  • improved import of old tracker formats (XM and MOD);
  • new module - FMX: 5-operator Frequency Modulation synth;
  • new module - FFT frequency transformator;
  • sound engine optimization;
  • the name of the current file is now visible in the title bar of the app window;
  • module and timeline editor: "Select All" has been changed to "Select/Unselect All";
  • timeline menu: new option "Vertical mode"; +shortcut
  • timeline menu: new functions "Load" and "Save" to load/save selected patterns from/to a sunvox file;

  • module visualizer: "Phase Sync" oscilloscope option has been added; activate it to see a single waveform cycle;
  • module visualizer: new buttons "reset", "apply", "copy", "paste";
  • ADSR->Sustain: new value "Repeat" (repeat the envelope until the module is stopped);
  • ADSR->Smooth Transitions: new value "volume change" (the volume will change smoothly, but the envelope start is not smoothed);
  • Amplifier: new controller "Bipolar DC Offset";
  • Analog Generator: the "Freq2" controller has been ranamed to "Osc2" (pitch deviation of the additional oscillator);
  • Analog Generator: new controller "Osc2 volume" - additional oscillator volume;

  • MultiSynth: new option "Output port number = round-robin (cyclic)";
  • Sampler: new option "Increased frequency computation accuracy";
  • FM, SpectraVoice, Kicker, DrumSynth: clicks removal algorithm has been implemented - it is useful when the volume changes quickly or there are not enough polyphony channels;

    • 3C - copy track XX from from the pattern YY; for example, if XXYY = 0023, then the first track will be copied from the pattern named "23";
    • 3D - write a random value to track YY; min value, max value and column must be in track 0, starting from line XX; see example "pat effect 3D random value"; (columns: 0 - NN; 1 - VV; 2 - MM; 3 - CC; 4 - EE; 5 - XX; 6 - YY; 7 - XXYY);
  • corrected Mute/Solo algorithm for modules;

Awesome! Top work Nightradio.

The .xm file I emailed you a couple of weeks ago is crashing v2.0 on Android.
(It was crashing beta2 and fixed in beta3).
I've not yet tested it on v2.0 desktop.

Hello NightRadio.

On Android 12, I've been testing out the capabilities of the new FMX module. Unfortunately I've encountered a bug.
If I play a sustained sine wave (all other operators muted), I get a clean signal. But if I add any kind of phase modulation (2 operator cascade, self modulation, or feedback) there will be a periodic clicking in the audio signal. The clicking happens slower or faster depending on the frequency of the note being higher or lower.

I feel like I ran into a similar issue when I wrote C code for my own FM synthesizer but I can't remember what the problem was.

Hm, this is strange... Works fine on my Android device...
Do you have enough free RAM and space on the internal memory card?

Already reported :(
The strangest thing is that this bug does not seem to show up on desktops.
Trying to fix it now...

I can open it fine now, apologies for wasting your time. I should have checked more thoroughly before posting.

(I have 21MB and 226MB versions of the file.
The 21MB version opens fine.
The 226MB crashes SunVox, so this does point to lack of resources on my device.)

That is indeed strange. I've tried changing FMX sample rate, device sample rate and buffer size, but the clicking does not seem to change. As I said, the frequency of the note and the frequency of the clicking are related. If I play a perfect fifth harmony, the clicking will actually create kind of a polyrhythm, it's just too perfect.

The problem seems to be related to the code involved in modulation. Things that come to mind are phase accumulator inaccuracies, buffer underrun, linear interpolation wraparound. I can only hear it when there's modulation and I haven't even tested the other modulation modes yet.

Have you been able to reproduce this error?

Fortunately yes :)
This is due to incorrect conversion of variable types in modulation.
But I could not understand why it worked on desktop versions...
Anyway it is fixed in 2.0b - i will try to release it as soon as I fix another bug (WaveShaper noise) from the reports.

Nice! I can imagine it has something to do with the compiler, but it could also be related to the CPU architectures. ARMV8 and x86_64 are very different in the low level world.

Great work NightRadio! This software is so underrated! And the multi platforms support is very impressive.

Big respects.

Ok, at first I was impressed (I like 2012).

Then, I was amazed (2018??)

Now we get a *working* realtime FFT effect in the same tracker as the one with realtime pitch detection?

Beyond real!

Impossible to thank you enough Nightradio!!!

Congratulations on another stunning update. The new Delay Feedback control alone opens the world to a completely new sound-on-sound method of creating music (my preferred method). Woo!
