Keywords: noisetracker 2.0 midi sampler music editor Message-ID: Date: 8 Aug 90 10:23:33 GMT Distribution: comp Organization: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy NY Lines: 46 [ apologies if this in fact old news... it surprised me... ] NoiseTracker V2.0 is now out! This is apparently an upgrade to an earlier version of this program (ie, not NT V1.2), as it returns to the old "Spectrum Analyzer" display rather than 1.2's scope graph, and all the output lines are back in hexadecimal. I miss those. HOWEVER..... o It now has a built-in sampler! This allows you to make new instruments easily if you have a digitizer (Perfect Sound or like), and also has a few options for editing samples, either ones you make or old instruments you load in. Very nice! Although, as usual, cryptic... o It now has MIDI, fer goshsakes! I thought this was a rather odd option to add for a program designed to create Soundtracks for demos/games, etc. but there it is. No comments on this as I haven't messed with it yet. o My favorite new feature actually isn't new: This program includes both the much improved PLST-loader from NoiseTracker with a complete PLST- editor like SoundTracker's! Both in the same program... The archive I got had no documentation, so all these new features are a bit mysterious for now. However, these features (especially the PLST!) are well worth figuring out. I forget where Rob told me he got this archive from; it was an FTP site. (Thanks Rob!) I will post that when I find out. However, for a limited time only! I will mail this archive (Which includes NT2.0, Intui- Tracker V1.1) to anyone who emails me asking for a copy. (I won't post it to comp.binaries.amiga since Tad apparently is a bit wary of this product...it was removed freom Xanth, for some reason...) I can't keep this up forever, so act now, as they say... and happy tracking! (Since this has no documentation, I will be including V1.2's doc file with it. However, if you're not familiar with NoiseTracker already, be warned that it's a weird program, and takes considerable getting used to. I obviously can't attempt to help everyone whom I send this too... sorry... but good luck!) BTW, does anyone have any kind of story about this program? I mean, it seems like a group effort among the Amiga Community.. people keep making their own versions of it, from SoundTracker 2.3 to 2.5 to Noisetracker, et al... interesting... -- //..is|While 1 DO|Erin,Erin,where are|Art of Noise space| -- Ceej (= \X/there| Fork; |you? /-----------.-^------------------|ceej@pawl.rpi.edu AMIGAany|----------^-----|Cebhq gb or|Reclaimer:Hey!That's| gmry@mts.rpi.edu (=other?|HOW DO YOU FEEL.|Yvoreny!
