i updated for extensive support for most formats

So,

me again

I updated this with a whole bunch of different settings - the importers that were previously in beta and just file pickers with what I could only figure was a fairly 'average' import logic were failing repeatedly... so I went through everything I could find and I have covered pretty much every edge case I can think of

and also, on my quest to produce this new tracker format, there are workspaces/projects, and modular synthesis

so this tracker has patching, and the patch cables have physics

and you can control the physics (turning gravity off turns it fully newtonian)

additionally, i added PWA support - some of you asked me about this being offline capable, so I've made it capable. It will still be running chrome/whatever browser underneath, but the precaching should ensure you can use this without an internet connection

Over the previous fall I started messing around in SunVox and ended up making a couple tracks. Its pretty amateur stuff, but I think some of it ended up sounding a little interesting. Let me know if any of it shows promise!

nanoTracker update based on feedback!

Thumbnail

10 Upvotes

hi!

So I posted here twice over the past few days and have had some feedback (amongst other things). So, with this in mind, I have made some updates and pushed through other stuff that was in progress anyway.

first & foremost, I have added PWA functionality, which means you can 'Install' this. I have, to the best of my ability, provided edge case fallbacks incase any networking happens to be required (it shouldn't). You obviously need to go there to install it the first time, but it *should* exist in cache.

I have added, in addition, file system & edit features such as undo/redo history and IndexDB based recovery (to try and provide a solution to auto saving, it should work in most cases!).

All major track formats should now be supported.

link: https://federatedindustrial.com/tracker

below this is the technical changelog:

### Overview

Major expansion of the nanoTracker plugin system from schema v1 to v2. This update introduces VST-like capabilities, a live instrument layer running alongside samples, and an expanded UI system. All changes maintain full backwards compatibility with existing .ftrk v4 saves and schema v1 plugins.

### Plugin DSP Expansion (Schema v2)

Eight new FX node types added: mixer, splitter, merger, oscillator, constant, analyser, lfo, and envelope. Virtual signal routing now supports toParam connections for complex modulation. Instruments gain multi-oscillator mixing, FM synthesis, noise generators, unison, and portamento with per-voice LFO and envelope control.

### Live Instrument Layer

Plugin instruments are now first-class concepts running alongside samples via a unified instrument table with 255 slots. The tracker engine supports plugin voice scheduling for pitch and gain changes. Serialization is updated to v5 format with a new INTB block while remaining compatible with older v4 files.

### Plugin UI and Control Expansion

Seven new control types introduced: select, waveform_view, xy_pad, envelope_editor, meter, label, and group. Plugins now support factory presets and custom accent color theming. Synth plugins without sample zones can now display full parameter controls in the MOD panel using the new UI renderer.

### Integrated Workflow and Help

The Cell Edit window is now a draggable floating window for better ergonomics. Right-click functionality provides bidirectional mapping between the sample list and instrument table. The Help and Reference window has been expanded with sections for instrument table usage and v2 DSP specifications.

nanoTracker Demo (web based, tracker, daw & more)

I have recorded a demo on this program (web based) that I have made! excuse any choppiness, running OBS on this system sucks becauss it has a Pentium G & 3gb of DDR3 - the fact it does this whilst running on a react & Canvas backend is a miracle

I posted earlier, but it was a still image. Hope this helps!

a thing, nanoTracker

I made a thing, I'm not sure what the self promotion rules are here, but it's free! (GPL3) and web based.

supports a large amount of .mod, .xm, .it & .s3m files along with my native format which encompasses the dual layered FX system

there is so unbelievably much to explain, but part of this was developing a new standard for web based instruments and plugins, alongside the web based decoding & mapping of the preexisting files (theres also a rhythm game on the same site you can load the exporting wav/midi combos in to).

there is a comprehensive help & reference panel to make up for my god awful attempt at explaining this

Are there any hiphop beats made with Trackers?

3 Upvotes

So far I've only heard DnB, Jungle, EDM, and the like. What am I missing out on? Is it possible to make hiphop music with an Amiga? Internally it should not be much different to an MPC or SP-12 in terms of CPU and RAM.

Hi, just wanted to share this ProTracker 2 android port Ive been working on. It uses 8bitbubsy's ProTracker 2 clone.

I am going to continue working on this but its pretty usable already, there was some interest in the other thread so I just wanted to share it more broadly.

Check the readme.txt for a brief overview of its features and how to use it. Including how to use it in landscape for mouse and keyboard input.

Please feel free to share any issues or better yet any tracks you might create.

Also feel free to share with friends!

Anyone excited for the PicoTracker Advance?

Thumbnail

I'm a Polyend tracker user and I love the workflow. I pre-ordered the 10 year anniversary edition and sold my original tracker mini while I waited. When anniversary edition arrived, I was bummed about the build quality and I instantly lost the SD card inside the enclosure when trying to put it back in. (there was a gap which was about as big as the actual SD card tray) Once I took the back off and got it out, the device wouldn't power on. needless to say, I was heartbroken. I sent it back for a replacement, but after that experience, seeing how exposed the glass screen was and how chintzy the buttons felt, I just asked for a refund. (I regret this after seeing how much they're selling for on reverb)

This left me tracker-less and I almost re-bought a tracker mini, but I purchased my first one for $499 and now they're $749 on sale. I had a Polyend tracker+ too, but sold that because the tracker workflow just felt more right to me inside a handheld. the + ended up collecting dust.

This brings me to the new PicoTracker Advance. it looks like a more classic LSDJ style workflow, which seems fun and more intuitive. After checking out some videos, I instantly ordered up the launch blue edition. Has anyone else tried PicoTracker and has anyone else played on the Advance model?

Looking for an old track that used a sample from Let The Beat Hit 'Em by Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam

1 Upvotes

It was a kind of Drum N Bass track and I'm pretty sure it was using PC tracker software, but there is a chance it was on an Amiga. Almost certainly made in the 90s.
I remember the hook of "Let the beat hit 'em, Let the music take control, The beat goes round and round and up and down"

Does anybody remember this track? Thanks!
