For oldschool people that want to release XM/MOD, here a very nice Ft2 clone. (not need to run DOSBOX or win98 again)

Milky is so sweet. But as IT feared, it seems almost every XM (by me at least) steps into the 1% terrain. Hopefully the playroutine gets better with age and I will be cheering for Milky. It will definately be among the advertised and supported trackers in a project that is yet to take its final form…
sweeeet!
thanks for sharing!
been testing four of my old songs so far and didn’t encounter any compatability issues. (must be because of my simplistic, trivial and naive techno music)
anybody found a way to enable pattern follow, btw?
( i’m not speaking about the “scrolling style” option which can be altered…)
the channel mixing is pretty accurate, too (if compared to renoise )
Yes, it’s actually 99% accurate! And indeed there is still 1% to improve
here it is what I’ve found so far: noone has won: at order 04, the violins do not stop, probably because Axx and -x effects are too weak. This is also true for 3xx. Both of these problems occur only sometimes, maybe only at certain or lower speeds?
the path: look at beginning of track 07: the cymbal does not play in Milkytracker, probably because of the same problem described above. Also, the song goes mad in the ending loop.
paura del vuoto: at end of pattern order 0D, some instruments do not fade out (noteoff not working on a row which has EEx?). From order 16, the sine does not stop. Also unstopped notes for instrument 32 until order 23. Other -x problems on track 9-10 since order 25.
Milky Tracker is an absolute thing of beauty! Even has those HUGE fonts for visually impared, something I’ve been wanting for a long time. Have a friend who’s poor eyesight keeps him from tracking, can’t wait to show this to him!!
