Thanks i am glad that you like it, it's always nice when someone wants to use the programs.

i think one of the reason why the good low latency is.

the hole player routine is made in pure Asm,
and the main part that runs 2 million times i sec, and the part that make the sample buffer is highly optimize.
But the 3 timer and the score decoding could use a little optimization to run optimal,
but the CPU is not getting any slower so who cares smile

but i am thinking of making an extended version, that can run my old dos-score, so i will need a least 9 voices, or 18 voices.
with greater volume resolutions, different noise and hardware buzzer in each channels, so i will properly have to go back and optimize the hole deal.

Very interesting Peter, that's very fast indeed!

It would be nice be able to use some more channels or possibly trigger another instance of the tracker to start when the song starts? No easy task though, so maybe something for the future.

I program a little (using GLBasic), nothing as complex as assembly though, your reply sparked my interest, how did you learn to program sound synthesis? I googled it but it's not an easy subject to get info on. tongue

i was consider the idea of tricker 2 or more programs, but some time you can run more than one, other time it don't work.
so i think the only way is to add more channels.

i am not sure that i remember where i learn i from, but some of the things i learn from a Danish book about synth, other thinks i found out by my self, some was one of my friend that told me how he wanted the tracker (eg. no pattens score) , but it is so long ago, i think i started around 1985-1986 on the MSX home computer,
my first music program for the Atari was a midi program made i GFA basic. patten based.

but many of the thing that is in my player you can track back to my early trackers, on how i made my bend routine work.
i have never use the internet to finds ways to make my players/editors, i have only use it to find specifications on the hardware.
but i use the internet alot these day to help me program in windows, i forgot the most after 11 years of absent smile

btw. i also got few good idea here smile

Seems like some sort of black art, hehe! big_smile

Another few channels would make my day, the current set up is great but not having at least 4 channels is a little restrictive. I'm all for extra channels Peter, if its at all possible.

Hi.
i thinks it is possible:
But it is a major make over, all score print, and score edit functions have to be redesign.
plus some of the sound engine also have do be remake.
one of my friend think i should start form scratch, but i don't like that idea smile)
did you download the new version, with the finish steep function?

Hi i have uploaded a new version

the main feature of the beta 12.01.
Unified frequent list, now there are the same space between all the notes,
so i does not matter, if you port and same time have and arpeggio, or one of the source is pitch one octave higher, now they keep in tune.

disadvantage, is you need to change some of the score (instrument vibrato list, FX Portamento rate)


New Function in Beta 12.01
Auto Portamento
Buzzer Vibrato
Buzzer Portamento
Unified frequent list
Turn Tone/Wave on-off in vibrato, bend and arpeggio.
Vibrato Depth
Invert Vibrato for synth wave.

this will properly be the last beta for a long time, except if i find some nasty bugs.

enjoy

Download it from here.
