Put a note (or at least pause) and

Missile tracker, however:)
Mast:
1. Necessary to make several regimes Write Data - in the sense
to be able to remember a lot of sequences of type: 1F0F,
AC00, 1F3B, etc., for example, filled in the window Write Data
1F0F, then pressed SS +1 - 1F0F memorable sequence on the button
1, in short, not to puff yourself and your brain, I will
explain more simple: need to do to the data Write Data
remembered like binge Minani addresses in the STS (there it is
hung on the A button) - for example, SS +1,2,3,4,5 - remember,
CS +1,2,3,4,5 - to recover.
2. Addition to the interface: if the Write Data mode turned
on and there exists the envelope, then on the button 'L' is
removed not only value of the notes, but the envelope, if
included in the Write data sample, then the 'L' is also removed
and the sample, if the active pattern, and removed and
ornament, and if the sound volume is removed thunder bone. If
the Write Data is turned off, as usual - on the "L" is removed
only note.
3. Introduce an additional option: Delete mode - if enabled,
on "L" to delete all the values (note, the envelope, an
ornament, sample, volume), if disabled, as usual.
4. Make it possible to record in the Write data command (in
the sense glissade, port, etc.).
5. Enter the command Vibrate (fast glissade up and down).
6. Would not hurt to patterns, positions and line numbers
copying was not only to wind young kursorchikami,
ie add another mode: Summing the arrow to the figure, pressure
eat fire, - instead of the number appears small cursor, enter
your value. So it will be much faster to work with copy blocks
Cove.
7. Make a pad of noise for each channel separately (as in
PT2).
8. Transposition of the envelope.
Ivan Roshchin:
1. To be able to install the new value of the period envelope
without rewriting the envelope R13.
(Alone Coder: Autoconversion command sequence established
ki envelope A/E/C/8 in command 9xxx, Axxx?)
2. Just as there are commands for a smooth change of frequency
tone should be similar to the team for the frequency envelope
frequency noise and volume. Need a team to make sound
channel louder or quieter than the specified amount. "
3. With the increase in the number of commands may be
necessary divergence installed on the same note a few commands,
and it should be provide.
4. In Pro Tracker'e can adjust the global volume
melody, and would also control the volume separately for
each channel.
5. To music analyzers were both in BestView;)
6. Well if you could load into memory a few
music (as far as enough memory), and then switch on at
zhatiyu keys from editing one melody to another (eg
measures, SS +1 - 1 st edit a melody, pressed SS +2 - edit
2-nd, etc.). It's easy when you have to collect the melody from
multiple separately written pieces.
7. In Pro Tracker'e have shortcuts SS + W, SS + E - memorize
nanie channel in the buffer / restoration of the buffer. You
can also make and store / restore entire PATTERN, as well as
SAMPLE, ORNAMENT. This will be useful when editing multiple
simultaneously in memory of melodies (for example, took SAMPLE
from one tune to the clipboard, moved on to another melody,
restored from the buffer).
Miguel:
1. I would like to see the work with the blocks (especially
in the sample and ornament editor'ah).
2. It would be nice to do search and replace.
3. Also nice would be to have such an option, as the save
loop, then when there is no need to save a pattern and sequence
also preserving and tools. Well, that is, as a separate song.
You can also make and Copy loop (ie, walk into the positions
list, choosing a loop, you press the SS + E, move the cursor to
need and do SS + R. This implies that in addition to copying
You can make and transfer loop'a. And it follows that the same
can be done in sampleornament editor, and this, in turn,
again makes it necessary to do the job with the blocks, as
globalization flax necessity, without which it becomes harder
and harder and work it.
4. We have to do setup for a mouse, so you can change
Cursor movement speed (pitch), and reverse buttons.
(Alone Coder: oh no, not the reverse ...)
Jeffie:
1. If you enter a decompiler, it displays all the files that
available on disk. If you then go to the disk menu, then list
the disk remains decreases from decompiler'a. It is necessary
that the listing after each drive entrance to the disk options
perefiltrovyvalsya (extensions 'm'), and decompiler'e reread -
to see all the files.
(Alone Coder: merge disk menu and decompiler, adding to the
CCW installs to "all files"?)
2. To be able to print the title track of all the characters,
it is sometimes necessary''and its hell to deliver.
Moran:
1. More than 1 channel in the memory buffer.
2. Claudia hot to reset the counters up. (As in
DIGITAL STUDIO function of HOME.)
3. Memorization of the canal and unload at any position.
4. Hot Claudia for the exchange of + / - transposition.
5. Envelope of the editor of samples.
6. Some analyzers in the blanks.
Alone Coder:
1. PT3 can be 42-character:
1963 0100 g c-April 1234 .... c-April 1234 .... c-April 1234
.... 12 3456 7 890 12345678 901 23456789 012 34567890
2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p
3chr3chr
40 * 6 = 240
+2 P * 8 = 16
= 256
2. AY with no freq 50Hz, and 100Hz.
3. AY with freq 1kHz - samples almost digital, but their
get it?
4. Use the trick (for the turbo does not rent, more
precisely, not quite fall) and make the volume in a quiet
envelope waiting high-frequency envelope.
5. Keep track for tools, which are grouped in
channels. Lanes contain the number of samples (for prescribing
parties shock)! Increases the capacity of channels per identical
Boc easy editing, plus a few similar patterns / channel
crystals are oh how similar path to many tools! Plus
You can see the whole pattern, plus you can edit on the
principle of drum machine, plus rubbing each other's channels
can be selected any (set priorities).
6. Normal tracker, but with an overlay track (superimposed on
any channel to taste).
7. Envelope and its type to put in a sample, the
initialization of the same direction. The gain in the amount of
musical scores.
8. The command to "continue to play predpredyduschuyu note
(for echo).
9. Alternative: vibrato with an old note in the "hole".
10. Keep the melody in terms of stages of the chord and the
chords in terms of scale steps. (Do this only in the
transposition?)
11. In the sampled mode autoenv any rate, with suspenders
sample frequency to the frequency of the envelope with spills
on the + (-) 0 + (-) 1 ... to taste.
12. Table volume is replaced by simple addition.
13. Many lines on the screen, scrolling organizovavat both
sets gozadachnyh systems: if the current cycle has not had time
scrolling Islands remya, then communicate it to the end and the
next time the shift is already at 2 line. Option: display on
screen 32 rows pattern and ZAPU ramp cycle reprint after the
transition to a new pattern (or 2 nd half of this).
14. Parameters of the notes (sample, a form of vibrato and
its depth, character volume changes, etc.) grouped in the
firmware users Vatel (with 1-2 parameters) to a text they did
not take long place. For each of the firmware to allow these
concepts Noe the name, so you can easily find it in the list
(sorting tsifrobukv when the cursor in the edit box). Possible
surface should be strong - remember predpredyduschy ornament
a note will automatically adjust to the volume used,
smoothly change the vibrato, adjust the priorities of
noise, and blending, adjust the envelope of a tone and a tone
envelope envelope, etc. Most likely, it is easier to implement
a change nye firmware (the domain of these variables must be
shared All Firmware, playing in the channel - but also give
access to the transition variables other channels?). The
multiplication / division in the language does not Need (?),
particularly the expression - the expression can be programmed
sequence of microinstructions.
15. Command phasing tonalnika, at least without a parameter
(to envelope with the tone was at least a half-predictable)!
