MilkyTracker Bug Reports / Re: replayer bug, mixer
« on: July 10, 2008, 13:19:20 »
Yep seems so. I just checked this in some other popular XM-replayers, and in XM-mode they all reset sample pointer upon note command, so it needs to be fixed for proper PT replaying only.

MilkyTracker Bug Reports / [confirmed?] replayer bug, mixer
« on: July 09, 2008, 18:42:53 »
I remember reporting this bug over a year ago, and noticed that it's still present... It resets the sample pointer to the sample's start upon every note command, causing an ugly click that screws with the ramping-mixer (sounds even more terrible without ramping, ofc.) This bug affects PT mode; no idea how Fasttracker handled note commands, but I believe it did the same as the NT2 compatibles.

Example;

F-5 01 --  ---
E-5 --  --  ---  <- !
C-5 --  --  ---
A-4 --  --  ---
...

When an instrument command is not issued for a note you should only alter the frequency of the sample being played, and keep mixing from the current position of the sample, not replay it from the start like Milky does now.

edit: to clarify, with "instr. command" I mean the instrument selection only, not the effect command.

You are forgetting to "reset" the portamento note, which in all NT2 compatible replayers is actually set everytime a new note is issued, regardless instrument/effect. In your case, the note is only set when a 3xx command is issued for that same note, causing a persistent portamento to show up where it shouldn't.

Bug example:

C-3 01 -- ---
---  --  -- ---
E-3 --  -- 304
---  --  -- 300
---  --  -- ---
C-3 01 -- ---
---  --  -- ---
---  --  -- 300   <-  !

In Milky, this will erroneously slide with the last portamento'd speed, 4, to the last portamento'd note, E-3, while in all NT2 compatible replayers this does nothing (it slides to the last issued note, C-3, to be technically correct).
