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...
