Commander X16

DreamTracker 0.71 released! This is mostly a bugfix release, though does add 2 new effects. I also finished my cover of Dr. Wily - Stage 1 (from MegaMan 2) which showcases the new features pretty well. You can give it a listen here: https://youtu.be/kxnV49hn82g It's also included with 0.71, though y...

Another teaser showing off 0.71, which will be mostly a bugfix release. I'll release it soon as I'm confident I fixed the ugly save bug issue :/

Update to Dr. Wiley showing off even more of macros and XOR: https://youtu.be/NzTwnEao3vU I am finding there are some sonic differences between the real X16 and x16emu. Ended up having to tweak some volumes though I don't think the issue is the volume lin/log changes in VERA as those should be on bo...

I don't know enough to comment on the composing side, but it looks and sounds awesome! Thanks! Yeah happy with how it's turning out. The macros feature has proven to be hugely useful. It's not immediately apparently by looking at the video as much but it's a pretty big feature, at least for me. I k...

It's not yet beta but went ahead and cut 0.70 which includes the macros, effect changes (and additions), experimental MIDI IN clock support, and a song-file converter for previous versions (which is ~90% good). Now available on https://www.dreamtracker.org/ Changes from 0.69 include: Effects re-org ...

It's macro time!

The vacation was incredible of note! But I am back now with a really really fun feature I am excited about! I'll let the video explain it: https://youtu.be/V0XismI-YhA MIDI sync! A *massive* thanks to Kevin for allowing me to get my hands on one of the new MIDI cards. MIDI sync had always been a hop...

Just a quick note I'll be going on vacation for the next few weeks. Between prepping for that and the actual vacay, there aren't any visible updates to share to DreamTracker yet. I am working on the macro feature and folks can see a (very early) preview in the gitlab project. I thought about cutting...

Yep I thought about multi-effect columns, especially coupled with a more sparse storage format. I opted not to for a few reasons. The most practical one is each channel with the single effect format uses 5 bytes. So 5 * 25 * 64 is 8000 bytes, which fits into a page of HIMEM with a small bit left ove...

Of Tables and Macros I'm looking again at the macros and tables features. In part because I'm running into case where I myself could use them (macros notably). I've decided to try and tackle both, with macros happening first. I'm trying to sort out how to organize these things noting that there's a...
