I can't login using my login credentials at all, the site thinks they don't exist... the only way I can login is to use the notification email I get when I receive a private message. Please help! I like to login at work and can't access my email from work, for some reason tracking is always on my mind at work

I think what it has going on is cool.. it's like when a DAW triggers an audio editor but it can be anything.

Tracking / Re: Protrekkr 2.6.2 Win32 RECENT & 2.5 Multi-Platform 'Modernized' Noisetrekker2!!

« on: January 09, 2023, 00:15:56 »

Sorry I wasn't here for your reply...Weird times these days...I guess for me the routing of the synth not too important as i just use for 'filling gaps'...And as far as reverb I'd have to agree but all Trackers got some drawback...In Protrekkr I use more delay & less reverb usually. The cool part is the 2 303s still in there...

Here is WIP just uploaded that I had on Oldschooldaw that uses both 303s & synth-

https://soundcloud.com/waxing-and-waning/the-world-is-czars-5th-iteration



I had that up on Oldschooldaw as well as at least 1,400 Instruments i shared on there but Oldschooldaw is GONE!...DONE!...So all my uploads there are vanished...

Once I find out where to park instruments again I will notify here & elsewhere in meantime if anyone needs instruments let me know I have made well over 4,000 now...

You're right about every tracker having it's drawbacks. I should give it a spin for old times sake. I don't care about the synth routing that much anymore, I'd use it like a sample based synth most of the time anyway, and it's still good for quite a bit of sounds. Some padsynth samples and singe cycles should be pretty fun. The 303 would be a must. Favorite part of that tracker is the way it keeps sampled instruments seperate from the synth so that several synth patches can access the same sample if you want. I remember it having some really cool filter options too like ringmod and such which could be automated.

did anyone ever fix the fact that envelope 1 was hardcoded to oscillator 1 amp? that's what mostly made me quit that tracker I loved it though, it's what got me into tracking... but it drove me crazy. If you check Noisetrekker 3 it's not like that but programming it was more of a pain with the one slider. I also wasn't a huge fan of the reverb in protrekkr, but it was fine. I just had a lot of crashes back in the day, i should try it again, now I get virtally zero crashes on orangator and that one used to crash constantly so maybe windows 10 compatibility made protrekkr better too that would be awesome.

I think that's a great idea on starting the side project for your modified Milky, I can imagine there might be some purist kind of thinking that wouldn't want it straying too far from FT2. But I think what you're doing is great we need an alternative to Renoise that still feels like FT2 but doesn't run VST plugins. SunVox is great and all, and I've recently realized that my biggest gripe with it (that you can't have unused patterns that you can put off to the side while you try something new) is actually not true, I didn't realize you could just throw patterns you don't want to play to the left of the start position. So that's cool. But SunVox just doesn't have the same feel. So yes I think it's awesome and can't wait to see what you come up with.

BTW how can I get the latest build? I've be poking around in GitHub but I don't see anything. I don't have a compiler set up on this computer and not really wanting to at the moment... Are there binaries available? I would really like to try out the new features and try to write a script so I can sample my hardware from it... actually I'd like to try and see what else I can come up with as far as scripts go I've never done that kind of thing before so I'll have to learn but it will be very worth it especially I'd like to come up with scripts I can run in the sample editor for things I do often or things that would be hard to do in general... like I'd love to make a script that puts just one sample at zero amplitude at the end of a sample, for those oddball samplers that require it, like any of the sound blaster ones I have an AWE 64 gold card that I need to find a computer to stick in... if you make custom soundfonts using padsynth samples OMG the best pads I've ever made. Run through it's analog filters and then it's chorus and reverb... the absolute best. And the fact that you can layer up practically as many as you want since you have 64 channels to work with. If you use it as just a synth and don't try to make songs only in it (which you can do but I like just using it as a HW synth) it is an AMAZING piece of gear. It needs just one blank sample at the end of the sample, I've never found an efficient way of doing that, it would be amazing if I could make a script for that. Anyway I'd really like to try out the new features especially that random sample generator I think I could really make use of that and edit the hell out of them to make some cool instruments. A pointer in the right direction would be very appreciated. If I have to I'll compile it though. Have you even posted the code yet?

I sent you a little something on Gumroad, don't quit your job or anything but like I said I can make it a regular thing... I'm happy to support your work in whatever small way I can, and happy to see Milky back in active development. Maybe it can get some scene use if they are even still using trackers for not 4k stuff. I hope so I find that one of the most fascinating things about the demoscene and it's history. I saw an xbox game a year or so ago that used XM modules, that was REALLY cool, I hope to see more of that kind of thing in the future.

I bookmarked the miditracker I'll have to look into it later I have a special project I'm working on the next couple days I have a deadline.

I'm actually happy about the plugins in renoise, it provides a very convenient way to sample VST's and make multisamples... I really like Tone2 plugins and not sure I could ever really give them up, especially Nemesis.

I've been playing with SunVox the past few days a little, I completely forgot how to structure everything and having to relearn a lot of connecting up the modules and how to make them play with each other, but I really like how you can package everything up in a SunSynth and just drop it in a project later, and I really like having an FX chain pre-sampler that's one of my favorite bits about it.

