Small music-player

I am looking for a small (meaning SIZE) music player and an according editor. I don't care about the rastertime or feature limitations, just small. Any candidates which could save me from doing something on my own? Thanx in advance...

Hi, Ninjatracker has a bit over $300 byte playroutine and takes about 11-12 rasterlines max. It includes roughly all usual effects (wavetable which also handles slide/vibrato, pulsetable, filtertable) but can be little sadomasochistic to edit..

how about Sadotracker...? It is quite short and has all the common features.

Sadotracker is quite unnecessarily long compared to Ninjatracker. Playroutine is around $500 bytes I think. Though, it can achieve Hubbard/Cooksey like sounds easily :)

Thanx again, but for me the subject is closed. I contacted Jeff, got some tunes, reassembled and optimized them and now I have short music in ~$190 bytes :)

~$190 bytes - that is the same sound in all three channels?

Regarding small music players, Steve Judd had some ideas about relative intervals and other compression techniques in his C=Hacking article in the MiniGame special (issue 21). I tried a few of them in one of my VIC-20 players, but didn't manage to save very much space. I was happy to end around 600 bytes for player and data, but that chip also has fewer registers to address than the SID.
