I get how the tracker works, but I don't find it easy to work with at all. A simple piano roll alternate setup would be nice. Kind of like the difference between the graph editor and the tracker in the SFX.

you might be able to make one!

i'd love to see some music creation tools in pico8.

could make an 808/909 style drum machine and 303, and/or something like sfxr.

Heh, I was just looking at an (image of an) 808 today and thinking about that. Or a Tenori On. Or or or.

Of course, at the moment the challenge would be getting the output of any notional compositional tool back into a cart somehow rather than just lost to the sands of time once you quit out of the cart.

could have it save into another cart i think using load and cstore.

eg. select cart from list. select sfx slot number, press save and it'll write to that chunk of memory and cstore it.

i might have a play with this idea tonight.
