SID Factory
Ok.. So.. I added it and called it an alpha release since it's not yet completely done and subject to fundamental changes, especially in the file format.
SID Factory 0.5 (alpha 1) |

Looks extremely nice. I especially like the per player table configurations! :)
Bug: Pressing RESTORE in the editor screen borks the interrupt and eventually crashes.
(tested in VICE + AR6) |

First touch of SF, only non-player questions:
1) JCH won't be happy if he sees SID Factory. ;) In fact, SF looks like first worthy succesor of JCH Editor.
2) I love keyboard shortcuts. At last they practical! Spiltting pattern and fiding unused (SHIFT + F) are good ideas.
3) How many sequences can be used? I've noticed that $80 value and more cannot be written into track list, but in $7F, $7E and $7D sequences I see a lot of strange numbers and symbols.
4) Can sequence $00 be used to store notes? In JCH it was strictly forbidden...
5) Keys F6 and F7 changes tune speed (right?) but their meanings wasn't described in docs.
6) Is it possible to change keyboard mode (in sequence-edit mode) so the crsr don't go to next line after I write a note? In JCH there was SHIFT + V/N and it wasn't bad thing. |

1) I'm sure Jens doesn't care...But... Now that this was kind of thrown out the door, there's no credits written at all. It's not a secret that SID Factory is VERY much inspired by JCH's superb editor. As a matter of fact the sequence format is exactly the same (talking data format here). All the code was written from scrath though, without peeking even, if that makes a difference.
2) .. ;)
3) Says so in the main menu "max number of sequences" or something like it
4) Yes.. Sequence 0 is just a sequence.
5) No.. Tune speed is changed in the speed table (read the docs ;)..) F5 and F6 changes multi speed config. F7 and F8 the current octave.
6) Hold shift while typing a note will make the cursor stay on the current line.
EDIT: Be carefull with SHIFT+s, as it doesn't look through the sequences to replace the current sequence value with cur+new split part. |

Thanks. So next things:
7) What about clearing all tables and/or patterns?
8) How to change last row in track-list ("loop") into something else ("stop" maybe?)?
EDIT
9) Is SHIFT + B (scroll play) planned/avaliable? |

I'm a total noob to JCH/Sid Factory, so how do I get to the disk menu again? :) |

@Hein: By trial and error I found out that it is SHIFT+X. |

yay! i've been playing with it for more than an hour now.
2 things that i've noticed:
1) the tie note is mapped on '=' instead of '*' as it's described in the docs (atleast in vice, didn't try this one on my c64 yet; or is this a danish vs. klingon keyboard clash? =)
2) jumping from the instrument table to the right position in the wavetable would be a great plus, just like in jch (using 'G')
i agree with sidder, shift+B would be a sexy thing to have.
now i gotta re-learn the filter table, the automatic slides from $00-$10 are a nice thing to have though =)
.. i see us going nata on you in no time .. :D |

Maybe I am blind, but I'm not able to find:
10) How to jump to the beginning of all song (JCH's "=" key)
11) How to change tune speed?
12) How to jump to first current instrument line in wave-table (JCH's "G" / "H") and how to jump to first free line in wave-table (JCH's "J")? It was VERY useful. |
