Does it work on Windows10

Yea sure it does work on Windows10 .. it might be something unrelated to windows,
Just something about my Laptop.. I dont know.. will see..

further checks needed

but anyway .. the albalynx GUI  getting stuck is my main concern.



10 minutes later... 
It appears I just needed to install OpenAL on the laptop

like I said.. nothing serious..
Ill make a process than when openal dont work it will prompet Install OpenAL Window

I wouldn't use windows 11.   Just saying LIKE

it had nothing to do with windows 11 it simply needed openal to be installed

I sometimes go around for days with code that aint playing how it should LoL

There is an altered version of windows 11 which will allow an install on any computer. I am by any means no expert. But it gets rid of some sort of bios system check so it can run properly

My new Target is to a make like abelton Cells recorders
but along with Track Player at the same time.

Like I said, My whole projects are relying on one other.
So I dont begin from scratch.. (far from it)

Im finding that now with my emulators i write or improve something in one and then go back changing it in the others.

Im starting to find i can pull code from different parts and get going with another Quicker.   Ive even started changing the video modes and CPU. Maybe it'll turn into a multi system. Who knows.

Keep up the good work it's looking good!

Baggey

Thats the way my friend. make yourself a single library .. that you always include ..

All my projects or most begins with include MyLib/Main.bmx
and i have in this lib folder.. Sections, like String Issues.. File Issues.. and so on..
I try to build Types for Everything.

The less you need to repeat yourself the better..




The Ultimate method is to unite everything to a single concept
good programming is all about finding the right order..
and its not an easy task

Id love to be a fly on your wall and see some of that lovely code

Lol.. Ill do my best to share when time comes.

A good advice i want to tell,,
Leave as much as remarks as you can..
If for example it took you half an hour to find a bug..
Dont just fix it! leave remark where you fixed it what happened, so you wont repeat same mistake again..

Its not easy to work strict.. but that leads to success..
They should teach at school methods of coding, and not just the code syntax.
Or there should be a system that forces you to work correctly.. like an AI mentor..

Todays coding languages , uses strick and superstrict .. and some principles that makes your coding more strict..

but the truth bible of organization is the real power of the big companies.
its like their bible..
But it takes time to get there

Some fundamentals

- Its Helpful to Define Variables In Long Names.    Example:   Field DrawMidiStartXPosition:Int
- And Change functions names to accurately describe what they do

I made progress in the Midi Editor.

As much as I Don't plan to make a full music DAW It keeps getting more and more similar to a real one,
But Thats not My plan

I'm only doing what I have to do for what I try to achieve

Anway's here is the last picture

I finished my second version of Metronome.

now it may seem like no big deal..
but what is not known.. is the behind the scenes work ive put..
since all my work is connected to one other.. the metronome is actually playing midi Track that i created with my midi data editor..
and it plays A musicTool Type that I Made which was created by my Midi Sampler Tool..

Also make a perfect loop synch was not easy as it may sound
but somehow magically it works..

Im not joking when i say magically .. because there was an off synch that i solved by simply adding something that i have no idea why it helps..
but who cares..

so anyways.. this Metronome is a side product of the big project..



For now its not for dowload and also it has nothing too special that people will want it

Its just a side project that help me see if all is working fine
and will see in the future if ill add more things to this.

Ill release it in a week I assume

Incase i was not clear. It plays Drum loops

Great looking work, looking forward to your release. I keep meaning to dust the guitar of, a metronome would come in useful to help me keep time!

Intrigues me about the Midi associated work you've been doing as well. Good stuff!
