i love it, the samples on MPT work perfectly!!!"
So here might be Your solution indeed. wink
We were using this stuff while making "XL-Digital" demo (and album). My friends coded the stuff.

in several hours only I go about 700km trip to the Atari "SV 2012" party, so I don't have much time to answer at the moment (have to go to sleep at last!! wink ) but maybe this would be helpful, at least in some degree:
http://atarimusic.net/forum/topic?f=124&t=113

Also the WAVE_to_Atari_XL prog:

However it's probably better for Neotracker. But I'm not sure. Maybe MPT will handle this stuff too.
That's all I know at the moment, I hope it's useful somehow.

Greetzzzzzzzzz,
Y

You must convert samples to 4bit and play with them little bit to have no noise...
Atari POKEY plays 4bit samples on MPT (chip plus samples)...

BTW you can try NEOTRACKER for samples only modules...

Pokey is capable to play 8 or 16bit (I am not sure that CPU will do, but POKEY it selfs gots 8bit, 16bit mode see datasheet - Atari used pokey on Arcade machines too) but it will plays sample in that quality as 1 channel...

btw, i use an sio2sd device rather than a floppy drive to load .atr files onto my 65xe.

1) is it true for music protracker that i must import samples into the program in order to get non-noise sounds? i cannot figure out how to get non-noise waveforms using the program alone.

2) using an sio2sd rather than a diskette, how would i do what yerzmyey said to do in the other thread? (i'll quote him below..) would that still work on an 8bit atari?

yerzmyey's answer regarding STe:
"Well, if You consider using Atari ST/e with ST ProTracker, You can solve the samples' problem the way I did: You can use any Amiga or PC tracker, collect required samples, load them and save an 'empty' 4ch MOD file (with samples only). Then You can easily load the MOD into Atari ST/e, with normal standard PC diskette (720K). Then You can make Your music on Atari, having all the prepared samples available."


i have looked and looked for clear documentation answering these questions, but the only documents i have located are in polish. (even after i google-translated that jawnt it still didn't answer my questions.)

thanks everybody.
