zenasprime Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I've recently pull out my Atari 1040 STf out of storage to try and work on some chiptunes but it seems to be on the blink. Until I can figure out how to salvage the poor machine, I thought I power up my 800 and see what I could do with it. Is there any resources out there where I can possibly pick up some software for generating music with the 800? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 search for Raster Music Tracker to compose pokey tunes on PC or search for following native trackers Theta Music Composer, MPT, CMC... just to name few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emkay Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 search for Raster Music Tracker to compose pokey tunes on PC or search for following native trackers Theta Music Composer, MPT, CMC... just to name few I guess, that's the problem. They are all trackers, not synth-tools. If someone gets a step "back" to test the A8 "for fun" he will encouter the limits very soon.

Other then the Raster Music Tracker, I cannot find any reasonable search hits for the others. Does anyone have a link to where I can check these other programs out?

+Stephen Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 NeoTracker is another good one, but I think it requires an extended memory machine. It is also a sample based tracker so it doesn't sound too good on the stock PoKey. It's great on a CoVox moodded machine.

doctorclu Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 So I guess there is not a chiptune player for the Atari8? How about for the Atari ST? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you just want a player (not composer), check out the SAP archive. You can play most all of the tunes within the archive on the actual A8.
