**Improvement: Switch Note Instrument Dialog no longer pops back open or crashes after closing**
Previously, closing the dialog with the X button left background watchers running — every track switch would force the dialog to

Update: I've taken the time to nuke esaruoho/ztracker_mac, take all the cmicali/ztracker and ztrackerprime content and zTracker now runs on macOS on my computer and i'm working on integrating Paketti features into it such as

Quick start: Right-click → Tools → Paketti → Pattern Editor → Fill → Randomize Delay Column Dialog or bind it to a key and start experimenting.
(reset back to grid)
Why it matters:
The delay column is one of Renoise's most powerful features for groove — every note can be shifted forward within its line by a fraction of a tick. But filling it in by hand is tedious. Now you

Standalone Randomize Delay dialog
— Quick access tool with Min/Max sliders and one-click buttons for:
Randomize Selection (just the highlighted area)
Randomize Track (entire track column)
Clear Selection / Clear Track
Fill
— The fill dialog now has a Fill Delay checkbox with Min/Max sliders. When you fill notes, they automatically get micro-timing variation. Low range (00–10) = tight but human. Full range (00–FF) = jazz drummer after three
random values across your pattern — turning rigid, grid-locked notes into something that breathes. Think of it as a humanize knob that goes from subtle groove all the way to drunken chaos.
Two ways to use it:

🎵 Cursor won't break it — Scrolling to another pattern during playback no longer confuses the loop detector.
🎵 Clean restarts — Stopping mid-loop and replaying no longer
Improvement: SBx Pattern Loop Fixes:
🎵 Works on any track now — SBx used to only work in the Master Track. Now it works on any track, any effect column, like Impulse Tracker.
🎵 Reliable at all tempos — Loops were missed at higher

Improvement: **Nudge Sequence Selection is now instant**
The previous version was slow because it was copying every single note, effect, and automation point line-by-line. Now it just moves the sequence slot references directly —
