Talk:FastTracker 2

message: - the way pattern editing works should be discussed in the proper general article about trackers/tracking, not in each and every tracker article.
- I tried to re-phrase some of the badly worded passages, but more work is needed
- the article should discuss, what made ft2 so influential, instead of just claiming it (read: the novelty of the *.xi format, custom DOS GUI with buttons, radio options, sliders, everything on screen at once vs. IT's screen switching etc.)
- the FT vs. IT argument should be made clearer
- FT2 has a unique command "convert sample" .. it basically unsign it to its negative, creating a very distorted sound. a lot of gabba producers used it... and at the moment (2017) it s the ONlY tracker (or DAW as far as i know) that can do it. I don't know if it should be mentioned...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by RotelloItalia (talk • contribs) 17:52, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

message: This does not mention anything about Fast Tracker 3
* Fast Tracker 3 doesn't exist - officially at least. The first app called FT3 later transformed into Skale. // Gargaj 01:06, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Is the name "Fast Tracker" or "Fasttracker" or "FastTracker" ?
* The FILE_ID.DIZ and strings/bitmaps in the exe call it "Fasttracker", the .doc file and saved .xm-s call it "FastTracker". It's never mentioned in two words. // Gargaj 01:05, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have any information about the FT2 source code? I faintly remember that it was being passed around the circuits back in the day. When I encountered FT2 for the first time -- 2.08, no less, yes I'm slow to pick up new things -- the name rang a bell because I had heard it before. It dawned on me that I'd heard about the source code, not the application. That's all I know about that. Does anyone know anything more about this? By the by, I find it absolutely mind boggling that the source hasn't been released to the public yet. --Tirolion 18:14, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
