My brain can't process tracker interfaces when making music.  Is there any way to implement a view that has a piano roll like Cakewalk or Mario Paint?

Developer

Yes, it's possible to implement but that defeats the purpose of a tracker. It's important to honor it's heritage, and lots of composers of retro music are used to this way of creating music. If you want bars and blocks there are heaps of great music software available that has it :)

Heya, I've been using PT2 clone for a while and these additions sound great!

I only use linux, so a native linux build, or better yet open repository wold be awesome :)

Developer

Hey. I plan on doing a Linux build very soon. I wanted to get the Windows version out first and get some public testing and feedback first.

Awesome. It does run via wine so I'll give it a shot next time I'm tracking.

I have tested the Linux build available, and can report that it works great for me on CachyOS (arch-based).

Developer

Great, thanks :)

support for more of 128k samples. I know that is incompatible with replayers but can be useful for load them for cut before.

Developer

I like the idea. A way to implement this is to allow user to load extra large samples into a separate sample buffer which is not part of the song data, but available to edit in the sampler, so you can copy/cut, add filters and all that jazz. When module is saved that sample buffer is just ignored.

yes, If you implement this, it would be a good idea to display a notification saying something like:

- Hey! You're trying to load a sample larger than 128k! Bear in mind that this won't be saved in the .mod file.

Developer

I noticed that there is a flag which turns on/off 128kb support. You can control that from protracker.ini

64K_LIMIT=TRUE

I haven't tested this fully so I can't vouch for it.

I tested and it works. but I mean more of 128k

Developer

You've got your wish. Check out latest version :)

Keyboard shortcuts -screen would be nice if it does not exist yet :) 

Developer

Shift+F1 in latest version :)

Since you already started doing some nice file browser improvements, I would love to get an actual scrollbar to drag through big folders.

Developer

Thanks. I added it to the to-do list.

Is there way to disable cursor follow when playing pattern? 

Developer

You mean the current row highlight? It's not possible to disable that.
