I am not sure how FastTracker handled this, although I used it for years but the mix of using decimal numbers in the upper right 'instrument' window and using the corresponding hex numbers in the instrument column of the pattern view is a bit irritating to me.

Also it seems odd to me that patterns start counting from 00 but the song positions start at 01. (In ProTracker they both start at 00 - while samples start at 01.)

Feel free to purge this right away as I am aware this is probably by design... And don't get me wrong, once again I think this is a great project - I just wanted to leave some feedback while I am checking it out, as I have spent a lot of time in trackers in my youth days.

True, It's a bit annoying.
Even Protracker had that (Sample numbers in the selector are decimal)
And in Fasttracker (BPM is in Decimal)
I have to think about that ...

BPM in decimal seems like a good choice to me, no one in the real world (TM) would ever express BPM in hex.

But as far as the samples go, it should at least be consistent.
