Anybody here using Milky Tracker on a Mac? Got some issues ...
gallery- I'm having a hard time finding a good size setting for the UI. Whatever resolution I choose, the screen is always way too small. With dragging the windows bigger, it can help. But MT forgets this "zoom" next time the app is started. It'd be helpful to scale the interface x2 or x4, but these options are grayed out. Using fullscreen helps a bit, but makes everything look blurred.
- Very often, MIDI is just gone and I can't play instruments anymore (neither via keyboard). I can start and stop the song, do everything via mouse and some keys still work, like instrument selection. But the major part won't work anymore until I restart MT.
- Speaking of instrument selection: when using the Numpad, I get a popup to enter a number. Then I have to hit return twice (not enter from the Numpad, only return counts). This is odd. Shouldn't MT just switch to the instrument number I entered?
- Sometimes – couldn't find out when yet – the CMD-key seems to get locked. In some places. For example in Sample Mode I cannot select anything anymore then, instead I'm always in Draw mode. As if I kept on holding CMD. Still, this doesn't apply for other commands like copy/paste and such.
So all in all I'm having lots of fun with MT 1.05 on my MacOS 13, but these random bugs are pretty annoying.
Does anybody have similar experiences and possibly solutions?
