Changes in RMT 1.17

-------------------

 

- Menu Track:

* Load and paste to actual track.

* Save actual track as...

* Clear all duplicated tracks, adjust song.

(Note: This function is also included in Song - All size optimizations.)

- New block effect/tool (menu Block - Effect/tools or Ctrl+F

or toolbar button "FX") function: "Modify notes, instruments and volumes".

- Function "Song - Prepare song line with unused empty tracks (Ctrl+P)"

was changed to "Song - Insert new line with unused empty tracks (Ctrl+P)"

and now it insert this new songline into actual song line positions,

not to line below.

- Function "Song - Prepare duplicated song line (Ctrl+O)"

was changed to "Song - Insert copy or clone of song line(s) (Ctrl+O)".

and now it shows new copy/clone dialog for setting of parameters

for this very helpful function.

- Menu Song:

* Put new empty unused track to actual song position (Ctrl+N).

- "File - Export as XEX Atari executable msx" there is possible to:

* define 4+1 lines now. 5th line is showed instead of 4th line

if Atari SHIFT key is pressed.

* define color of rasterline meter.

- "File - Export as SAP file" there is possible to define hexadecimal song line

numbers for more SAP module subsongs. Initial values are prepared by automatic

subsong-detection algorithm, but you can change it at pleasure.

- Added "*.tm8" extension in Import TMC open file dialog.

- New option in Config dialog (menu View - Configuration):

* F1-F8 keyboard layout:

- RMT original keyboard layout.

- Layout 2:

F1=track edit,F2=instrument edit,F3=info edit,F4=song edit

F5=Play,F6=Play from start,Ctrl+F7=Play tracks,F7=Replay tracks,F8=Stop

(This layout is for F5-F8 keys identical with some other renowned

module tracker programs.)

 

Accessories

- Atari RMT player RMTPL104.XEX (new version 1.04) is in "player" directory.

(There is short description in RMTPL104.TXT file.)

 

New songs

- Song "hexxagon.rmt" (Hexxagon music & sfx, raster/c.p.u., 2003)

Song "basix.rmt" (Basix, by raster/c.p.u. 2004)

Song "gemx.rmt" (Gem'x song, Atari version by raster/c.p.u. 2004)

in "songs" directory.

(SAP file "hexxagon.sap" with 6 subsongs is in "exports/sap" directory.)

(SAP file "basix.sap" with 9 subsongs is in "exports/sap" directory.)

 

Bug fixes

- Revision of keyboard control.

NumLock mode is turned off all the time when tracker main window is active,

so that key combinations Shift+NumBlockKeys are working as well as state

of right Shift key can be correctly detected now.

- Internal improvement of TMC import algorithm (better recognition of identical

tracks arised from other tracks by song shift parameter).

- If tracker window isn't active, MIDI events on channel 0 are ignored.

- Other small corrections and bugfixes.

 

Enjoy it!
