Multichannel recording always on
« on: October 20, 2008, 23:54:12 »

Hi!

The Multichannel recording checkbox on the Config.I/O page doesn't seem to actually do anything. Multichannel recording appears to be always enabled (assuming you have record enabled 2 or more tracks).

Well, that only affects non-realtime editing, doesn't it?

The only reason I wrote this silly bug report :D is that I'm in the process of learning MilkyTracker inside out and I'm trying to figure out what every control and every option on every page does. It's been quite a bit of detective work ;) Sure, it's been fun to figure out what things like "Instr. backtrace" mean, but the documentation is somewhat incomplete.

So anyway, I found this little checkbox and I can't figure out what it's doing, and it kinda bugs me, that's all  ;D

that's not correct!. milky's live-mode is quite good and you can jam on your channels pretty fast if you know the shortcuts and how patterns are handeled by the replayer..... i wish the keyboard handling would be a bit smoother though..

btw...:yesterday i found out what the little "w" button is all about... =)

Was that with or without the help of the FAQ?

8ch: Yes, I know how live recording in Milky works, though my PC keyboard chops leave a lot to be desired :D I'm a bit more adept with a real MIDI keyboard, but I don't have one a.t.m. so I mostly step-edit.

It's just that I don't notice any difference in the program's behavior whether the "Multichannel Recording" option is activated or not.

Now that I've done some more experimenting I've found that you can shift+right-click a scope to solo/unsolo recording, similar to right+left-clicking for mutes. Nice easter egg! But this should really be documented...

Just joking and pointing out that the WIP documentation covers that, if not much else. ;)

8ch: Yes!  :rolleyes:
Just to reiterate once more: I *know* how to do multichannel recording in Milky (Just record-mark a few channels, make sure Follow is on, press space if you're not in edit mode, Ctrl+enter and jam away, there's nothing to it!)  :D
As I've said a couple of times now, the only thing I don't get here is what actual function is performed by the "Multichannel Recording" option, because I really can't see the difference. Sorry if I'm getting boring now...
