Great job at reminding me why I shouldn't come here and try to help.

Madbit's FM Tracker is a tracker that runs in DOS for AdLib compatible soundcards.
My friend Madbit created this in 1994 with help from Keywiz, he was 17 at the time and never finished or released it.

He  decided to release it open source after some talks with me and realizing there's actually interest in this sort of project! So you can take on his work and take it to wherever you want it to go. He has cleaned up the code and fixed a few bugs prior to releasing the source code.

The repository is here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/fmtracker/

Feature list:

- FastTracker inspired interface and keyboard shortcuts.
- OPL-2 Instrument editor with live preview.
- Imports instruments from HSC Tracker and S!P AdLib Tracker.
- Up to 256 patterns per song.
- 64 rows and 9 channels per pattern.
- Editable scrolltext message per song.
- Supported tracker commands: Pitch slide up, Pitch slide down, Shift to note, Set carrier volume, Set modulator volume, Set feedback, Slide volume, Jump to position, Set volume, Break pattern, Key off, Vibrato on/off, Amplitude modulation on/off, Fine volume slide up, Fine volume slide down, Set tempo.

Here's a video of me testing the previous version on my Toshiba libretto 50CT:

At least I can use this one, AdLib Tracker 2 doesn't really run on my Libretto (keyboard problems)

Enjoy.

Help me stop my poorness.

Do you live in the UK? Want your C64 modified like this? Your gameBoy pro-sounded? Megadrive pimped up? Want me to transfer you some software to disk/tape? Shoot me a line at ********* and let's talk about it, as I rarely check the forums (only when I need to sell you something tongue)

The pots used to do this are linear, so the tapering is not because of that, unless the added trimmers are logarithmic and then tapering is introduced. If that's the case, then the circuit makes more problems than solutions and it's way too complicated (for me) for what it supposedly does.

i'd like to know if anybody has tried with 250K pots because it seems 470K is a ridiculous value.

It's a shame InactiveX  isn't posting here or replying my messages, he'd be able to clear my doubts right away hmm

Ugh, talking to myself then...
After going through the whole process of making this circuit, I think: wouldn't it be almost the same to just get potentiometers of different value?
470K makes it so I traveled the whole range at half of a turn. Wouldn't 250K pots yield a much better result making the trimmers pointless?

If anybody can explain to me exactly which part of this all is the tapering circuit, I could try to make the same effect using those components and 250K pots and see where that goes...

Any chance we can get a demo version? It's not that I think you are charging a lot of money at all (it's a great price actually), but I really want to know if I can really use this plugin beforehand. I already have a bunch of FM VSTis, all of which are probably not like yours, but unless I really know what I am missing (or not), I can't commit.

Thanks for your great work in any case.

I am half way done with my mod. Waiting on the capacitors to arrive.
If this works, I'll post all relevant pics in here, as well as a diagram with the vero board setup I am using.
I have wasted some space, but it should be fine.

Thanks. One more thing: I don't see teh polarity on the capacitors explained on the diagram. How should I wire them?

Well it's me again.
I am trying to get the parts and I am having problems sourcing electrolytic 4700pF capacitors. Can I use ceramic ones, the ones shaped as little discs? I read somewhere they might introduce noise to analog signals so they might not be the best thing to use...
