Hey, I was just about to open a wish feature for that, but instead discovered this post.
Yes I think is a bit OCD, but Tracker is born with 8 tracks, and everything is alchemically dosed to work with that layout.
Yeah, I think the additional 4 midi tracks is great as a feature request, but I think any “advanced” or “additional” thing should be toggled in case “someone” just doesn’t use it and messes with the visual workflow of the UI.
Maybe the best way is in the config page to just hide the 4 extra tracks, maybe per project, so we can produce with just the OG 8 tracks, or have those extra tracks for experimenting with other gear.
I don’t know if it’s better to “hide” the tracks or “disable” them from the project altogether, that should be discussed by the devs.
Anyway, just my two cents… hoping for some feedback from devs.
