just for the record, I'm making a song in adlib tracker, and discovered the del key is working like in bintracker. I'm not a big fan of this, but it can make sense. Do as you wish, or make a survey (or an option in the config file)!

I've tried my binary (which is working) on my main computer. There are still the flashes. I think it's because of the graphical board, it's ATI and sometimes I have odd things on this computer.

alt+6 is working now. alt+7 does nothing, either in French, EN or DE (with the associated setxkbmap). I'm wondering if it's not the stupid windows manager (kde) which is doing this. Yeah, I've checked it, they have a shortcut (well hidden), with alt+`. But ` should be with altgr, not just alt. Anyway, i've removed it and it works now. On the Mate desktop, there is also another shortcut associated to this key combination!

I've only tested quickly, i looks ok so far but I should check more and better.

yeah, with arrows it would be great. Mouse is not mandatory, as we often use keyboard more on a tracker.

ah, yes, thanks.

yes, with or without shift it's the same: I get the litteral replacement for the symbols, "minus", "amperstand" etc. It's something from allegro I think. It's only on French keyboard.

I've worked a bit with bintracker. Very pleasant and quite intuitive to use. It reminds me somehow of 1tracker.
Text file format rocks! (I'll tell later why)

I've changed the colors in the settings.ini, now it looks so nice.
I've set the keyboard to FR. Now I have something odd. I won't open an issue because it's maybe a quick fix.

Alt+1...+5 is working fine for changing the octave. Alt+6 is decreasing the length of the song instead of choosing octave 6! Alt+8 is increasing the octave, as expected. Alt+7 does nothing. In english keyboard mode (I've changed my keyboard with setxkbmap us), it's similar, except that alt+6 is working as expected.

So as I said, I saved my file first, then made a new version with more data in it. Then I removed some rows with the alt+6 command. I didn't want to undo, so I just saved my file under a new name, and compared it with the first version with a diff tool to retried the infos from the deleted rows.

Really, text source rules! (something I like too in 1tracker)

For the deletion of some notes, I found it strange that "del" is shifting all values in the column up. Probably some trackers are doing this as well, but I think it's more commun to just delete the value with "del", and shift values up with "backspace" (like in 1tracker or milkytracker). But we can get used to it. Also the problem is sometimes the keyboard responds odd and I get two inputs instead of one. So instead of deleting 1 note I wanted to remove, and stay on the same place, it will delete the note and the next one not supposed to be removed.

For the selection of special commands, I didn't understand how to select the value until I read the manual. Well maybe I'm a bit dumb, but when I began to type, I got a selection list. I tried to select one item with the arrows, but it didn't work. I tried to click, it didn't work. I tried to type the first letter of the command, hoping it would cycle through all the item (on/off), didn't work either. Then I discovered we have to enter the first letters. It's that simple. But maybe using arrows or cycling with only one letter would make it simple for newcomers, just an idea (maybe using mouse it too overkill). After, I noticed for some commands, like up/down, just typing the first letter works so it's good when you're used to the tool

Now I'm working more on my tune!

yes, that's the problem with LTS, it's supported until april 2019, and they release latest packages for Firefox, Libreoffice, and all that sort of stuff, but for development packages you stay with the old ones. And they made also a stupid decision for the linux mint "KDE" version, you can't upgrade to latest version (18) because they said new KDE 5 version (plasma) is so much different that you have to install a new fresh version of the system, which is a complete PITA.

I've compiled bintracker with your modified line. And now it works on my main computer!! Great, I'll be able to play with it. Thanks a lot!

I've finally installed allegro from git sources, and now it works
https://wiki.allegro.cc/index.php?title … nux/Debian

well, compilation works, but when I start bintracker, it says:

./bintracker
FATAL ERROR: Allegro initialization failed.

I'll try the binary on another computer

=> EDIT I've removed all other allegro lib I've had, now I can launch it, but the window screen is flashing!! It can play sounds, though.

I can't compile it.

I've installed allegro from https://wiki.allegro.cc/index.php?title … buntu_PPAs (so I have allegro 5.2.2)

I think it worked with an alpha version you gave to me, but it's no longer the case. Now I get this on the same computer:

g++ -c -O2 -std=c++11 -ffast-math -no-pie -o bintracker.o bintracker.cpp
In file included from bintracker.cpp:5:0:
gui/gui.h:5:36: fatal error: allegro5/allegro_image.h: No such file or directory

I've been on http://download.gna.org/allegro/allegro/5.2.1 but it doesn't download anything.

Which minimum version of gcc or clang does it need? The latest gcc on my system (linux mint 17.3 LTS) is 4.8 I think. For clang, even with Mint 18, latest version is 3.8
g++ -c -O2 -std=c++11 -ffast-math -no-pie -o bintracker.o bintracker.cpp
g++: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-no-pie’
make: *** [bintracker.o] Erreur 1

clang++ -c -O2 -std=c++11 -ffast-math -no-pie -o bintracker.o bintracker.cpp
clang: error: unknown argument: '-no-pie'

on a newer system, there is the problem with allegro5/allegro_image.h

oh, ok, no problem, I understand that. But I'm very glad to learn it will be included into an album because this tune is wonderful! So you don't mind this little extract is on instagram? (It's only 15 or 20 seconds). I'd really like to get the .tap if you don't mind. I won't spread it of course!

I'm just wondering if it's this engine which was used in this tune, could you confirm please?

@Utz do you have this awesome song somewhere so we can listen to it?

Here is my first tune using Pytha:

http://garvalf.online.fr/var/upload/mus … rciere.tap

a rendered version from my ZX (first tune in the list atm): http://garvalf.online.fr/index.php?page=musiques_zx.en

very impressive, as usual!

I have a question about the 1tracker version of this engine. If I understand well, the last column, for drum, has D, prm and Kp. D set the drum type (1=kick, 2=hihat, 3=snare), prm set the parameter for kick (slide speed), Kp more parameter such as starting pitch.

How can we reset this in 1tracker? I wanted to add some effects to the drum, but if I set let's say 002 in the prm and 64 into Kp, I can't go back to "normal" mode, because 0 (empty) is like no new parameter has been set so it continues to has the effect and there is no way to reset the previous ones.

Also it looks like the volume for noise drums such as hithat (2) is working with a value into prm, but not for snare (3)

It's not in the doc but the little d close to T1 and T2 is for detune. That's convenient.

1        drum configuration
        omitted if bit 2 of word 0 is reset
    0..7    drum parameter
        if mode = kick, set the slide speed
        if mode = noise, set the volume
    8..14    if mode = kick, set starting pitch
    14..15    set drum mode:    00 = kick
                10 = noise hi (hihat)
                11 = noise lo (snare)
