I disagree.

I think it's very useful even for samples below 31kHz (B-3). The 2x decimator (for downsampling) is also quite decent, so it's a good way of reaching higher notes for samples in your collection. There is no other way to initiate the high-quality downsampler, the built-in ones in the sample editor are really poor.

You can just right-click, or press ESC/N when it pops up to cancel it.

I know how to convert sample to the note I want. This kind of forced helping doesn't help me at all. Contrary. Every time I load, reload, re-edit sample (which happens to be very often) that is destined to one of notes like F#3, G-3, G#3 , A-3 , A#3 and B-3 I'm bugged with this message. I would like to disable it permanently.

[8bitbubsy]

Fair enough, I'll make a config entry for disabling it.
Also remember that another reason for implementing the downsampler was so that the user can get more data loaded into the rather small 64K limit.

[no9]

Thank you.

[8bitbubsy]

no9: Fixed.

v1.35 released: https://16-bits.org/pt2.php | Changelog: https://github.com/8bitbubsy/pt2-clo...ases/tag/v1.35

[no9]

That was quick

[8bitbubsy]

Hold on, there's an issue with clicks when looping samples once. I'm investigating. Will release v1.36 after fixing it.

PT2 clone v1.36 released: https://16-bits.org/pt2.php | Changelog: https://github.com/8bitbubsy/pt2-clo...ases/tag/v1.36

no9: Please update again.

[no9]

Done.

Btw. I just noticed that you added Karplus Strong synthesis feature. Do you know what versions of Protracker supported that? It would be such a nice toy to play if developed further...

From very early on, possibly even the first public version.

[no9]

Thanks. Looks like big overlook from me. But better late than never... or not

[no9]

That's actually quite cool

I probably should get out of this thread right now

[8bitbubsy]

Just released v1.38, now with 128kB sample support again.
To enable the 128kB support, you need to check out the "64K_LIMIT" setting on top of the new protracker.ini file.

Important: Please read the comment above this config file setting. It explains a few things that you should know about 128kB mode.

Do you think sample instantiation is feasible? (read: more instruments using the same sample but different parameters - ideal for chiptunes)

Not really, the tracker is meant to work with .MOD only (and the PT replayer).

What about adding a "stereo separation" slider (0-100%) as WinUAE does? I'm not a fan of the mixdown either and there are no hardpanning binaries in the Linux version.
There are many ways to downmix the channels yourself with a custom audio render path (this is mine) but the other way round is impossible.

[8bitbubsy]

You just quoted a really old post, nice.
Anyway, check out "STEREOSEPARATION" at the bottom of protracker.ini.

[NoX1911]

There were only 4 posts with 'stereo' in the thread. I've picked that one.
Anyways, there is no protracker.ini in the Linux version and i had to find my way to figure out it has to go into ~/.protracker (ini taken from the Windows version). And it works, thanks! I guess it will go similar with FT2.

Well, yeah that means a new routine but think at how have more parameters for a sample might save RAM instead of have multiple copies of the same

It's just not fundamentally compatible with how MOD works. The PT2 clone really is a ProTracker 2 clone, it's meant to operate on .MOD and not add new things to the format or the replayer.
