I've just gotten an Amiga emulator, and it's fucking awesome. I had an idea, that i would try and create some music on it, for fun. Anyone have any idea what tracker i should use? The emulator emulates ALL kinds of Amiga, so i'm open for all sugestions. Protracker is an option, but i just have a feeling theres something else out there. Also, i'd like to open for the discussion, if there is anything to gain from making music on the amiga, since it is sample based (contrary to the C64 and nintendo, but it just seems like everybody is doing that now!) I personally love old Amiga soundtracks, but i just have feeling that i love them because they are extremely well composed, more than because of the sound of the damn thing. Discuss and suggest!!! |

I've tried various trackers and most of them suck complete ass. Modplug tracker is really good/simple/intuitive/free compared to them. I mean, get this, if you right click you can copy and paste stuff. Good luck figuring out how to do such a simple task, let alone any other, in ass tracker or whatever its called if you can even make sense of what you see because they use some black background that sucks. Oh yeah and they forgot to code the arrow keys into the program. I mean pressing up and down etc probably isn't useful in navigating the pattern data so why bother? |

I tried that ModPlug program, and it apparently can do more than just modplug trackers? (it seems to be able to use other tracker formats as well). The problem for me is the inability to record polyphonically. I was messing around playing this cool little chord progression thing on the QWERTY keys (my midi keyboard stopped working), but I can only record it one key at a time which sucks for a person like me who writes melodies quickly and plays them quicker. I can't really force myself to figure out how to record something in monophony, it's just too painful/frustrating. |

Listen to me because I love Turrican II soundtrack! :) But it really is the best tracker on the Amiga even Legowelt uses it on his Amiga 1200. |

I always choose IT (impulse tracker) format when using modplug. I never record melodies like that and just tediously enter them. But you can record in multiple channels if you want. Do this: shift-click on about 4 or so channels (at the top), make sure 'follow song' box is checked, then press F7 to play the current pattern or F6 to play all patterns you have in a row. Now when you press 3 simultaneous keys it will record them all together as one chord, etc. |

protracker! and the non-intuitive interface is just charming. when you get to know it you can do stuff more easily then in any other sequencer. total control. |
