NitroTracker Community / Re: Open Source!1!11!

« on: April 17, 2009, 21:17:28 »

Nope. Maxmod is an external library (maybe based on libnds, dunno), and the simple sound engine functions (soundPlayNoise, soundPlaySample, etc.) are made to be called from the ARM9 code.

Also, these two APIs have only been included in version 1.3.1.

I'm pretty sure Tob didn't use any of these functions, but he used the ARM7 macros of the previous libnds versions (lower-level, probably faster).

A sample code looks like:

Code: [Select]

SCHANNEL_TIMER(0) = SOUND_FREQ(22050);
SCHANNEL_SOURCE(0) = (uint32)sample;
SCHANNEL_LENGTH(0) = ((int)sample_end - (int)sample) >> 2;
SCHANNEL_CR(0) = SCHANNEL_ENABLE | SOUND_ONE_SHOT | SOUND_8BIT | SOUND_VOL(0x3F);
Immediately after the values are changed in the registry of channel 0, the sound starts to be played.

I think it's based on libnds, and coded for both ARM7 and ARM9 (with two separate source-codes, just like for the Sampling Keyboard). Am I right, Tob?

The Onyxmizer, I'm not sure you got it right... xtinct talked about stereo samples, not stereo conversion for mono output I think.

NitroTracker Bug Reports / Re: Max number of files in folder

Another suggestion: is this a problem of accents or special characters in the file path ?

NitroTracker Feature Requests / Re: some features to help reduce file size

« on: February 20, 2009, 00:40:36 »

Maybe you can switch to MilkyTracker and optimize your song (the "Optimize" function is really well done), but you're right, NitroTracker also needs this feature.

Can it be a file extension issue? NitroTracker filters the extensions.

If it's a problem of number of files, maybe you have really many files in your folder (I mean, more than 80).
I've never had this issue. Maybe it's because when I save a lot of versions of the same song, I erase the older ones I don't use anymore.

NitroTracker Feature Requests / Instruments and envelopes

« on: February 09, 2009, 13:39:39 »

Hi,

0xtob, is there any news about the development? What's been implemented? What's left to implement? (I mean, in the nearest future ^^)

A few things I'd like to improve about instruments:

Envelopes:
> A sustain loop for instruments' envelopes.
> A release point for instruments' envelopes:
Example: when you put a "---" on a row, the sound doesn't cut off brutally, but the envelope jumps to the release point. If there's no release point, the sound cuts off brutally ^^

General:
> The volume of a note in the pattern has to be independent from the volume of the instrument.
Example: if an instrument is played by default at volume 48, a note with volume 32 will play the instrument at volume 32 (and not at volume 48*(32/64)). Also, a note with volume 64 will play the instrument at full volume (and not at its default volume). This would avoid incompatibility issues with MilkyTracker (or any other FT2-like, I suppose).

NitroTracker Tracks & Songs / Synthesis' Songs

« on: February 09, 2009, 13:08:58 »

Here are some of my tracks:

> YouBox
This is one of the first songs I made with NT, using the microphone.

> Simple Minds
Formerly named "amenteox.xm" (Amen Techno, Optimized [for MilkyTracker -- I had to remove all useless "1" instruments created with NT 0.3 that caused a bad replay under MilkyTracker], eXtended).

> Metal Stars
A videogame remix: Turrican 2, Level 2-2.

> Little Song
This tune is the NitroTracker version of Boomshanka's tune "Little.fms" created with Achraf Cherti's QBasic tool, FM-Song. The melody is from Diddy Kong Racing.

> Passing By
One of my simplest tunes, made in one hour in GarageBand, re-made under NT using crappy piano sounds

> Last Summer
Anne Laplantine's song, remixed.

> Conpofe
A childish, funny tune composed in a few hours. This is one of my tunes I like the best (with Metal Stars).


Some YouTube videos:

NitroTracker Feature Requests / Re: Stereo sample format capability

Nitrotracker is designed to be FastTracker-II compatible, and stereo samples are not supported in .xm files.

Anyway, you can use 2 mono samples that you play at the same time, one for the left channel and one for the right channel (sample panning is supported).
