Hmmm, maybe 4 voices are too much ;/
The idea behind POLLY TRACKER VERSION 1.0 is quite good but in this version it's too limited for ME. |

Well, overcoming the limits was one of the beloved challenges of this computer, right? ;-) |

It sounds absolutely fucking marvellous for a construction that wasn't designed to play samples at all. Aleksi, great job! |

Allthough he probably never reads these posts, idd, a great tool, heatbeat, dah man.. never imagined 4 channel samples on such high quality would be possible.. I think the Netherworld 3 channel samples was most untill now, and those sounded not that bright. |

@nata: Maybe you should try Reflex-Tracker (http://inercia.dcc.online.pt/scene.org/parties/2002/northparty7..), it got only 2 voices, but afaik with 8-bit sampling. Shame on me that I didn't had the time to test Pollytracker yet... |

Wow. Just wow. Polly Tracker kicks my ass and hands it to me on a plate. This is seriously fucking cool.
i do kinda wish i could use 2 sid channels as well, tho (i understand #3 is used for timing) |

You mean 2 sid channels on top of the 4 digi channels? What prevents `you from doing it? Does the digi tracker use up the whole rastertime? Or would it cause distortions if you use normal sid voices on top of the digis? |

What I meant: 3 voices would be better than 4 for further effects like in Reflex-Tracker...
and what's about looping instruments for strings...? Only solution is to made a long Sample ;(
I think, first tunes will sound really bad (and wasting memory), because effects would save me make & load different articulations of the sounds
It seems that Mod2SID doesn't work ?!?
After open in SIDedit there is just a wired load-range ($3643-3B0F)... or did I understand something wrong? :)
Nevertheless, good Tracker! |

If you want to use soundlooping (for strings) you can do it yourself; find the looppoint in the sample and trigger the sample again and again in the tracker.
A bit spartan, but useable.
Edit:
Hmmm, I guess this tip only works when the looppoint is on an exact count or beat.
Silly me... :-/
