Klystrack -- "chiptracking for your netbook" :) (Page 9 of 42)

lol... "you can buy an sp for a few bucks"

Sure, that's all that's required! I once ported Far Cry 3 to my microwave by leaving the disc on top of the microwave long enough. No human work involved at all! Next project, I'm gonna try to boot linux on my couch, cause I only got it for a few bucks.

Seriously though, the replay library is open source and freely available to anyone. Just, yknow...do it yourself? Some of us KT users would rather Komet spends time fixing bugs and improving Klystrack rather than port it to a console that really, really doesn't need another music app. Plus as Ilkke pointed out, if you really just want to play the songs somewhere without lugging a computer around, render them to mp3 and play that on your ipod?

By improving you mean adding 4op fm right?

lol!

I wonder if klystrack would be suitable for use on a raspberry pi?

I've tried compiling it for the PI. The problem is that the code is a total mess. You need to compile 87 projects back to back to make it happen, and all of those need to be edited for work on the PI. I've even tried to pay a programmer friend of mine to clean the mess up, he took one long look at it, laughed, and said nope.

You should all do like I do. Write bug/suggestions reports knowing they'll be mostly ignored, and then deal with whatever the hell gets released and work around the limitations. In a way, it's his software, he supports it however he wants so we have nothing to complain about really. But to me, Klystack feels like watching the world's fastest race dog chained to a post and malnourished. Wasted potential and no love.

As for FM. I personally see no need for it because there's already tons of softwares out there that do it very well. What's lacking most for me is a couple of options in the synth engine like noise pitch independant from the instrument's pitch, fine tuning, some more shapes in the wave editor single-cycle generator and reorganizing the screens into something that doesn't feel like every new option is tacked on 'where there's place for it'. And a 'live' screen where you can mute/unmute and loop/unloop on the fly, and in sync with the tempo.

BTW I wrote to Rockbox alternative mp3 player firmware team to please include Klystrack modules for replay... Rockbox supports playing Atari ST, SID, Atari 800, NES, SNES, PC Engine, MSX and KONAMI and many more modules... So why not Klystrack???

Excellent idea, I love RB
