klystrack 1.5 Is Approaching Fast!Nov 29, 2010 |

After months of busy developing (not), I have finally decided to release klystrack 1.5. In short: feature creep. iLKke also joined the dev team and I have to thank him for graphics, testing and general support (motivational kicks in the butt). I also got some very good feedback from quite a few people, even though not every request was possible to implement (thanks nonetheless).
What is new in 1.5:
- Improved editing
- Undo/redo for most actions
- The “compact” pattern display mode can be configured to display exactly the needed pattern columns
- There’s now an edit mode similar to most classic trackers (you can jam in the pattern editor without changing pattern data)
- New audio driver features
- Wavetable for sampled drums etc.
- Bitcrush effect has now optional sample rate downsampling
- Extra parameter column for volume (like in FT2)
- New commands such as setting filter resonance and restarting the instrument program from pattern data
- Improved GUI
- A lot of general laziness has been fixed, e.g. own menu items for opening a sample even in the pattern editor, keyboard control in all editors
- Editors can be switched with buttons located bottom-right
- The menu is less obscure with a new added menu button top-left
- New default theme (no more eyesore)
- Themes can now use PNG images instead of BMP
- Program icon
- Fun stuff
- VU meters and a fake spectrum analyzer (think Protracker)
- AHX/Protracker/C64 etc. retro themes
- Experimental stuff
- MIDI sync (not tested very well) and MIDI keyboard support (great for instrument editing)
