cool softsynth/303 emulator/tracker to port!

@spotUP

Thanks for the education there SpotUP I'll certainly look up milkytracker.

@spotUP

I just wrote a simple commandline program for playing .ptk files using the WinAMP plugin as reference. A TuneNet plugin should follow shortly.

@Slayer

old modules don't make use of the synths.
old mods are based on samples, it's not the amount of channels that make it slow, but all the realtime computing when computing the synth sounds.
for mod or xm files, use milkytracker.

Don't think the SAM can handle all channels playing, quite stuttery... but indeed load in any older 4 channel modules and it rocks nicely!

didn't take note of any cpu usage... will try and look again when I tinker some more...

but once into fullscreen with proper pointer active it's another world

very nice...

In real turns how does this compare to whats available for the professional these days? Someone in the family sequences for a real job and works with real artists, should I show them or wait for a real application?

He's recently become quite interested in retro sounds so supplied him with a heap of old Amiga Modules etc...

@salass00 + all

Sorry for false report. It was ScreenThumbs which caused that lock up. I have to find out what's wrong in it.

@TSK

works here.

(removed)

Do you think midi support will come later on ?

@salass00

G-R-E-A-T-!

you should post this as a phat news item on aw, here and a.org... it's a major app after all, in amiga terms anyway :)

@Kicko

Not fast, super fast

salass00 is the best

@salass00

Your so fast man. Have to test this one :D

@spotUP

I managed to speed up protrekkr by quite a lot by making protrekkr only update it's display 25 times per second instead of 100 times and changing from window mode into fullscreen mode.

Now the "303 test.ptk" uses only about ~50% CPU when playing.

I've uploaded the program and source code to OS4Depot and Aminet.

@spotUP

just for comparison, on my 900mhz eee pc the 303 test.ptk tune is using 50-60% cpu time.
so something similiar should probably be possible?

edit: devenirunpoulet.ptk is to cpu hungry for my eee.
the others play fine.

edit2: for those interested, the developer posts status updates on pouet:

@salass00

love is in the air dubudu bu dupp bupp loooove is in the air... :)

@spotUP

I have it compiled and working now:


It's extremely slow at the moment though, because it seems that something is constantly eating up almost all the CPU. I'm looking into this problem right now.

@LyleHaze

It wasnt i offered you to port the actual program. Maybe they could use the camd.library and ask you howto. But as i see your busy i take it back. ;)

Sorry for your economy problems. Have alot of friends and theirs friends that lost they job. Many of them took loans.

@Kicko

Sorry, I have too much going on right now.
Finding a job is getting near impossible, it looks like I'll be selling my house soon.

Besides, I choose my own projects. You should know that by now Kicko!

I know a lot of people want good trackers for the Amiga, I wish you success with this port.

@spotUP

Maybe he can ask lyle Hazelwood for some help with the midistuff.

Yes, interested in the software, wish I could code!
Looks good!

Rude!

@salass00

i was secretly hoping you would take it on, but i wouldn't wanna burden you with more work, kewl! let us know of the progress!

@kicko

hehe, i knew you'd reply quickly to this thread ;) salass00 is a skilled coder,, so maybe he can fix it.

btw, I edited the first post and added some info.
