Languages:

Trilo Tracker, an SCC/PSG tracker developed by TriloByte has been updated with several new features and bug fixes:

  • Added support for SCC+ Flash FPGS PSG on port #33 (in the configuration under 'F10' button).
  • Added BCy to enable Waveform 16-31 (BBy supports 1-15)
  • Added Delayed note cut effect command (ECy).
  • Added Note link effect command (E50). New note is played without restarting instrument macro.
  • Added Chip-set information in the TMU header for later support in other TT versions (like TTFM).
  • Added INS and DEL keys for the instrument macro editor.
  • Added Performance update on the order sequence update while playing song.
  • Removed copy behavior when no selection is made. Now nothing is placed in clipboard.
  • Fixed UI bug in the instrument editor where instrument got garbage-ed.
  • Fixed PSG Envelope bug. The envelope was re-triggered every isr.
  • Fixed a bug in Axy command. On each A00 the slide timer was reset.
  • Fixed UI bug. Using CTRL+W it was impossible to set waveform higher than 15.
  • Fixed issue where is was impossible to save on a empty disk image.
  • Fixed UI bug. Order display was not always updated (when switching screens).

More information can be found on the TriloTracker Wiki.

This is excellent news. The already top-notch PSG+SCC tracker for MSX gets even closer to perfection. Many kudos and thanks to the TriloByte folks for this great piece of software. Big smile

I have MODULON(Slot Expander) on Cartridge slot 2 (Yamaha MSX2) and SCC cartridge on expanded slot (2-0) and the software dont see any SCC cartridge connected. that means trilobyte tracker just work fine with SCC cartridge on Primary slot 1 or 2?

Thanks.

Any plans of doing a version for fm-pac + music module ? Would be nice to have something more advanced than moonblaster

It should support subslots. What kind of SCC cartridge do you use?

Strange. That isn't changed in the code. I can only test on openMSX for now. and there it still works.
Anyone else experiencing this? (IIRC 1chip doesn't support blink mode)

It does, but the original firmware has a blink mode bug.

I do not think that the blink can be the problem: the other toggles are ok.
The blink of screen0 was fixed from ocm-pld v2.2b by caro.
With the blueMSX there is the same issue.

Also the openMSX has the same issue...

Amazing piece of software guys... Arguably the most advanced tracker on an 8-bit (and perhaps also 16-bit) platform? (Though I hardly know all of them, but TriloTracker seems to pack so much quality in a single 48K executable.. Relatively speaking (+ considering the platform), it's quite advanced anyway I reckon.. Smile)

Ever thought about a PC (Linux/MacOS/Windows) version? (A totally different beast of course, but who knows..? Smile) (TriloTracker VST(i) perhaps Wink)

Can't that be taken/copied from existing sources?

Glad you like it. Wink
TT first started as a PC tool. I intended to used the sources from the emulators. I couldn't get any, useful, support on getting it working so I decided to move to real MSX after a couple of weeks.

That's quite an interesting fact, and quite the decision/move you made Smile
You couldn't get useful support you say, you mean they were (somewhat) reluctant to help you out? Evil
(Well, result is MSX got an awesome tool anyway.. Wink)

Any chance, if you feel like it, you are willing to look at the possibility(ies) again (in the future)?
Perhaps a MSX chip VSTi would (could) be very cool. Perhaps you're familiar with or heard of 4klang? I've never worked with it, but what I understand of it, is that it's a VSTi that you can put in 'record' mode, and creates something (for the replayer) based on the MIDI notes you feed it. (So I guess/reckon you can use any DAW with it.) (Which would/could also be (very) cool for MSX music creation of course ;))

Just thinking out loud here..! ;)

Anyway, cheers! (where's that penguin + beer icon..? ;)) (Penguin Adventure? ;))

@Ren: As I was just in the starting phase of my project it was hard to get any help on including the sound emulation. I tried but got a lot of reply like 'it should work' and 'just look at the code' etc. Not very motivating.

Moving now to a PC/MAC based tracker would make TT, as it is now, obsolete. I'd rather finish up what I have now and move on to other projects (games). If anyone else want to make some sort of TT like implementation I will support it fully in the entire proces.

Ah cool, I certainly understand your reasoning + time/resources are limited of course.. Smile Cool anyway you're pronouncing your support if someone wants to give a project like that a shot.. Wink
With moving on to other projects you're meaning getting back to Core Crisis, MOAM, D.A.R.C.? Cool

would be great having .vgm (k053649+ay38910) support, or at least, some converters that would help (perhaps i might help there, i tried to start something about converting k053649+ay38910 .vgm to .mod or .s3m (i think i shared something at vgmrips forum years ago?), but the results are still way unsatisfactory )
