seems to be working as expected! fantastic 😀 i'm super thankful

btw, i might found a bug... in some circumstances applying ping-pong loop to the sample causes the ft2 to crash, couldn't repeat it though...

thanks a lot! will test it tonight 😀

Let me know if it works, I don't really know what I'm doing since I don't know MIDI stuff very well.
As said before, this will permanently disable the program change on MIDI out, so it's possible that it messes something up by never sending that data.

Unless you can't reproduce that crash, I'm afraid I won't be able to trigger the bug myself and narrow it down.

i'll really try to to it

well, the bug persist. i start ft2, go to disk.op and load sample, go to sample edit and click to ping-pong loop - it crashes. if i click on forward loop and then on ping-pong, everything is ok. and it's the same on both versions

I see, I can indeed trigger the bug on FT2.10. I'm currently writing FT2.11, and the bug is not there... I probably fixed it by changing something else.
Not sure when FT2.11 will be released, needs a bit more testing.

looking forward!

how do you thing, is it possible to add filtering on mmx-capable computers, like in IT2?.. i seem asking for too much 😀

I only bug-fix FT2, I don't really add new complicated features...

I just released FT2.11. It can as always be downloaded from here: https://16-bits.org/other.php
Here's the special "no MIDI program change" version for traffkin: https://www.dropbox.com/s/b624qekij49get9/FT2 … DI_PRG.ZIP?dl=1

Changes in v2.11:

• Fixed a bug from FT2.10c where setting a sample's loop to "pingpong" would crash the program if "Replen." was zero
• Stereo samples from loaded XMs/XIs will no longer be unplayable (but will still only contain the left channel data)
• .MOD/.S3M/.STM import is yet again improved and bugfixed. Certain 15-sample MOD files may still load incorrectly though
• Prevent system lock-up when loading very specific S3M files
• Up/down pushbutton delay has been increased to prevent accidentally skipping too much
• Fixed a bug with the sampling position line (Smp. Ed.) after a non-looping sample has been played
• Inserting a key-off in edit mode where "Add." is 0 would cause it to not be displayed until you move the row up/down
• 44100Hz is now the default mixing frequency
• The default amp is now 10x (doesn't affect GUS)
• SB16: Setting the mixing frequency to 44100Hz now gives a true frequency of 45454Hz instead of 41666Hz
• SB Pro/SB16: Added a config switch to not allow FT2 to modify the SB mixer volumes. Handy for laptops with digital volume controls, where FT2 would reset vol. to 100% at times
• More small changes not worth of a mention

wow! thank you very-very much! i really appreciate it!

little bug found - capslock sets invisible note-off on the current step, it gets visible only when one moves the cursor on another step

Hmm yes, it seems to happen if "Add." (the number of rows to increase when entering a note) is set to 0. I'll write a buglist and put it in there.
This bug has been there since the first version of FT2, apparently.
EDIT: I stealthy fixed this right now. Same links as usual.

suggestion - is it possible to make "edit" more indicated additionally somehow? you did that on os x version. maybe, whole screen slightly changes the colour or mouse cursor changes its colour... it would be very helpful

To be honest, I think it's good enough as is (the border color changing color).

the thing is that sometimes there's no border at all, on many lcd monitors. i think it was designed for crt displays which is really excellent idea. but on contemporary monitors one needs to artificially move the picture from the center to see the border which breaks the pixel-to-pixel consistency. i believe, most of diehard dos users use lcd stuff anyway 😀 but if this is the complicates task, let it be as is of course

That's true... I just don't know how to solve the problem in an elegant way. There's not really much room in the UI to put indicators.

exactly, that's why i told you about mouse cursor / channel numbers colour. but it might not be as elegant as the frame though... hard task really

Hi!
Thank you for your active development of the original FT2 as well as the Clone!
I already contacted you privately in the past, at the limit of spam! 😉
Do you think you'll be able in the future to make some midi out port options for different devices?
Thank you!!!

Nope, sorry. I don't know how to do that.

another midi related issue, there're two ways of note off - actual note off message and note with zero velocity. it seems that ft2 understands just one of them (not sure which one though). is it possible to add another one? kinda important addition, i believe. for example, noted sent from my norm modular g2 keyboard hang infinitely and all the same from m-audio work fine

I don't really want to touch the MIDI code any further without knowing what I'm doing, sorry.
