Wow, that looks pretty promising.

Way to go! :-) :-)

Cheers,

YAHHHHHHHHAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Damnit, that looks nice. And good to see it's WIP, the GUI still needs fixing. ;P But other than that, soo great!

Wouldn't "Protracker 5.0" be a more apt name, since Protracker 2 is very old? :-?

[System]

I'd be more impressed if they were using a decent (i.e. standard) GUI toolkit instead of that hideous gradient-infested purple-and-silver monster.

How on earth can you call it protracker if it doesn't have a badly designed custom GUI?

Next you'll be expecting every option in the sample editor to work without crashing!

Well, it just wouldn't be Protracker!

You know, Neko, I think sometimes you could express yourself in  less harsh way and still get the point across ;-)

I personally love this oldschool interface... I guess it also makes porting easier ?

But then he wouldn't be Neko, would he?

[Wilse]

I think the gui is OK too.

I'm just glad I'll soon have an "OctaMED-alike" for my pegasos.
Midi support would cap it.

Cheers guys! :pint:

This news item is so great that i almost wet my pants while reading it!

As a release for MOS i planned, it really cant be that hard to port it to AOS4 right?

Was it him that announced that he where working on a new PT clone like
one or two years ago here on amiga.org?

Suggestions? VST plugin support wouldnt be bad at all!
Effects is quite important these days to add that extra touch to your tunes...

We really need this to be ported to AOS4!

[ruben]

GUI: The GUI supports skins, so I'm sure other themes will be available. I just needed one skin for development, but I ain't no gfx artist
VST: There's no SDK for it on Amiga and plug-ins are platform depedent (mostly on Windows/Mac) so I don't know how one could implement that.

Feel free to email me your sugestions.

Oh yes: Thanks to Genesi and Phoenix for sponsoring this with a Pegasos. Cheers  :pint:

Ruben...

Looks great.  I am curious about the OS 4 version.  When will that version be available?  Will you also bring it out for Mac?