MilkyTracker Feature Requests / Re: Recording samples from inside the sample editor

« on: September 02, 2022, 16:57:49 »

FT2 clone DOES run on the Raspberry PI.... If you tried compiling it for Pi a long time ago and it didn't work I got it to compile by taking one line out that didn't agree with SDL for the PI... I can't remember the specifics it was a couple years ago... I think there's a version specifically for the PI now or all versions might have that line removed I think... think it was a legacy call anyway and no longer used. Either way it for sure runs on the PI... But honestly SunVox is more appropriate I think... more efficient I believe. But try it for yourself because honestly I think that has changed I think it might run a lot better now. I'd love to get one of the newest ones I think I have the 4b+ or something, but the newest hardware seems like a significant jump up in power. I would like to get one that's impedded in the keyboard such a cool idea like a C64.... awesome!

Just wanted to say I watched the video and I really like what you are doing with it. The random sample generator is really cool and I really like the addition of the filter in the sample editor, vocoder is a great idea, the master section seems great. It all is awesome actually. Definitely please keep going, I don't know how much I have to donate at once but I'll make a donation this weekend once my bills come out of my account. Anyway I'll shoot you whatever I can this weekend. I gotta say I'm excited to see what's in store for MilkyTracker I like what you've done with it already!

PS please let me know when you want to send out a beta I'd be happy to test it.

MilkyTracker Feature Requests / Re: I know it's a big ask, but....

thanks for the info about scripts, I wasn't aware that that scripts was in Milky I'll check it out for sure on sunday, my work schedule is pretty intense until then I do a compressed workweek, more days off but there's a price for that. I actually forgot to check out the YouTube video the other day I just loaded it now I'll check it out. I think the wave editor idea is great as well, I do have a couple I really like (wavosaur is great and was my main editor until I found acoustica, but for some things it still is better so I use them both, I tend to use acoustica for larger projects with many samples because of the browser, but VST support isn't super great, might be fixed now but I have run into a lot of crashes in the past especially with things that use the hosts timing like any kind of clock so some of the coolest FSU stuff is out).

It's funny you should mention linking to wave color because that's what came to mind to me when I thought of using an existing color... I like that idea very much. While we're talking about colors, if I remember right don't the colors save in a file somewhere like a config file? or am I thinking of another tracker? When I get all the slots full I want to save them but I can always type them in to a text file, I was just going to copy/paste from a config to a text file anyway if I my memory was correct.

Man I'm getting excited I have to force myself to not look into this scripting business I have to go to sleep if I'm not careful I'll find myself working 12 hours on 2 hr sleep it happens way too often.

Can you write a script to sample from one Milky tab to another? Resampling in that way could be really fun... I better quit typing and just check out that video.

Hey thanks for the reply I really enjoyed reading it, I think we have very much in common, I'm very happy to have run into you here. I keep on forgetting about SunVox, I've bought it on every platform I could, I think I remember it being on my Palm Pilot back in the day, scratch that I think what was on PP evolved into SunVox... not sure it's been so long. Right before I took an extended break from tracking for years and years I vowed to make it my main tracker. If I hadn't bought Renoise earlier this year I bet I would have been using it for months now. I'm going to go and download it right now, I never used enough to really become comfortable with it... but it does have everything I wanted now that ADSR envelopes finally made it in after all these years, I know the sampler enverlope trick but that seemed like a lot for what usually would be simple stuff. I really need to give it some love because I think with time I could really set up modules that could save time. I agree on it being a great sound design playground... I wonder what great recording chains I could come up with heck even foley might be great in it.
I think I can see exactly where you are coming from with milky making you want to compose I see that as it's greatest strength, I haven't composed in it yet but just loading up a module I started recently in the FT2 clone made me want to, and the layout of everything just is so handy even for looking at other people's modules I really like how there's plenty of room for the sample editor and the tracking window and browser. It really does it for me, like I say especially using this TV as a monitor it sections off everything perfectly. I wish Sunvox had a similar sample editor I always hated the floating window. With a passion actually.
It's a pipe dream, but the ultimate to me would be to have Orangator (or something like it) as a part of Milky... but as a page like the instrument editor and have it render right to an instrument where you could edit and loop the samples all without leaving the tracker... man that would be great. If only I could code.
Your comment on the "synth and sampler combo" and productivity thing was exactly the whole reason I ever bought a HW synth... I found myself never getting anywhere in VST land, often I would sit down and end up on KVR looking at more plugins... there's something inherently anti-productive there for me at least. when I have a tracker running full screen and just my HW and mixer there isn't any room to dick around with anything else. Plus I find myself trying things I normally wouldn't and using the blofeld just begs to make layered sounds which I will often shy away from with plugins because of the way you often have to go about it. not just the blofeld, with any HW all you need to do is just change the MIDI channel on something and boom you have another layer. But I have to admit right now I'm not even using most of my stuff or mixer because of space issue that hopefully I'll have at least majorly improved this weekend when I finish a custom stand I'm building for my desktop units and mount this TV on the wall it should make everything much more accessible. I'm looking forward to sunvox too in a modular environment I for sure layer stuff up all you have to do is connect the dots lol it's so much more comfortable.
Damn I'm rambling again ok have a good one. I ramble on posts a lot. always have. I think I like to write. later.
