hiya, i just installed the newest build of schism on my mac osx.
so here's a few questions.

  1. what is insert? on a laptop keyboard, in f2 pattern editor? i.e. currently i can use "." to delete a note on cursor, but cannot actually do an insert. how would i find this, please?

2) is it possible to arm, and un-arm, a midi-input-channel? i'd like to be able to slap in a few notes from my korg nanopad while pattern-follow is on, then when the general pattern is playing, i'd like to be able to just toggle the midi device off.. how?

3) have muted channels ALWAYS played midi-notes? can this be toggled off, so that i could, instead of arming/unarming a mididevice, just slap myself onto track#5 which is muted and play stuff into my other sequencer, an

4) is it feasible that schismtracker would have a simple "start playback of song when midi clock START has been received via a midi input"? all that actual sync stuff is fine, sure, but just start-playback-on-start-midiclock would be wonnerful!

5) is there anyone currently using schismtracker via soundflower with a host sequencer? your experiences?

  1. There is no laptop-synonym for Insert. On my Dell Mini 9, it's Fn-Delete
  2. That could be a good idea. See #3 below, but perhaps your nanopad has a controller/button that would be better? Otherwise, I'd recommend using Ctrl-backslash as the global arm.
  3. I seem to recall IT generating MIDI events for muted channels. Can anyone verify?
  4. Is song/pattern midi trigger enabled? (Ctrl-Z)
