@IceWolf: I could surely upload the work files, if you want them. In mod-files you could read all the stuff and look at it. I still work under this way of thinking and have no problem in handing out the files.
Also back to the topic. I'm running in 64bit and am experiencing no cpu hogging at all. Intel Core I7 HP Laptop with an nVidia GeForce 840M.
