New Feature - Pitch Modulation (PMOD)
As far as we know, SNES Tracker v0.2.3 is the first music tracker software to have a pattern naming feature! In other words, this may be the first music tracker in the world to include pattern naming.
Pattern naming makes it a lot easier to manage your musical ideas. Here are some pictures of the same song on v0.2.2, and then on v0.2.3 with some patterns named:
BEFORE
AFTER
- fixes #128 - Automatic appending of file extension to saved files
- (Licensing) give pcx2snes MIT license with developer permission.
- fixes #161 - Scroll Instruments box to top when loading a song
- fixes #162 - Fixes "Numlock ON limits pattern editor functionality"
- Fixes #167 - [bug] Long BRR Filename overflows Sample Panel on Load
- Fixes #173 - Recent Files displays incorrect auto-completed file extension file
- fixes #175 - new pattern gets 0 length
- Fixes #127 - Building Sub-Makefiles Properly
- !critical bug fix! No more temporary hangup at runtime #160
- Wrong info was displayed in Zap Instrument's sample delete dialog #151
- Instr/Sample Name Length #153
- Do not use INFINITE for default instrument Sustain Release #146
- Native Windows 64-bit compile support
- 32-bit cross compile support (for win32 binaries)
Binaries available at this time only to Patreon Supporters.
- Add Wiki, Soundcloud, Stream (Twitch), and Twitter links to the About Menu.
- Nicer UI as per #142
- Additionally, I removed the Sequence Length field, as it wasn't very useful.
Under the Hood improvements:
- Text objects can now control the background color
- Sonic the Hedgehog now powers the Main_Window class (inside joke from SNES Tracker Twitch stream)
- The background colors are properly located in the Colors UI array.
- Fix crash when Preferences.ini Recent File entry is corrupt #139
- Fix BRR Rip bug #138
- Fix scenario where echo flag was not saved for a song's instrument #130
- Fix unsaved changes not always detected when closing app #124
- As prep for adding in SPD effect commands - Change default SPD to 8 and unlock the adjustment. Technical jargon: Note that this doesn't behave like a traditional SPD yet! and only BPM will affect playback speed for now. I plan on having SPD of 8 reflect the BPM when each row is a 16th note, and adding SPD adjustment commands! woot woot
