just a few questions...

It saves as .ymt format. And there is a ymt player for atari st, which is good. But since .ay / .ym / .sndh format are more common for exchanging file, is it possible to convert easily from .ymt to .ym? I though to load the ymt file into hatari, and use the .ym recorder from the emulator. Would it work or might some part be missing?

As there is no patterns list (only one long pattern), it can be tedious to type all the repetitive parts. But I can't find any copy / paste for the notes. Is it possible?

[FedePede04]

Hi
found a stupid bug it have been fixed in a newer version.
don't change skin it will crash the program

if you keep the sound speed to 50hz when there should be no problem to convert them to YM files. but you need to make a converter.
load YM files to load hatari YM files or any other AY/YM files.

in the editor remember if you want to export them to YMT you need to only use pure YM/Buzzer sounds.

there should be a read file with all the keys.
but here is it, to be on the safeside.

if you want to copy, you need to make a block and it only copy the channels there are on.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Ctrl+b begin block
Ctrl+e end block
ctrl+i insert block... only on the channels there are on.
ctrl+o over write channels with block in the channels there are on.
ctrl+d delete the block in the channels there are on
alt + '+' '´' transpose note there have the active instrument and only if the channels are on.
ctrl+shift+end set a new score end.
---------------------------------------------------
alt 1-3 turn channel a-c on off
ctrl+k insert bar

enter set active instrument to the channel.
½ get instrument from score.

Code: Select all

Score Arpeggio only works if the Instrument Arpeggio parameter is set, then is overwrite then instrument Arpeggio list
Score Arpeggio is reset if Byte 1 is Zero or Instrument Change.


Port / auto port (portamento) is the same routine they use, but Fx port has the highest priority.
to clear the Auto ports from note, set port FX u0000 /d0000

ok, thank you i'll try that!

[yerzmyey]

But since .ay / .ym / .sndh format are more common for exchanging file, is it possible to convert easily from .ymt to .ym?

...or even better is it possible to implement the exporting into AY, YM and SNDH format.

[paulwratt]

.fym format?

sorry for the late reply, i have had Man Flu
i could add export to AY/YM format that should not be a problem, but it would limit the editor to 50hz, so i can't see and advantaged with it.
and i could probably add save it as SNDH file, but it would still be a ym/ymt file just with the player add to the file.
i have released the source code for it, so it should be pretty easy, to add the music to you own programs.

i don't think that i ever will make, a native player for my format to the ST, I can't remember the program anymore and also i have been making music program most of my coding life. so i want to do something else

but i could add the about. if some need it.

Nice .

[FedePede04]

Nice .

Thx

This video is a sneak view of the next version of Project Ymer.

i wanted sample drums on the Title / high score music of Enduro Racer, so i had to add samples to my YMT format.

i have been going cold with Enduro Racer, so i probably wont have anything ready this year, instead of, i will try to get a version of Project Ymer with Samples (and the source code) ready by the end of the year.

the music in the video was something i made testing the program, i know that i not a music guy and it only took me around 20 min to do so pleas don't kill me

FedePede04, thanks for all your effort.
I did some tests (1.64) and found some bugs or problems:

- in 'Step mode' disabled channels are active
- when exporting YMT the frequencies of disabled channels are also written to ymt-file (channels just muted instead of disabled?)

maybe you can also explain the header of the YMT file (GED!).

Thanks in advance,
blastar.
