rdefabri Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Since I've been experimenting with RMT (and loving it), it's time to peel away the onion and get deeper into the tracking / chiptune thing. I've always been a "sound" guy - I play music, own synths, etc and often thought POKEY could be flexed more than it was (and we see this is now true). Just downloaded MPT, which I believe allows native A8 track development. I also wanted to play around with NeoTracker, but I can't seem to find it. Does NeoTracker run natively on the A8 / XL / XE platforms? Would like to give it a try - any help is appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mono Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 http://atarionline.pl/v01/index.php?ct=utils&sub=3.%20Muzyka&tg=NeoTracker#NeoTracker Try version 1.8. First of all try installer INS18.COM and configure XRAM banks and output device (POKEY/COVOX). It'll make NEO.COM you need to run tracker.

snicklin Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 try enotracker: https://github.com/epi/enotracker/releases Thank you! Is there any documentation on how to use this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voy Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Load your music via cmd.exe: xtmc.exe example.tmc In the sources of Theta Music Composer 2.0 you can find an English documentation which can also be used with enotracker.

matosimi Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Thank you! Is there any documentation on how to use this? simply click the "wiki" link on github and there is complete list of keys and their functions... and note that in order to open file in enotracker, just run enotracker <file> ... or drag and drop music file to enotracker executable...

rdefabri Posted October 22, 2023 Author Share Posted October 22, 2023 Crazy that I started this thread 6 years ago almost to the day (and a day before my birthday no less)! I am playing around again with NeoTracker, just now - I'm curious to ask what the Covox support is for - is that voice or does it also help with samples?

+CharlieChaplin Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Afaik, Pokey = 4Bit sample playback (4bit DAC) Covox = 8Bit sample playback (8bit DAC) So, Covox is good for playing 8Bit MOD (and NEO) samples and 8Bit "PDM" (*.COV, *.COS) samples.

Mathy Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) Hello rdefabri Nowadays, "Covox" most of the time means a digital to analog convertors, which originated a couple of decades ago in Eastern-Europe and started as an array of resistors (This Covox is an output device!). This is not to be confused with the old American "Covox", which was a company that sold a series of analog to digital converters (This Covox is an input device!)
