Fast Tracker 2.09 beta
category: general [glöplog]
During my DOS times I only used 2.06 version, still branded Triton. Then I realized that 2.08 already branded as starbreeze.com is the latest available.
I was wondering if that is true to discover stories about 2.09 beta that leaked and most likely was cancelled. Now I consider it as abandonware for sure and only for the sake of preservation did anybody see that version in action.. I doubt it can have a downloadable status these days so I by default mark it 'lost'.. still I wonder if that version really was anyhow available to any, even limited audience here?

FT2.09 has been leaked out.
A development version of FT2.09 has apparently been leaked from one of our beta-testers. It contains most of the planned features/fixes except from proper GUS-IW support. (It doesn't work on GUS PnP Pro, and there are some memory issues.) Since every tracker-site already have it for download, we figured we could add it to our download page too.

I'm making an updated version of FT2 for MS-DOS, having fixed a ton of bugs.
It's based on the FT2.09 code.
Download: https://16-bits.org/other.php
Here's a list of the changes from 2.09 so far:
Changes in v2.10:
Removed broken GUS InterWave support, fixes GUS problems
Scrollbars are now less frustrating to use
Waveform polarity was wrong on scopes and in Smp. Ed.
Max audio mixing rate was changed from 44000 to 44100
Channel numbers now start at 1 instead of 0
WAV loader has been improved and now supports weird files
Sample rate tuning (WAV playback freq.) when loading .wav
Changed default sample test play note from C-5 to C-4
Right mouse button = clear pattern mark
The scopes now show their number even while muted
Updated (and corrected some parts of) the help text
Bugfixes to prevent crashes:
"Cut Pattern" on pattern lengths of 256/$100 (v2.09)
"Morph Sample" could crash FT2 in some cases
Editing empty patterns with lengths above 204/$0CC
Using XM effect E7x (x >= 4) would freeze FT2 on notes
General bugfixes:
Improper Bxx (position jump) use would mess up the GUI
Disk Op: .wav files were accidentally listed in module mode
WAV loader now safely rejects non-supported files
Properly clamp instrument data on load (prevent GUI mess)
"Save Range" didn't support .wav mode
Replen should never be set to below 2 when saving as .mod
Use register $41 instead of $42 to set output rate on SB16
You can now rename FT2.EXE and it will still run properly
Fixed bugs with keyboard pattern marking
Pattern mark. wasn't clamped when adding/removing chans
"Song repeat start" is now cleared during song zapping
Nibbles grid was wrongly rendered
Changes in v2.10a:
Two small general bugs fixed
List WAV files in module mode again (I see why now)
Reject loading of WAV files in module mode
Refresh the Disk Op. directory after writing song to WAV
Fixed some critical bugs with save/load on track/pattern
Changes in v2.10b:
SB/SB Pro: Fixed an error in audio rate calculation on some rates (f.ex. 22050Hz stereo or 44100Hz mono)
Changed some of the default audio settings
Changes in v2.10c:
.MOD/.S3M/.STM import is now improved and bugfixed
Improved and bugfixed the .MOD saver
Fixed a really old bug with uninitialized values in the sample headers while saving .XMs
Fixed sample rates being slighly off when importing .STMs
Added some missing keybindings to the help text
Removed some unneeded code
Removed unused graphics, making the .EXE almost 100kB smaller
Changes in v2.11:
Fixed a bug from FT2.10c where setting a sample's loop to "pingpong" would crash the program if "Replen." was zero
XFade didn't work correctly on 16-bit pingpong samples and could crash the program
Stereo samples from loaded XMs/XIs will no longer be unplayable (but will still only contain the left channel data)
.MOD/.S3M/.STM import is yet again improved and bugfixed. Certain 15-sample MOD files may still load incorrectly though
Prevent system lock-up when loading very specific S3M files
Up/down pushbutton delay has been increased to prevent accidentally skipping too much
Fixed a bug with the sampling position line (Smp. Ed.) after a non-looping sample has been played
Inserting a key-off in edit mode where "Add." is 0 would cause it to not be displayed until you move the row up/down
44100Hz is now the default mixing frequency
The default amp is now 10x (doesn't affect GUS)
SB16: Setting the mixing frequency to 44100Hz now gives a true frequency of 45454Hz instead of 41666Hz
SB Pro/SB16: Added a config switch to not allow FT2 to modify the SB mixer volumes. Handy for laptops with digital volume controls, where FT2 would reset vol. to 100% at times
More small changes not worth of a mention
Fix sample loop corruption when loading very specific .MOD files (f.ex. "FARLAND.MOD" - this is a bug I introduced myself, doesn't exist before FT2.11)
Changes in v2.12:
Because of a bug in FT2, pattern loop commands will manipulate the row the next pattern will begin at (should be 0). However, this can overflow the number of rows (length) for that pattern and cause out-of-bounds reads. Set to row 0 in this case.
Since multiple changes were added to 2.11 after release, I decided to bump up the version number to 2.12 so that people see it's time to update from 2.11
