In version 1.03, when playing a tune, the patterns will follow in realtime the note execution and the patterns in track will be marked with an X so you can see the even the flow here. Actually if the dimension of pattern is over the screen size, it will move down/up the view automatically, but this is not achieved during te follow of motion in patterns in tracks if dimension is over the acual visualization.
Note that actually a changing of tempo with an instruction in pattern will not be emulated by real-time flow and so this will cause a wrong visualization of notes being played.

  • Insert repetition
    Insert a number of steps to repeat some many times. It is based onto 2 parameters:

    • the number of steps to achieve before repeat to the position where the command is inserted. You cannot add nested repetition commands.

Insert Pattern   Insert Repetition   Insert Transpose


In the left part of the panel there are a semaphore and a timer counter.
The timer will show actual play time of the song, while the semaphore varies according to this:
  • Red semaphore Red semaphore: not ready to play
  • Yellow semaphore Yellow semaphore: compilation is being done in background
  • Green semaphore Green semaphore: can play the tune


From version 1.03 you can add colors to the patterns and so the border of tracks cells will be filled with the same colours. This is a way for being able to visually see the song structure a lot better. Else, moving the coursor over the pattern cell will let you see the description of pattern as a tooltip.
