Hi guyz,
thx a lot.

Well, the single ZIP can be for example here:

(Press the blue "Click here to start download from sendspace" inscription) because i-demo.pl is not our server, so we can't put the content twice, You know.

Best wishes!

> So, finally I found the .scl version on some Russian website. Got AMD, too. Created a blank .trd, and copied an unsigned 8bit 16kHz drum sample to it. Loaded the tracker in FUSE, attached .trd image with the sample, click LOAD SAMPLE and... NO SAMPLES FOUND. Arrghhh! Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I'm complete clueless.
------------------------------
To make the SampleTracker see the samples, You have to change their extension into *.I (not 'small L" but "big i").
It will see them then. I use Real Commander 2.6 for it.

Press "LOAD SAMPLE" (on the left-hand side of the screen - not "LOAD SAMPLES" on the right).
Now You can move/navigate with QAOP. SPACE is fire of course.
However to leave the 'samples window', You have to press CTRL+SHIFT (SymbolShift+CapsShift).
You can test the samples only in EDIT mode.
In 3rd octave more/less.

> One more question, does ST support looping of samples?
--------------------
Nope. Sadly it doesn't. When I need some longer samples (mostly to make some bass-brass or bass-string, I simply play it many times with a short samples, but rhythmically. Every 4 lines, or 8 lines, whatever You need.
Then people cannot usually hear it's not one long note, mostly due to low 4bit quality. Especially when it plays along with other channels.

_______EDIT_________
Aha, while saving Your work, You have to do it twice:
with button SAVE SONG and SAVE SAMPLES (the same goes for loading).

I imagine it should, as it loads even regular PC WAVs, hehe.
But it adds a click on beginnings of instruments (which is a header that's audible here) that means SampleTracker prefers rather un-signed samples.
I'd say SampleTracker will work the best with unsigned RAW files. 8bit quality and 16000hz should be OK for it.
However You should remember that the program is designed for ZX Spectrums with 48Kb only, so Your instruments _must_ be small. Normally, for ZX48K I make samples 1-3Kb big. The program behaves then in a similar way like MusicMon on Atari ST (various ways of decoding) - it plays on ZX the 8bit samples with quality required for hardware You have.
Which in ZX case means: when You switch into Covox, then You hear 8bit quality of Your music. If You have only the standard config - Spectrum48 with AY-interface, then You will hear 4bit quality of the samples.
And also - on the basic config - alone ZX48 - You will have Your song in 1-bit quality (beeper). Of course still 3 channels.

Greetz,

PS: If You plan to use ZX48 and the SampleTracker, I can test for sure what sample-format does it use exactly. But actually we should rather move this conversation into "Other Vintage Computers & Consoles" corner, hahah. Although the sound-chip is the same in both machines.

Well, You didn't give any link.
However,for my taste, the guy is deceiving somehow.

STE is STE.

And STFM is another machine (simpler). Hence - should be cheaper, for example.

F=floppy (on-board)
M=TV-modulator (on-board).

STE has both features and muuuch more. So the guy seems to be deceptive.

...if anybody's interested - some samples-set (about 70 of them, various ones, I made from my synthesizer). Some of them might require a fine-tune (modern synth hardware appears to be crap).
