A new 1-bit music tracker - 1tracker

05 05 12 - 02:53

A new tracker that allows to make 1-bit ZX Spectrum music on modern PCs was released recently. It is an experimental universal cross platform open source tracker that potentially could support many chiptune music formats through external plug-ins.

So far five engines are supported, all of them weren't previously available in easy-to-use form: Huby, Octode, the Lyndon Sharp's 2 channel engine, the Tim Follin's 3 channel engine, ZX-10.

This is wonderful! I got 1tracker to compile in linux. I want to try and add support for the Electric Duet Apple II engine. Is there any mailing list or irc channel that would be good to hang out in?

Cool ! This is a great idea to try to bring Electric Duet on 1Tracker. There is a topic about it on WoS : http://www.worldofspectrum.org/forums/showthread.php?t=38988

There is no mailing list or an irc channel. The idea is cool, however, I’m afraid it will be difficult to implement, since the tracker only provides potential support the platforms/formats supported by the GME, and it does not support Apple II. To my knowledge, there is no emulator music format for Apple II at all.

really great program, but it keeps shutting down on me when i try to do too much at once :( anyway to fix this?

I’m trying to get it building under Linux, but the makefile keeps throwing up errors about angelscript… gah.

And when using the Windows build in Wine, it keeps crashing, exactly how Garrett describes [so it mightn’t be Wine’s fault].

Still, pretty neat.

null1024: You need to compile the angelscript library separately. 1tracker includes a precompiled .dll but not .a/.so. file
