I used BPP on an A3000 in the early 90s. It's kind of funny that a "professional" suite had a sax for a mouse pointer, but it was a great MIDI sequencer, and this was the days before a strict adherence to a particular look and feel was expected.
@thesnake383 Don't some versions of Adobe Audition or Cool Edit read Amiga IFF files? I know there are floppy drivers for Windows that will allow you to read Amiga format disks. Between those two things there should be a way to digitally port Amiga samples into Windows.
AUTHOR's NOTE: SoundTracker, ProTracker, etc. all had one major failing (honestly, only 'real' musicians noticed)... a very limited choice of song tempos. A few b.p.m. here or there makes all the difference sometimes.
@avs002 Actually it was possible to alter the bpm with hex commands, even continously on each command line if you wanted. Different tempo's were possible to achieve with a little programming.
@avs002 Are you sure about that? As I recall, there were two parameters for tempo: a single-bit speed parameter, and a two-bit tempo parameter. By combining the two you could achieve virtually any bpm.
The commands 3D and 3E are changing the speed and tempo of protracker modules. Digibooster,Prostation Audio and HD-Rec are much more recent trackers for the now spitted amiga platform (Amiga classic,UAE, Amithlon,AROS, MorphOS, AmigaOS4)
@avs002 I can remember my octalyzer, creating every songtempo possible - even changeable as often as needed while playing. I could define the tempo for every single line. Wasn't it so by using soundtracker? I can't remember...
@avs002 that, right next to several fine or micro tuning issues is one thing that always annoyed me over PT, Med and Oktalyzer. Nevertheless it was a good time with ´em. PS.: for all you tracking lovers - try ReNoise!
@avs002 In Protracker you could go from 32bpm up to over 200bpm in 1bpm increments (or more if you 'dithered' the bpm on each line. Enough for most music I'd say.
ive got a demo disk. Amiga format. no idea which issue number, has 'Sequencer One' at the top, also has a 3 bonus xmas levels of Lemmings. any idea why there's little info on sequencer-one?
You can make any kind of music you want. Power Tracks Pro Audio has a MIDI sequencer, audio tracks with editing, and a basic music notation package. It's designed for general purpose music compositions, like 3 minute pop songs. It can loop, but if you want a lot of looping functions another software, like Sony ACID, may be more useful.
You could use Powertracks to make the music sound track for games, but for doing the game speech and sound effects it wouldn't be that much use...you would use the sound editor functions provided by the software system used to make the game.
@avs002 ... Yeah WinAUE is awesome huh.... I got every single AMIGA game rom including S.E.U.C.K. hahaha remember that "Shoot 'em up construction kit' where you make your own games.... I am having a house built with a dedicated cinema room and WinAUE will be setup on a seperate PC I bought just for Emulation.. Can't wait to play Super Cars, Lotus 3, Turrican 2, Turbo and more....... AMIGA lives on in my home.
I download them now.. No more borrowing games from friends and using XCOPY :P

I often use Amigas to compose MIDI tunes to port to a DAW and embellish.
Paste into bar THE JIMMY RIDDLE ORCHESTRA - MIDI SYMPHETTE for a decent little micro symphony.

@avs002 You can set bpm tempo freely in Protracker.
nonseans 10 months ago
@avs002 EPIC FAIL man. You can choose ANY bpm in Protracker's MODs, even you can modify the BPM at any time in any point of the song.
Maybe you don't know what is a real musician. :P

Actually it was possible to get any tempo, and even more ;) search such MODs like:
"Cos Niesamowitego" or "Black Queen" by Dreamer of Flying Cows - that's really hardcore ;)
