0CC-FamiTracker 0.3.13

Download

This version adds the ability to specify ranges in the find / replace dialog, and the feature to create new instruments by recording the output of most channels; moreover instruments of these sound chips are now interchangeable, reducing the need to duplicate instruments in large multi-chip FTMs. The refactoring involved allows easier integration of new external sound chips. Channel state retrieving has also been extended to cover tempo and groove effects, including the groove position of any given row, so that sequences of Fxx effects can now be completely replaced by grooves with no loss of information.

Additions

• Added a command to create new instruments by recording the output of certain channels as instrument sequences
• Instruments of all sound chips (except FDS and VRC7) are compatible

Improvements

• "Retrieve channel state" now respects Fxx and Oxx effects, as well as current groove position
• Tracker now stops retrieving channel states after encountering a Cxx effect
• Added ranges to the search query and the ability to search fields that do not match parts of the query
• Pressing a note key always previews the current instrument even when cursor is not on the note column when edit mode is disabled
• Ctrl + Left/Right now shifts the phase of the current wave in the FDS / N163 wave editor, Ctrl + Down inverts the wave

Bug fixes

• Cleanup actions that alter the pattern data always reset the undo history
• Fixed various memory leaks
• Copying selection as plain text now empties unselected columns properly
• Text export now writes unused N163 channels to output file according to the behaviour of official build
• Fixed text importer not allowing "^-0" in pattern note field
• Added ".-#" wildcard for search query for the noise channel
• Fixed horizontal tab character not working in sequence editor MML field
• Fixed arpeggio scheme text field parsing "+x y..." as "+y y..."
• Fixed FDS instrument editor registering a file change on opening if the current instrument uses any non-zero FM parameter
• 7xy effect on VRC6 sawtooth channel matches NSF behaviour (clip at volume 34 if V01 is set and volume underflows)
• N163 Z7F command now takes effect immediately
• Fixed incorrect slide effect parameters from recalling N163 channel state
• Multichip NSFs no longer crash due to FDS allowing VRC6 and VRC7 to modify the driver code
• Fixed Zxx on N163 channels in exported NSFs being cancelled by loading new instruments
• Fixed MMC5 Pulse 2 not halting when MMC5 Pulse 1 is muted in multichip NSFs
• Fixed the above bug crashing NSFs containing the FDS chip
• Fixed 1xx, 2xx, 3xx effects becoming 1/4 as fast on N163 in exported NSFs

This version introduces effects that facilitate frequency modulation on the FDS channel, and unlocks the bookmark manager which previously would result in a crash. The arpeggio scheme editor finally provides a way to visually view and modify arpeggio types from the graph. This release also goes to show that the latest revision had more bugs than the release on which it was based.

Starting from this release, source code will only be provided on this repository, not in download archives.

• Register display now highlights recent register writes, blue for new values, red for old values
• Groove settings dialog allows direct text input and copying grooves as Fxx effect pattern data
• Added a context menu command for the VRC7 instrument editor to copy the current instrument as plain text values

Bug fixes

• Tracker no longer crashes upon loading FTMs that contain patterns with zero non-empty rows
• Tracks using fixed tempo now always allow speed values up to 255
• Fixed pattern editor not resetting the selection area when using Shift key to create a new selection
