![]() I take by "squatty window" you mean small, well there's an option in the config to select the size between 640x4x1024 and of course you can work in full-screen, also toggleable in the config, or with Alt-Enter. However, the demand for an Ft2 like file selector has been so great (I for one need this badly too), there's going to be one at some point. Resorting to OS dialogs for disk operations has been the ideal solution for preserving the software's easy portability across different platforms. I don't know if the splash screen shall become optional at some point but did you ever time how long Ft2 takes to boot up the custom DOS extender? There's practically no difference. The layout is admittedly a little different from Ft2 so it can better fit the tiny screens of 320x240 PocketPC devices. Hence the current version number v0.90.30. MilkyTracker is not finished software just yet. Until then, time to fire up my win98 lite box :) Somebody tell me when a real FT2 clone is released, like a 1:1 copy that runs on Linux or winXP. ![]() ![]() Why would I do that when I am an expert at this one? If you change this crap, I have to re-learn a different program. Now, since I've been tracking on the same piece of software for eleven years, naturally I can maneuver the keyboard in my sleep. I'll just jump to the worst part of this "FT2 clone" experience. FT2 at least (when you figure out how to crash it.) saves a backup of whatever you are in the middle of called BACKUP.XM. The whole program crashed without warning when I tried to open a different directory. In FT2, you could preview instantly, which lets you fly through your thousands of samples quickly to find the one you want. I tried to browse my samples and instruments, and I find I have to load a file before I hear it. You are then treated to a squatty window with a completely different layout. When you click the icon, it throws a ridiculous graphic up that you have to look at for 2 seconds. So I tried it out, thinking "Wow, I can have all my audio software on one machine finally!". They were claiming they had an FT2 clone. I even set up a DOS box just to run it!Īnyway, I recently heard about Milkytracker and I flipped out. There are several win32 substitutes, and some decent linux trackers, and I have used them all. Trouble (benefit?) is, it will only run in native DOS, not even fakeDOS that XP uses, nor linux. I am a hardcore Fasttracker 2 fan way back since 1996 (That's eleven years ago, kids!).
