Summary | 0000834: Disable automatic "Protracker 1/2 Mode" on MOD load | ||||
Description | Every time one opens a MOD file, the "Protracker 1/2 Mode" and "Amiga Frequency Limits" get enabled automatically unless the MOD has more than four channels, or uses panning commands or notes outside the three-octave Amiga range. I find this behavior to be annoying, and I'd like to see some sort of option that would allow one to choose if the compatibility modes are activated by default. | ||||

No, ProTracker mode is required for too many files to sound correct. I'd rather have you show me files for which it shouldn't be used but currently is, so that the heuristics can be tweaked. |
|
I've got quite a lot of modules, and for the vast majority of them, they sound exactly the same with and without ProTracker mode. Besides hard-enabling Amiga frequency limits, disabling panning commands, and allowing on-the-fly sample changes, what else does ProTracker mode do? |
|
It's all documented at https://wiki.openmpt.org/Manual:_Song_Properties#ProTracker_1.2F2_mode
So there is no reason to disable it. As you observed yourself, for any modules that cannot possibly work with ProTracker mode (such as those that have notes outside of the Amiga range), the mode is not enabled anyway. |
|
The main problem I have is that when editing MOD files, I often wish to go outside of the C-4 to B-6 frequency range, and in order to do that, I have to go manually disable the Amiga limits for every module that I want to apply such changes to. |
|
What platform, if not Amiga, do you write 4-channel modules for then? |
|
Closing. If you really want to add notes outside the Amiga range to an existing module, you only need to disable this option once, which I think is completely acceptable. |
