The E version locks up, just like the previous non-working releases, mouse pointer
frozen on screen.
The F version appears to work normally. I loaded up a couple of MODs, played them,
exited back to the desktop, no problems.
Thanks!

Yep! 0.848 worked just fine. Unpacked the archive, loaded up some mods, played them
and exited back to the desktop, all with no problems.
Thanks for all the hard work!

Meanwhile I've got some stuff to report, I hope it will be helpful.
We were talking about speed differences.
Well, the loop isn't too good/straight but I don't have any other, at the moment.
OCTALYSER (STE) - http://ym-digital.i-demo.pl/OCTA_STE.mp3
This tempo is proper. (Yes, sounds like it's too fast in some moment but it's my fault because I'm stupid and lazy, so anyway - that's exact how it goes from PC, from MilkyTracker).
HEXTRACKER 844 (my king and master) - http://ym-digital.i-demo.pl/HEX844.mp3
(don't mind the YM noise - it the emulator what generates it, it sounds much better from real ST).
As You can notice, the tempo is _slightly_ faster.
Or the samples are playing is a bit slower?
Anyway it "eats" small part of the loop.
HEXTRACKER 849a (the newest one) - http://ym-digital.i-demo.pl/HEX849error.mp3
The loop is destroyed, also seems like it's being played much faster, as a sample, btw.
All of this happens just after the song's loaded, no tinkering involved.
I noticed the "sample frequency is now 8287" but it's confusing for users to have non-compatible loops with other trackers, just after the HEX is loaded. The default setting, I mean.
Another thing that is disturbing to me, as an YM user, is a loss of quality:
this song on HEX844 works with quality of 22755 Hz.
The same song played on HEX849a stops with the same 22755 Hz quality, reporting CPU's overload.
If You need a test-material, the song is in this pack http://ym-digital.i-demo.pl/YM_DIGITAL2.zip (Alley of Stars).
I hope it's helpful.

Hmm, I wonder what the difference is.
There are two differences:
- I should set the 8363 value every time I load another MOD (before I used 9855 in the recording - that's what automatically appeared just after loading)
- I should use Hatari to test my stuff (before I used Steem).
> Second the CPU overload.

-------------------
Hmmm. Should I understand (as a humble notes-gluer, having no knowledge about frequencies and all the weird stuff) that
HEX844's quality of 22755 Hz is exactly the same what HEX849a+22341Hz is?
Greetzzzzz,

PS: A funny thing, the loop works the best in 8487, heh. On Steem anyway.
So it works perfectly well now, it would seem. I suspect, for new users it would be safer for the prog to remain in standard 'tracker' frequency after loading the MOD. I know I know, no new users of Atari trackers.But... You never know.

Still, the question remains - is the HEX844's quality of 22755 Hz exactly the same what HEX849a+22341Hz is?

I suspected the setup will work very well but I've never put it into the test.
Until last weekend.![]()

The first song in this short video - it's 520ST with the HEX!(And toy-keyboards of course).
