- very small mention of me and the tracker (nothing fancy) would be
- greatly appreciated.

- Future Improvements
- ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- 1] MIDI keyboard support is a thing i've been working on for a while.
-
- 2] Make colour, keys all user definable (according to demand of course)
-
- 3] make it OS/2 friendly.
-
- 4] Full AWE32 support
-
- 5] If it gets popular and people start demanding it, i'll make
- it multitrack. A realistic range would be from 4CHAN to 16CHAN.
-
- 6] Add 16 bit sample support to editor (ie 16 bit Funktracker modules)
-
- 7] If it gets popular then i'll convert the crustly text interface to
- a graphics/mouse driven interface.
-
- 8] an intergrating interface with Adam's new sampler (Sound Studio)
- that's on the drawing board.
-
- If you have any suggestions, just say (and no nasty "kero and a match"
- type suggestions either) :).
-
- Some of them have been:
-
- ■ Support MOD, S3M
-
- (hmmmm.....I used to hold the argument that- "I wouldn't have
- made Funktracker in the first place if i could get decent
- S3M&MOD code". But some of my friends reckon you can. So,
- we'll see. I definately will be implementing a "loadon"
- converter for MOD & S3M).
-
- ■ Polymorphic effect
-
- (Yep. When MIDI keyboard is supported. you should be able to
- enter chords etc.).
-
- ■ Add Amiga finetune
-
- (Nupe. The format won't change now. Sorry. Besides. Finetune
- is an amiga thing. However, I have added a 'Resampler'.).
-
-
- see ya

- WHATS NEW
- ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- 1.06 hasn't been dragged through the full testing cycle like the other
- versions. The new amendments have only been tested on my machine.
-
- If there are any problems, then i'll just have to fix and release again :).
- I'll working on MIDI keyboard support now.
-
-
- MUSTDO:
-
- - Previously, the memory parameters were set at compile time.
- Now you can configure these in the setup.
- - MIDI keyboard support (it's coming, it's coming)
-
-
- DONE:
-
- ■ 1.06: (17th May 95)
-
- - DOS32 update. Now uses V3.01α. ..the dosshell works.
- - A have now, once and for all made a 256 point, perfectly
- linear GUS table that doesn't lagg. GUSTABLE.INC has been abolished.
- - added badly needed re-sampler. Now you can tune your WAV samples
- in perfectly :).
- - display directories are now sorted
- - Reintroduced full PAS16 support. PAS support currently uses
- MVSOUND.SYS.the p-mode environment will from time to time be
- a problem. (NB/ excessive sampling rates >22050 will sometimes
- cause clicking to occur)
- - SB16 support :)
- - oooppsss :).... RLO's (Reload Sample Attr's). 1.05 accidently
- reloads a samples frequency into the channel. This is NOT in the
- RLO defination. This means that Command C would instantly cut out
- when using RLO's. <dumb> ..This is been fixed so it doesn't do
- it any more.
-
- ■ 1.05: (23rd April 95)
-
- - First public release (just wanted to release the thing)
- - The GUS volume table sucks
- - OS/2 Unfriendly
- - DosShell doesn't work very well (DOS 3.00 bug)
-
- ■ 1.00 - 1.04: (July 94 - March 95)
-
- - development, testing, and minor modifications
- (used to have PAS support in these versions, but experenced
- major problems)
- - Big thankyou's go to Tom Verbeure/Synergy for improving my DAC
- routines, and By Adam Seychell for being "on tap" when problems
- cropped up regarding P-mode, and Dickydick, 30SC, Snowman,
- Brandon Williamson, 30SC, Jase/Enigma and everybody else for
- beta testing.
