about MED i don't think that is implemented loading this modules.
I think "Reset Config" reset the config as it was set when running for the first time (default configs).
Load config as you say, reload an FT2.cfg saved before in main directory.

Anyway i have a new version with MIDI in working (at least on Linux Hosted...the only way i could test at the moment, as my 8800gts gfx card died recently and the other cards are AMD and not supported at boot).
If someone have a MIDI instrument and want to test and report here, i will be gratefull.
I think this version probably only work on Linux Hosted (where i tested and is working).

To test the MIDI IN functionality run FT2 and go to config, check on MIDI page that at least some device is detected and working.
Next load a song or some samples and then select a sample in the list on the up-right and then click on the editor where there are the colums, (press TAB if you want to switch columns) Now pressing "Space" activate insert mode,next go to the MIDI instrument and press some keys, in the colunm selected you could see that some number are written (they are the note) .
In this way if you have music notations you could use your instrument to compose a song.

I’ve found that “Load Config” works as expected; essentially, it’s a sort of reset that restores the initial values. If you try changing any options and then click “Load Config”, it will undo the changes you’ve made.

Italiano

Ho scoperto che “Load Config" funziona regolarmente, in pratica e una sorta di Reset dei cambiamenti che ripristina i valori iniziali, se provi a modificare qualche opzione e clicchi su “Load Config" toglierà le modifiche fatte.

No, that’s not a problem; on AROS One, I’ll create the usual preferences folder where users can choose from the available configurations.

MED modules (OctaMED) aren’t supported at the moment – will they be supported in the future?

Well maybe you have reason about it...but the original program work the same under Linux...it load a config file present in the current directory, without open any requester.
I see if we could add a file requester for opening a config file (as a backup) saved in another directory.
Anyway my next step...would be adding MIDI in (the only mode implemented in this clone) via CAMD driver.

OK thank you, Guru fixed. Question: shouldn't “Load Config” open a window request asking you to choose a configuration? Otherwise, what's the point of it!

@AMIGASYSTEM
Thanks a lot for testing and report.
I have asked my master coder (A.I. Wink ) and it found the issue.
Attached is the new version, please test and if all is good (as it seem for me) i update the package.

I tested the new version v2.19 and encountered an issue (Guru) when using ‘Reset Config’ and ‘Load Config’, the Guru also appears in the previous version.

Just uploaded a new version of FT2-Clone for AROS x86_64 v11 (as of today is version 2.19).
Is compiled with latest SDL2 and with the help of @deadwood and @Deremon is working really nicely.

FastTracker II Clone is a high quality music tracker program, that can play XM,
MOD and S3M music files.
It include also an editor for composing songs, load and edit samples and can
export song into a WAV file.
You can also play the game (Nibble) during music reproduction.

Download here https://archives.arosworld.org/?function=showfile&file=audio/tracker/ft2clone.x86_64-aros-v11.zip

With the Big help of A.I. now i've been able to implement/fix some bugs and
missing features. Now it can scale
with various factors (Auto Fit & x1 are the same), now x2 and others works, and
also fullscreen
(selectable via config menu or using Alt+Enter ).
For this scaling to work we need to close and reopen the program.
Sorry for this but at moment scaling works fine only in this mode, instead
fullscreen could be used live.
When you use scale factor more than x1 please enable "pixel filter" option under
"video settings" to have a
more readable interface.
Also thank to retrofaza (that get me the code for this) i added the possibility
to load songs via def_icon.

Please test and report if you find other bugs.

You loose ability do display graphics during boot of system. This has two implications: early boot menu does not work and if there is an error during boot, it won't be displayed (with a requester), instead AROS will just crash.

OK thanks for looking at it.
I tested (with keycode2rawkey-alt.table ) and it worked fine (at least for the key used with FT2)

For those that want to try...
before running Aros Hosted
comment in.../myrepo/alt-abiv0-linux-i386/bin/linux-i386/AROS/Arch/linux/AROSBoostrap.conf
the line
module Devs/Drivers/x11gfx.hidd
with
#module Devs/Drivers/x11gfx.hidd
so it will be disable and you can re-enable when you need it.

and next run Aros as usual with ./Arch/linux/AROSBootstrap in a shell
Next go to
Devs/Monitors and change the tooltype of the X11 icon like described by Deadwood.
In my case i typed inside the path DEVS:Keymaps/X11/keycode2rawkey-alt.table
Exit from AROS and re-run it to have the -alt keycode table enabled.

What i ask is...we need to disable the module x11gfx.hidd there are something that we could loose disabling this module?

Ok, I looked into the source and sitution is abit more complex. The custome .table file is only loaded if you start the driver as "Monitor" not as "Kickstart driver" (default). To do so, edit the AROS/boot/AROSBootstrap.conf and remove the line "module Devs/Drivers/x11gfx.hidd". Then the default custom .table file will load. If you want to load any of the other two files, change the tooltype on X11 icon (see screenshot). The path in tooltype needs to be absolute path: DEVS:Keymaps/X11/....

Sorry for late reply, i was busy on the weekend, anyway i tested selecting other -alt table files, but nothing changed i found on archive this https://archives.aros-exec.org/?function=showfile&file=driver/input/keycode2rawkey.zip
the table itself didn't change the keys recognised...bit inside it says:

Quote

If you are building AROS from source code you can create
that table by yourself, by "make change-x11keymaptable".
This starts a tool which interactively queries your keyboard.

I try this but this utility is no more on aros source i think.

@AMIGASYSTEM
Thanks for the icons.

@Farox - On the 32bit version i found that i maybe need to review the code that select the audio buffer...if you try to select a medium buffer you can't...only small and large are selectable.


Ok, so maybe I'm wrong and this is not a 64-bit specific issues, but rather a general buffer overrun that corrupts memory on any architecture?

Also i found an issue with the scancode of the keys that is different from Hosted and Aros one.
I spotted that when i selected "Instrument editor" and playing some note, on Aros One (where i tested on real hardware) the keys of italian keyboard are fully recognised (they are ì è + à ù) but on Hosted (where i setted the same prefs )
Italian keyboard
timezone
i have not specified a predefined charset
they are not recognised, and don't generate a scankey.


Yes, I believe I saw somewhere mentions of issues with keyboards between X11 and AROS. In the Devs/Keymaps/X11 you have 3 files. Possibly renaming any of the -alt files to the first file name will solve that issue.

Now that i quit the program...i have a crash...



Crashing in tslf_freevec is another symptom of memory corruction. I'd bet it's the same thing I notice, but simply in different place. Unfortunatelly these memory corruptions will manifest differently on different setups.
