Hello, Witch Doctor
hmm... what you suggest from modtracker is understandable...
only for this you also need to implement the same selection.
these ideas will be implemented in Enigma Tracker, which slowly writes
Firestarter.
but ideas about transitions are interesting...

Hello, All
I'd like to go over the features (and lack thereof) of Vortex Tracker &
ProTracker. It is in this connection that it makes sense to consider them. Because player one
:)
So:
add. player capabilities:
1. THE MOST IMPORTANT: Use unused commands 7 and 8 - volume ++ /
volume --
2. the ability to move to a given pattern and to a given position in it - i.e.
analogue of software JP
3. It would also be interesting to make an analogue of the software call/ret
add. editing options:
taken from modPlugTracker;
Ctrl+Q:; Transpose selection one halftone up
Ctrl+A; Transpose; selection one halftone down
Ctrl+Shift+Q; Transpose; selection one octave up
Ctrl+Shift+A; Transpose; selection one octave down
Ctrl+J; Interpolate; volume
Of course, you can live without all this... However, saving time
the user will be tangible, and his gratitude will be limitless
I ask the current muzakers to support and ask the respected authors
implement.

Hello bugsy
hmm... selection is simply a selected fragment of a pattern. Those. for Vortex -
there seems to be no talk at all... You should see this in him first of all.
And in PT... I would do it SIMPLY - like in text editors - on the mountains. buttons.

Hello, Witch Doctor
It is no longer permissible to do this “todo” in pt3 format, because it is already a bit old
- over 5 years old. For example, if it is necessary to use pt3, I would prefer
the old version from mmcm - it seems to me somewhat more convenient than the versions from alco.. I see
The point is that loading a modified format module into it does no good
will lead.. Moreover, these ideas are very doubtful.. For example, teams
volume control can only be applied to global volume
channel (which, by the way, simply does not exist in pt3), and the use of musical
"call/ret" will seem inconvenient for a non-programmer - it is much more logical to simply
copy the required piece :wink;
Other; the point is to implement in these trackers what was allowed by the format
initially, but due to the weakness of the 128k machine it was not implemented.. Such
There are a lot of possibilities in the format... for example, 85 patterns (and not 40-something like in
pt3), patterns longer than 64 notes (recently implemented in VT),
tools and ornaments of greater length and of course - use at the same time
over 1 team...
All other innovations (such as 6 channels and new commands) are logical to implement in
new music format.. well, at least pt4:wink;
ps.; I still don’t understand why Sergey Bulba created the output format
your tracker compatible with pt3.. it could have been significantly strengthened
possibilities...
