MilkyTracker Feature Requests / RECORD funtion in Sample editor?

« on: October 17, 2007, 22:42:33 »

One of the greatest features of FTII, was it's ability to sample from the Line/Mic input of your PC.  You could hook up the turntable, or the synth, and record directly into memory, edit, and save the sounds as an XI.  Effectively making FTII a powerfull sampler, editor, sequencer.

I wonder why this very valuable feature has be left out in Milky Tracker? 

I have cool edit, and a slew of other editors.. but it greatly decreases the flow when working on a PC or Laptop, switching back and fourth.

When working on a PPC, it is even more desirable to have Record ability in the sample editor,  can't think of how many times I was at the Vinyl shop, previewing nice cuts on some WAX, with my PPC in my sidepack, just wishing that I could plug in my handy 1/8" headphone jack spliiter, and run a line to my PPC to cut some samples into Milkytracker!

how cool would that be?!!

MilkyTracker Feature Requests / Full MIDI I/O

« on: August 14, 2007, 05:06:48 »

[NOTE: Moved over from old forums  ]

I'm really interested in expanded MIDI funtion in Milky Tracker!

For nearly a decade, I have used FT2 live, on stage. And About half of the tracks in the XM's I perform live are controlling my MIDI gear.  Tweaking knobs on the midi gear and tweaking the tracks/mix of sample and midi data flowing from FT2 comprises my live sets.
Sadly, I can not yet use MILKY to properly play back these songs, or use Milky on stage with out this super fundamental functionality.

FT2's MIDI out is HORRIBLE I might add..  It lags, lacks many features of even the most basic midi output, and it oftentimes does not send proper note off's,  but along with all the other idiosyncratic behaviors of FT2, I have just gotten used to, or worked around them.

I would LOVE to find expanded MIDI features/functions in the next release of Milky Tracker!

I envision the ability to build MIDI instruments with amplitude and panning envelopes, and the ability to send track FX such as, volume, portamento, arpeggio, etc, and of course.. proper note offs, to resolve one of the major failures of FT2's MIDI out
This would turn Milky Tracker into an AMAZING live performace tool!
Milky would be on stage with me at every gig!

I dream of being able to control my ATARI ST, my C64, my NES's, my gameboy's my sk-1's, speak n spells, and all the other wild MIDI instruments in my studio.. all with my tracker.

Additional MIDI IN functions


Support to patch the incoming Pitch / Mod wheel MIDI data to instruments Tune / Vibrato LFO's etc.
Support to patch incoming MIDI CC data to Instrument volume sliders, etc...


Can I get a witness?


FULL MIDI please!

Maybe I need to make a kind donation to the author of this fine program,   

loving 0.90.60 by the way!!  WHOO HOO!!!!
