Help and Questions / Re: Using AmpleSound VSTs

Last post by Cartman1337 - May 03, 2024, 15:47:51

The manual goes into a bit more detail on page 8: https://www.amplesound.net/en/Main_Panel_Manual-AMH.pdf

Keyswitch is D#-1. When D#-1 is before a note, subsequent note will be Slide In. When D#-1 is
during a note, Slide Out is triggered whose velocity is determined by D#-1. Articulation will
revert to Sustain when note end

D#-1 is most likely D#0 in OpenMPT.

You enter those notes like you would enter any other notes in the pattern. There is nothing special about them, the only special thing is what the plugin makes out of them.

If anyone can be helped by this, I finally figured it out by dragging a MIDI from the instrument over to OpenMPT, something I didn't realize was possible before I saw someone do it in a YouTube tutorial. The correct octave for the instrument to trigger with OpenMPT is 2, so a D#-1, D#0 or D#1 did nothing, but D#2 does. Kind of makes sense, I suppose, since the instrument only plays from C3 to B7 (I think), but now I can finally put it to some better use!

In the mean time, during all my trying and failing, I've also learned some new tricks with macros, which will also come in handy going forward.

Any update on how you've come along since Illfigure? Would love to hear.

I've been obsessed with this one, if only I knew why...

Such a great minimalist track.

That was very much not what i was talking about at all. And yes i have tried to help too, entirely besides the point i was making. Using a strawman there.

Don't agree at all will your comments about this forum, if someone has a problem or a question they are usually helped pretty quickly.

I think if you only look for the negative, that's all your going to find. Lighten up a bit.

Don't know if it's boredom, low testosterone, melancholy, flouride, depression, too much gaming, smart phone fascination, AI madness or just extremely short attention spans that are common nowadays...

I think it is likely that people want solitude, since that is my personal reason for cutting myself off from communities... especially since some communities have malicious bad actors in charge of things, such as these forums.

And yes, please make communities wherever you want, fork ompt and add whatever you want to it. The people in charge here have giant heads and are unable to see past their massive egos. Ompt needs to be freed from their totalitarian grasp.

Help and Questions / Re: Pattern Break (DXX) values...

Last post by Saga Musix - April 27, 2024, 21:44:09

The best way you can avoid this problem is by making sure it's impossible for OpenMPT (or other software with similar heuristics) to assume that the module was made with NoiseTracker by using effect commands not supported by NoiseTracker; in that case ProTracker effect interpretation will always come into play. The easiest way is to simply have a tempo command in the first pattern: Even if you use the default 125 BPM tempo, just put an F7D effect in the first pattern next to the F06 and the module will no longer be assumed to be a NoiseTracker module (as NoiseTracker didn't support the tempo command).

Good to know! I think from that and after some experimenting, I just have to make sure that I don't re-open and re-save a song with a DXX value until that fix. Looking forward to the next version then!

This was caused by an overzealous detection of NoiseTracker modules and is already fixed for the next OpenMPT update: https://bugs.openmpt.org/view.php?id=1765

The correct value is saved in the file, but it is ignored when loading it.

Help and Questions / Pattern Break (DXX) values res...

Last post by TipTopTomCat - April 27, 2024, 20:43:35

For some reason, I can't get this pattern break command (DXX) to be anything other than D00 in some tracks. For example, I can't get it to stay as D02 when I save, close it, and reopen it, it always reverts back to D00. It's not consistent when/where it happens: with some files it's fine, other times it only works when I do something weird like two DXX commands on the same line, then one of them stays and the other changes back to D00 next time. Not sure what causes this in the end

Attached is an example .mod with the issue in question. Pattern 1 has a DXX command that I can't get to save as anything other than D00.
