Wait a little more, friend, I'm making some tweaks to the GUI and a new default scheme. I think that in less than 24 hours DefleMask 3.8 will be on the web. :D
NEWS:
01: Standard Effect Added: 7xy Tremolo
02: Standard Effect Added: Bxx Position Jump
03: Standard Effect Added: Dxx Pattern Break
04: Added a row highlight selector and the settings are saved on config file.
05: Lastest resolution of the Window is saved on config file.
06: Copy/Cut/Paste actions now are more intuitive.
07: Default skin updated by Degen Seven.
08: Added a button to switch between the Instrument List and the Pattern Matrix.
09: Added a new texture for skins: Bar.
10: Added a new texture for skins: Arrows.
11: Added a nice transparency effect for the index sidebar.
12: Added a nice transparency for DefleMask Logo.
13: Moving a multiple selection with Insert and Backspace was not working.
14: Manual updated.
15: Corrected some bugs.
Great job! As a fan of milkytracker, famitracker and renoise I really like this. This is like a sibling to the other trackers
The whole disk opt part feels tacky. It works and all, but it feels not so great. IMO you should be able to browse your computer, instead of being locked into folders.
Having to change "system" to load songs from other systems felt weird and should change. Obviously the system type is specified inside the file, right? Because if i try to load another system's file then I get an error. It should switch to that system instead and simply load the file.
Drag n dropping files would be a very nice feature aswell. Maybe this http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/rdragdropfiles.aspx or this http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/dragdrop.aspx can help?
As for the tracker itself I can't say much as I've only played back the test tunes
I lolled at TestPCG.
Keep up the fantastic work, I will definatly use this tracker

Wow, thanks a lot!. I appreciate your comment!.

There's a reason behind being "locked" in a specific folder: portability. Coding a get directory structure will result in a per SO solution, and that is not the idea.
DefleMask is coded 100% on a portable way using pure C and Open Libraries, a Linux and a Mac OS X version will be compiled in future releases.

Auto-switching between systems is already implemented, you can open from your file explorer a file and DefleMask will auto switch to that system. However, the autoswitching is disabled when you open the file from open DMF because you cannot change the directory, so you will only find the correct system files.
At least that you intentionally grab a file from other system to the folder of another system and then you try to load it. But obviously that case is fully forced.

Both solutions are Windows only, that's logicall because there's no Cross-platform solution for drag n dropping, so I will need to code a per plataform implementation. For now this has low priority.

I was workin on a track and I thought that using the LFO control for vibrato instead of just using the 0x04 effect would be great. After some notes here and there, I figured out that the LFO control effect was not working properly.
So, DefleMask 3.8 was Re-Uploaded, with some LFO control bugs (effect 0x10) FIXED.
Also a new Work In Progress tune was added: Delek - Stain Factory, it uses the LFO control and I love how it sounds. <3
If you have already DefleMask 3.8 on your PC, you will only need to replace the exe (so in that way you don't lose your config.ini).
What if you play two notes after another. Like for example, you play a C-4 as a quarter note and then you enter C-4 as a quarter note again. It just sounds like a half note instead of 2 quarter notes. Is there any way around that? Famitracker has the hardware sweep option for this.
You have to use the standard effects, you can use retrig in order to obtain a note after another note. Those crazy effects added by Famitracker are cool, but DefleMask will only use the standard Pro Tracker effects, that are pretty cool and are enough, PLUS the custom effects of the supported systems. Check out the manual. :D
News:
01: Added DAC Control (Samples) to the YM2612.
02: Support for both 1.50 and the NEW 1.60 VGM FORMAT (The unique software so far supporting this new version of VGM, you will need the lastest in_vgm to play the tunes).
03: Removed Microsoft Redistributable C++ dependency.
04: Added a second Tick Time selector to obtain more specific tempo values.
05: NTSC/PAL value now is saved to the DMF files.
06: Now samples are selecteable on instrument list (only will play on the PCM Channel of the system however).
07: Due to a timing error, the YMU759 files size was huge. Now it is corrected, so the size of the MMFs is a lot smaller.
08: To make more clear the YMU759 Behavior, the unique ins that you can change is the very first one.
09: More optimization and some bugs corrected.
10: Resampling of imported wav files.
11: VGM writing optimization.
I gotta say, this tracker is really shaping up nicely. I came across something odd. After I import a DAC sample, after I change the sample rate, the pitch of the sample changes. Not sure if that was intentional, but it wouldn't seem likely. Also, it can benefit from sample volume and pitch adjusting options. A bit more simplistic and I can see alot more people really starting to pick this tracker up. Good job.
About the sample loading at different rates: If you change the sample rate AFTER load some samples, then the speed of those samples will change, but if you RELOAD the sample after a HZ change, those wav files will be "re-sampled" to the desired frequency. This is intentional.
It is explained in the manual, on "Main Screen" chapter.
