FamiTracker
Since a few days, I discover your program. Thanks for that! But on my system I found two very annoying bugs...
1. I am from Germany and use a QWERTZ-Keyboard-Layout. Famitracker doesn't recognize this, so Y & Z are wrongly bound, which is of course very disturbing.
2. [b]More annoying[/b], so that I actually can't use the tracker: Often I can't play tones with my keyboard. If I add an instrument normaly everything acts normal. I even got my USB-Keyboard from m-audio working...
But if I chance, e.g., the Volume-Settings and hook the Volume-Box, I can't play notes anymore...Often a standard-windows note-sound is played, when I press a key, instead a note.
I hope you can help me, thanks anyway!
System:
- Windows XP SP2
- Core 2 Duo
- Realtek High Definition Audio
Your best bet would be to add the US Standard keyboard layout in Windows via the Regional settings in Control panel, and switch to that when you're using Famitracker. In the meantime, there's not much more to do sadly.
As for the second bug, I'm not sure I understand it fully but a similar thing happens to me. The thing is is that when you change a setting in the volume envelope, for instance, Famitracker automatically puts the focus in the text area underneath the graph to add the number that you've changed in the graph, which is why you may get Windows error sounds when trying to play notes.
I am quite sure that there is an easy way to recognize the keyboard-layout, because the other tracker I've tested don't got this problem.
Focus problem: I thought it was something else, because I always tried to bring the focus back with playing some notes on the keyboard with the mouse. But in no way I can bring the focus back (clicks, tab, ...).
Thx anyway!
PS: Is there a famitracker-chat for short questions?
i would like to bump this request. if it's too troublesome to detect the keyboard layout then at least have an option to switch the Z and Y keys. for QWERTZ users it's very annoying and using the US keyboard layout is just a workaround to a problem that should be easy to fix.

Here's a potential workaround until this gets fixed:

It's a program that, while running, lets you swap into and out of any arbitrary keyboard layout. I used it for a while to try out colemak (didn't work out!) but I can imagine it can be used for something as simple as the Y/Z problem.
