Oh that's cool I'll try it when I get the chance... didn't oh man I'm drawing a blank on the name I've been so dopey all day... the big competitor to FT2 back in the day... didn't that have a similar feature?

That's great that there's more interest in trackers now... I fell in love back in like 2012 or so with Protrekkr... but I haven't really been active for a while but I'm getting back into it bigtime I've been buying HW synths to sample with, exactly like you say plugin fatigue. Oddly enough though I've been using plugins more lately with renoise... it just depends what tracker I load up... I've been loving using my Roland JD-08 with the FT2 clone because the JD has a decent onboard FX section so I don't have to edit in another program (well still edit for drums). But it really is great to hear it's coming back in style it really is a better way, I hate being married to a track in something like bitwig, just being able to use instruments and tracks in such a whimsical way is reason enough to switch... people who are stuck on Ableton have no idea what it's like to set up 3 tracks with different effects and use the same instrument in all of them for different sections. It's an efficient way to go if you ask me... anyway i'm rambling now sorry.

MilkyTracker Feature Requests / I know it's a big ask, but....
« on: August 31, 2022, 09:13:45 »
I'd really like to be able to sample from my hardware straight into milky. Right now 8bitbubsy's clone gets a lot of use from me because the sampling is a feature I use all the time... don't get me wrong I'll still use both and Renoise as well, but Milky would get a lot more use from me if sampling was added. I'm not a rich man but I'd be willing to donate some money, like if this was on the horizon I could just put aside some money each paycheck... I've been giving 5 bucks a month to Vital since it was released if Milky had some kind of deal like that I'd be happy to sign up but either way I could just hit that donate button on an interval. I really like the interface on it and how you can adjust the colors of the different columns in the pattern editor... or the fact that you can have quadruple the channels on an XM if you want.. that's great. Renoise is great and all but I like the fact that Milky is available to everyone. I'd really like to see it developed, It kind of is really becoming FT3 in a way and I think that's a great thing! Just need to get sampling in there to really open it up for a more fluid workflow.

Heck, instead of making a new topic for a really minor request I'll just add it here... I would love to be able to change the color of the envelope line... it's silly but it would be cool. Or if I just haven't been able to figure it out please let me know.

Thanks for your consideration :)

MilkyTracker Feature Requests / Line Highlighting
« on: August 31, 2022, 08:57:08 »
I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature... so I figured I'd put it here. I can't seem to have Highlight 1 and 2 active at the same time... I'd really like this to be possible. I would very much appreciate it.

This is very good news! I'll check it out immediately! I haven't logged on to the mod archive in a very long time, but I came here specifically because I remembered that there was a dedicated board to MilkyTracker here. I'm so glad to see that it's still in development. I just installed it for the first time in ages and on this huge monitor I'm using (TV actually) it's interface looks AMAZING. I just spent like an hour setting the colors.... in the next month I'll fill all the preset slots for sure.

Sampling / Re: Help with PADSynth
« on: August 29, 2016, 20:01:44 »
the great thing about PADSynth is that it outputs samples... so you can use them in whatever you like. if using windows, I recommend the VST version used in any host you just need to get the program loaded and then you save the samples from the ZynAddSubFX interface

MilkyTracker Feature Requests / Re: FT3????
« on: July 08, 2015, 20:52:29 »
Saga, you know better than that, if it weren't for someone picking up where someone else left off, we wouldn't even have Renoise, or how about psycle? There have been many projects where someone has given up and someone else carried the torch and did something really awesome with it. And I have Renoise, and what comes out is still an XM, so yes, it would be really nice if someone else continued on something that actually works. I've tried a lot of the newer trackers, and I mean a lot. None of them have the same feel. SunVox is personally the best that has a replay routine. Bero's tracker is another very nice one, and it has basically done that for the IT format, I'm actually going to give it a shot under wine, I recently made the switch to Linux.

Skale is def a very cool tracker, I haven't spent enough time with it though, only thing I don't like is the way the effects are input, but maybe I'm missing a concept there that makes it more streamlined. I want to get it working on ubuntu, still learning linux tho.

