If I have to use an extra column for digits, I don't mind. However your comments sound like you're not even trying very hard to get into this mindset. I can imagine it's an even bigger problem for new usersĭoesn't matter if you're new or not, what matters is the mindset. Yes, there is a lot of legacy in OpenMPT, but it's not possible to "just" replace it with something different. ), but at that point you will just have to rewrite so much of OpenMPT itself that you could just as well create an entirely new tracker. Certainly you could re-invent them all and come up with new command letters outside the alphabetical range (because 26 commands will no longer suffice because you will have to split up multi-commands like D, E, F, S. See, many of these effect commands simply only work in hexadecimal.

And what's easier to memorize - "values F0 to FF are fine slides, values E0 to EF are extra-fine slides" or "values 240 to 255 are fine slides, values 224 to 239 are extra-fine slides"? Or "the first nibble sets the on-time of tremor, the second nibble sets the off-time" compared to "tremor parameter modulo 16 is on-time, tremor parameter divided by 16 and rounded down is off-time"? "SCx means note cut at tick x. Which won't work with most of the existing commands anyway. No matter how fancy a piano roll might be - it won't happen anytime soon.īesides, values could go all the way to 999 You migh have noticed that OpenMPT already uses decimal ("regular" as you call it) numbers in any other place, including places that also exist in non-tracker DAWs. Hex is used for convenience because you can fit values up to 255 into two letters instead of one. There should be an option for using regular numbers (like in every other DAW I know)Įvery other DAW does not use pattern commands. I am doing this in my spare time and I don't want the mainstream mass to take over my spare time with questions and bug reports.Īlso, there is no "again", trackers were never mainstream to begin with.Īnd reading the roll from the left to right like you do in those programs is a LOT less clunky feeling than dealing with the noted dropping from top to bottom like in Renoise as well. Good God, the last thing I need OpenMPT to be is "popular" and "mainstream". Might help to make Tracker Modules a mainstream format again
NO PIANO ROLL MULAB 7 CODE
Tested code revision (in case you know it) Has the bug occurred in previous versions? Adding a piano roll tab similar to what Modedit or Soundclub had as a choice for track editing would really make this tracker stand out from the competition and would also make it less intimidating in appearance to newbies. It's a shame that there's no really no trackers that offer that choice of piano roll interface anymore. I got my start working with both types of trackers, and I most often used trackers like Modedit and Soundclub back in the day. Sometimes, piano roll makes things a lot easier to work with than hex numbers. I know it would be redundant, but I think it would be nice for a future release to have a piano roll editor tab to work from as well as the regular tracker screen. So you need to focus them one by one then press the bound key.OpenMPT 1.25.03.00 / libopenmpt 0.2-beta15 (upgrade first) The window receiving the "Dock in MultiDock" keypress must have focus. For example, you may not want your synth rack, video, navigator etc.

and I doubt if that's what you really want in any case. Say you have three views in a floating multi dock (console, PRV, and a virtual instrument GUI), is there a way to set a key binding that would cycle through whatever you have in the multi dock, alternating each into focus as you “toggle “ through?
