Oh man. Huge flashback to downloading FastTracker 2 back in '93, excitedly hitting "play" on e.g. Chillzone.xm by Norfair (edit, actually that tune wasn't released yet in '93, but there were so many great tunes) and seeing 32 waveforms going at the same time, sending amazing sounds through the Pro Audio Spectrum 16 I had gently installed in my ZEOS 486 DX/2 66 MHz.
Amazing to see it all there in JS today...wow. Thanks for sharing the article.
(Wait...where is Nibbles?)
- onyxraven 11y agoMakes me wonder if ScreamTracker3 is doable too.
- themodelplumber 11y agoI always wished I knew how to work ST3. I ended up instead mailing away for a copy of Modedit shortly before the really user-friendly FT2 was released.
- a1k0n 11y agoOf course it is. It's actually a lot easier, as there are no envelopes and just one sample per instrument. Firehawk/TDA wrote this excellent player a while back: http://mod.haxor.fi/Purple_Motion/2nd_pm.s3m http://mod.haxor.fi/Purple_Motion/2nd_pm.s3m
- camperman 11y agoDamn, that playback is as good as I used to get on the old GUS.
- a1k0n 11y agoHmm, I appear to have a sample loading overflow bug somewhere... http://www.a1k0n.net/code/jsxm/#nf-chill.xm http://www.a1k0n.net/code/jsxm/#nf-chill.xm Edit: pushed a fix... something is goofy with the sample data in instrument 4.
- themodelplumber 11y agoWhoaaa! Thanks, worked great here. That is terrific to see it running like that. :)
