Backspace deletes what is under the cursor. Deleting the whole line (3 tracks) is not possible, because it is dangerous, as track can be used elsewhere in the song, contrary to other trackers.
Backspace does nothing for me whatsoever. It's as if it's just not working.
DEL buttons deletes but moves all rows up. INSERT can put them back down. But Backspace doesn't do anything at all. I expect it to move one row down and delete that row at the same time, but it doesn't do anything.
I checked in Config that it
is set to "Delete line".
About the transposition, I don't really understand. Select what you want to transpose and Ctrl+up/down (+shift for an octave). What do you mean by "using that other transpose thingy"?"
As for transposing certain instrument through the songs, it's a good idea and I want in a lot-no-far-release to have some kind of toolbox (like Renoise) to make such actions on the selection/track/pattern/song.
I don't want to use "Transposition -5" on C-7.
I want to change C-7 to e.g. C-6 in the actual pattern.
I can tell you what it is I'm experimenting with:
As you probably remember, I have this fetish; create multiple filetype versions of my tracks.
I want to make an XM + a MOD + MP3 + OGG + MIDI + XMF + SMAFF etc etc.
And now I'm thinking about including AKS in that process. And I'm thinking about doing it like this:
When I have the MOD version, simply load that into Arkos Tracker 2, and replace all samples with PSG instruments.
That was I don't have to start from scratch. I'll have the patterns, which will only require minor editing. I just have to replace the samples with PSG instruments.
But the octaves in the imported MOD are really high. A C-5 in the MOD becomes a C-7 in the AKS. It's not enough to just replace the instruments. They also have to be transposed about 4 octaves down to match a PSG sound.
Milkytracker has a nice feature here. I can transpose ALL instruments in the whole song any number of tones. The immediate thought is then of course to transpose in Milkytracker before import in Arkos Tracker 2 - but Arkos Tracker 2 can't figure out how to import the correct tones if I use octaves outside MOD standard. Lowest note must be C-3. Anything lower and the import is messed up.
