Dream Tracker
Posted: Tue Jul 04, 2023 7:46 pm
Native tracker in active for the X16 which currently supports the VERA PSG channels (FM and PCM to follow). It's currently usable but is still an alpha (meaning the file format can and likely will still change).
Currently it doesn't work via the web emulator (I'm not sure why) but does work on x16emu, box16 (you need to use an SD card image), and a real X16.
You can download it along with view the manual over at http://dreamtracker.org.
At present it works and can be used to make music! To hear a demo, load up the tracker and load the DEMO.DTR song. Press F5 to play and enjoy!

It currently supports:
- Pattern editing (including copy/paste) and Orders
- Volume and PWM Envelopes (32 global envs assignable to any instrument-envelope)
- 127 PSG Instruments
- Fine-Tune
- Panning
- Volume/Pan tracker effects and note-off
- Pitch, Volume, and PWM pattern effect slides and sweeps
- Arpeggio
- Tremolo, Vibrato, Pulsolo
- Global channel attenuation
- Envelope trigger on note-release, envelope loops
- Channel mute/solo
- YM2151 support
- Pattern shortcuts for better navigation to handle all 25 channels (16 PSG, 8 FM, 1 PCM)
- PCM (intentionally lofi at 8-bit/11Khz or maybe even less)
- Common pattern effects (PWM, slides, glide, arp, etc.)
- Either macros and/or tables similar to LSDJ where multiple effects can be setup in a table which can run at up to envelope speed (vsync at present) and assignable to instruments as well as called as a pattern effect
- Multiple clock options (vsync, VIA, MIDI/controller pulse)
