Neetrk/Neetsynth windows/linux tracker with soft-synth

category: music [glöplog]
 
For a project I'm currently working on I needed ... well ... music.
As I was too lazy to start again with e.g. Logic and use FR's V2 I decided to code my own synthesizer (suitable for 64k demos).
The only thing missing now was a way to create tracks for my synth, so neetrk was born.
Neetrk is an ASCII mode, Java MOD-style tracker with a native (C) soft-synth backend (Neetsynth).

Neetrk is currently still beta (but already good usable), but it will be finished until June this year. The final version will also include static libraries and an export feature to use the songs in 64k demos. (Currently you can only export to .wav)

Download: neetrk v0.86

Neat.

Why not add it to the DB as a tool?

I will add it as soon as it is v1.00 :) ... small update:

neetrk_0_90.zip

Changes:

  • fixed pattern paste bug (missing loop exit check)
  • added parameter for starting screen
  • fixed bug in C64 noise function (it now uses the correct speed, so you have to transpose your NOISE_64 OSC's down by 3 octaves)
  • fixed display bug when direct pattern number editing
  • fixed bug in Pattern FX mapping (0x0c <-> 0x0a)
  • implemented some missing track effects (set speed is still missing)
  • added 'ghost view' for previous and next pattern in pattern editor
  • enabled link/follow mode by default
  • fixed bug in neetrk home directory parsing
  • added program name display in track mixer

do neetrk supports import/export to txt-based tracker formats? (like used on VortexTracker, or ModPlugTracker clipboard?) - this is really needed, since i like to edit music on a text editor, or generate tunes from scripts
Ah, I like the sounds (downloading now). I like the idea of a modulations list, too. Then it's more like a modular synth than anything. The Microkorg synth has something similar (four virtual patch cables).

About .txt import/export ... this is doable :) I'll have a look, but can't tell when it's gonna be finished.
About QUERTZ, you can switch keyboard layouts in the config (F7), currently QWERTZ, QWERTY, AZERTY and Neo are supported but I can add more on demand :)
There are still some modulation sources/destinations missing ... hopefully I can release a RC version this weekend :D
