Then open another tab, load something in, sync the bpm/spd and then use my CRTL-F11/F12 shortcuts to cycle through the patterns inna FT2-like way somehow. I then use song-play-mode on this pattern. So, in most cases i have only a single pattern in my orderlist when jamming live. The player logic is different to ft2 in this case. This, however, is not possible in milkytracker. Hitting CTRL-CURSOR-LEFT/RIGHT would make a gapless cycle through all patterns.
In order to 'mix' in a single fasttracker instance you'd need lots of patterns in advance that you'd play and improvise in realtime in 'play-pattern-mode'. Loading additional songs causes gaps in playback and unwanted volume changes. Classic (or first-generation) trackers like fasttracker for example can only load a single song at a time. It is the process of playing songs (but more often simply patterns) in multible tabs (or different instances) in realtime (jamming). Without doubt it is the most complicated type of tracking.Īnother type of tracking can be described as 'live-tracking' or 'dj-tracking' or maybe 'trackjaying', whatever you like. A 'song' is usually measured in time, it has a beginning and an end. By 'everyday-tracking' i mean 'classic-song-tracking', 'making tracks', 'getting a song done'. No need to touch the mouse anymore to do orderlist operations. I find these shortcuts very useful in my 'everyday-tracking'. A process also known as clonebuttonless cloning. Voila! Then simply copy a pattern, increase new order with CTRL-F12 and paste into. Rather than moving your mouse across the whole screen to the top left corner trying to hit one of the tiny plus/minus symbols, now just press CTRL-F10. Those CTRL-Fx shortcuts can be used to control the song editor (pattern order editor). FT2-edit-mode only, but i think with a little helloworld-skills you can easily adopt it to milkytracker edit mode. I'd like to introduce some additional keyboard-shortcuts for the SDL version. I knew it was love but thats another story. I asked: You wanna be my friend, milky?! It replied: Feed me samples! Wow! This shouldnt be too hard. It has a strange name but is quite userfriendly. Me and ft2 have had a long lasting relationship, nowadays we meet each other only sparely. It is sometimes hard for me to express exactly what i mean when talking about features or reflecting differences between milky and ft2 without emotional touch.
Not too long ago i was looking at the sources to find out how the input control handling is done and how i would be able to edit some values in order to speed things up a little.