I know I'm grave digging a bit here, but for making samples for Milky... Orangator is a GREAT tool!!!!!!!!!!!! Trying to recommend this synth to a FL Studio user is about impossible, but here... I might just get someone to listen. It truly is an amazing synth, I still use it, and have many others I could use. It's not the only synth I use, but for some sounds it's still my go-to. Used along side a good audio editor like Adobe Audition 3.0 (easily obtained), to just give that bit of "sheen" to the samples after they're made in Orangator, it's a formidable pair. It won't give super warm tones like some of todays analog emulations, but, it is extremely good at a lot of what I call "technical" types of sounds. For the sound the OP described (at first guess) I would go to the oscillator section and modulate the "shape" parameter.

I think it's a shame that a lot of yesterdays masterpieces are forgotten for today's mediocre works. I haven't seen a VST yet that is quite like Orangator. It's so FLEXABLE!!!!!! I have been thinking about doing a softsynth inspired by it using synthmaker. I'm using Linux now... so that might not be a possibility, but if it is then I would love to make a synth with the purpose of exporting samples for use in trackers... and I would feel like I'm giving back to a great community. I'll try to install it right now, I wish I would have saved the oscillator and envelopes I was working on before I installed Linux... but can't save everything ;p

MilkyTracker Feature Requests / FT3????
« on: June 27, 2015, 05:30:40 »
Has there been any talk of Milky being the platform to make a FT3? I know others have tried and honestly MadTracker Came the closest, but I think MilkyTracker would be the ideal starting point for a REAL FT3... or do I have to learn to code? LOL. I wish I had the talent to code a tracker, because it would already be in the works. I've tried a LOT of trackers and Milky is by farthe most FUN to use. I recently made the switch to linux or I would be also using Bero as well, if I could have a Bero Tracker with MT's interface and sample editor(also by far the best I've used on a tracker, some DSP's and it would be AMAZING).

It's not like I want a lot... 64 tracks, NNA's, Just a couple of effects like Multimode resonant filters, Delay, Reverb, Chorus, Flanger,Phaser... just the basics, hell I could do without most of the effects, the most useful would be more tracks and filters. And yes I know about renoise.... I have the demo and it's great, but just not really what I need.

There's nothing like the feeling you get when loading up a tracker in low res screen mode :)

I'm not really demanding someone start working on milky again... rather just trying to find out if there's anyone out there talking about continuing the legacy... another part of it is that it makes me a little sad knowing that such a great and influential piece of software is long dead, but people are still heavily using it, I'd hate to see FastTracker truly die. To me it's a stroke of luck that people have done the work to bring it up to speed, working on today's computers, but yet there's no forward progress... the program will just die again eventually. I guess the real reason I still don't make the switch to other, newer, more capable trackers is after the interface issues, it's the lack of a replay routine for 9/10ths of them. There's a part of me that wants to be involved in the demoscene and small video games, so I only stick to trackers that can be used in a demo.

And now I'm rambling, if you have read all of this thanks for taking the time to read my babble :)

Tracking / Re: Where to find plugins for BeRo?
« on: April 21, 2015, 08:38:26 »
Thanks for taking the time to consider my idea :)

I have found one thing in the tracker that I believe needs fixed; when trying to select a plugin from the right-click menu in the modular view, on my computer the list goes off of the screen no matter where I click. I feel like the menu function needs to be aware of the edge of the screen.

Tracking / Re: Questions About Module Formats
« on: April 18, 2015, 18:21:57 »
NJ; I think this is a good time for me to chime in with a tracker I've recently discovered (well rediscovered, I never gave it a chance when I originally found it), it's called BeRo Tracker Classic, and I've posted in this forum a couple times in the past 24 hours. I was using Milky before and wanted the features of the IT format but didn't like the trackers that support that format. This one is a breeze to use and has some of the things I suspect you are looking for in a tracker. And it's free so your parents won't have to shell out a dime. Renoise is great, but if you don't need to buy it then don't. I don't need to. And as Saga pointed out the demo might have all of what you need. Before you purchase anything try out BeRo. It supports many module formats and has high quality sound and in my opinion a very good interface even if it can't be run by keyboard fully.

Also if you wish to use protracker there IS a version for windows now (in the same way that there's a version of FT2 for win through Milky) and it is a 1:1 copy. I don't recommend it though since there are plenty of trackers that can use the .MOD format, it just doesn't make sense to me to go THAT far back in tracker time... but if you strongly feel the need to I can get you a link. I would say try BeRo though if you want to use the .IT format it's working out for me SO FAR ;)
