Great news, thank you Utz!

I have to thank Texas Instruments for making me reach new level of rage everytime my calc shut down and clears his memory. AAARGH, the madness.

Anyway, i'll catch this occasion to report a few bugs/ tips.
- don't play to much around when you want to make drone sound with the fx F00. The calc will go nuts and you'll lose your work.
- If you mute a channel using the ,() symbols and load another track without un-muting, the "muting controls" commands in the new track loaded will be inverted. Nothing is damaged, it isn't just how it's supposed to work.
- the "autoinc" option (mode button) is annoying when is automatically inserted when loading the calc. I'd suggest to leave it deactivated when the calc is loaded.

I must admit, i'm obsessed with this thread. I come back lurking daily to see if there's any update. Some question. I want to share my Houston Tracker chiptune with the web. Is there any place to post the track where i can find most of the houston tracker composers? What tag should i use on soundcloud? Will there be an option to extract a single song from the backup file as you can do with Lsdj using the "lsdj manager"?

Thank you!

real time crash report
I was adding some sweet notes in the channel 3. After i played/ stopped it for a while it suddenly stopped producing any sound. I tried to change the jack but nothing happened. Then i tried to turn off ht2 but  the "alpha + on" combination seemed to not work. Then i smelled the imminent crash, so i saved. After i confirmed the save, the program freezed. Before i remove the batteries, is there a way to ripristine the calculator or to save the song without going in "transfer" mode?

EDIT: I waited some minutes then i tried to connect it anyway to the pc, then i started button mashing and it somehow came back working but no sound. I made a backup and now is workin normally again. It's funy how a tiny calculator can give you so many emotions.

Not really a bug report, just sharing my experience.
I was jamming in my car with the calculator connected to the stereo and i decided to pratice a little more with the fx channel. Iwas in "Row play " mode, 06 speed. I started adding many effects and while playing the song i used to click the octave button ("trace" on my ti 82) to hear a cool glitch sound. Then suddenly the claculator shut down and when i tried to restart HT2 it just freezed during the loading. I had to remove the battery to make the calc work again, but obviously by doing so i resetted the machine. I not only lost the song, but even the entire program! had to reinstal it.
Moral of the story:
Don't click shit and stuff kids and always backup your songs after every composing session.

i just bought a TI-82 Stats. fr and installed HT2. I love it! I also hope you'll keep improving the tracker, thought it is still awesome anyway. I have another noob question. I'd like to compose songs using headphones (for example, when i'm on the train). unfortunatelly the volume with headphones is pretty low, is there any way to turn up the volume from the calculator?
Thanks again (also, it's "GiaKo", with one "K" )
