Short: a nice little tracker Author: David Olofson, 68k compile by uploader Uploader: lombi iprimus com au (Lorence Lombardo) Type: mus/edit Version: 0.1.0 Requires: FPU Architecture: m68k-amigaos [2nd upload] Fixes keyboard input issues. See the following URL for SDL requirements:- http://aminet.net/package/dev/misc/SDL-Amiga Quick start:- Whilst in the dt42 directory with sufficient stack, simply type the following:- dt42 -f tracks/demo1.dt42 Press the "H" key for help, followed by the arrow keys. DT-42 DrumToy ------------- Although one can obviously create some sort of music with DT-42, it is just a toy. I decided to improve the simplemixer SDL audio programming example a little, moving the sequencer into the audio callback context and making things a bit more robust. The string based sequencer turned out to be fun - and then I was confronted with this audio/video sync issue. So, I had this idea of throwing in some sort of GUI with scopes a very simple tracker (MOD editor) style pattern editor, and... Well, there you go - another SDL programming example that went rogue. :-D In short, DT-42 was intended as an example of interactive audio and graphics programming using SDL, but maybe it's a bit too complex. However, for someone working on some sort of music editor, DT-42 is probably as simple as it gets with all the basic vital stuff still in place. The sounds were sampled by Michael Fischer, from a real Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer. (A vintage analog drum machine.) Please see README.SOUND for details. You may get the rest of the sounds from here: http://freeware.sgi.com/fw-5.3/fw_TR808/ Or just use Google, if that doesn't work.
