I added a lot of old stuff to the repo from ages past – the "old" cvs history from before the directory restructuring, and also merged in the sources to the old tarballs from before Schism Tracker was even tracked in a source control system. The old code has been added under branches "mesozoic" and "paleozoic", respectively. I also merged the first CVS commit with the old tarballs, but it's impossible to do the same with the schism/schism2 cvs transition since that would involve rebasing the entire repository and changing thousands of changesets.

What all that means is anyone tracking hg will now end up with a spare head for all the old stuff; don't be alarmed :)

Hi:

If a song changes speed/tempo (the Axxx Txxx commands),
then samples/instruments lose their volume, and or,
disappear completely.

I suspect that MODPLUG is where the bug is, because
other apps that use "modplug" do the same thing.

Could you please look into this for me, since I am
forced to use WinXP, and I have a whole mess of my
own drum tracks that rely on Impulse Tracker.

Most of my songs change speed/tempo a lot. Without a
bugfix, my future in music is dead.

I am trying to put together an album, and have been
delayed for the last 9 months because I don't have a
working version of Impulse Tracker. I paid for it, but
now I can't use the sequencer.

Please Reply, and Thanks for your consideration ;-)

Have any examples? I can't replicate this at all.

I'll try and bring an *.it mod that does this by Friday.

Thanks:
Shane.

Hello again:

Ok... Here's a backing track to one of my own songs.
Could someone please tell me why it does what I said
it does in Message 938? Notice that as you pass each
speed/tempo change, that samples/instruments drop in
volume or dissappear completely (eventually).

Thanks:
Shane.

There's nothing at all wrong with Schism Tracker's playback here. Your song is cutting the volume in a number of places, uses a bunch of Z00 filters, and has at least one channel muted.

Thanks Ashli.

I'll do what I can to correct this.

I noted that when I play some of my other mods,
that they play just fine, provided that I don't
change the speed/tempo...

Feedback was/is always appreciated. :-)

Take care:
Shane.

P.S. Schism Tracker really RULES! :-)

Well, if you do come across a scenario where something is being played incorrectly, try to reproduce it in a small test-file (i.e. not a full length song) and I'll look into it.

As for the filters, here's a Zxx-stripped version. Were you maybe using IT with non-filtered mixing or non-MMX drivers?

Thanks!

and then I don't attach the file.

Thanks Ashli:

I stripped out all the Z00 commands by hand.
That was the source of my grief. Now the
MOD plays the way it was intended. Hooray!

I forgot that they were even in there.
I was using them as a memory aid (hard to explain).
I don't even use the midi portion of IT mods....

I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP/INSIGHT, THANKS! :-)
SCHISM TRACKER ABSOLUTELY RULES!!!!

Shane.

Hello:

Thanks for taking the time to strip out all those
Zxx commands.

Did you make a routine to do that?

I have 15yrs of my own mod work.
Schism Tracker has allowed me to "revive" them.

Thanks a million! :-)

Have a great one.

Shane.
