@CBoyardee The limits are: 256 voices polyphony, 25 points envelopes 9999 ticks length each. I can't make "infinitely complex" song, but something close enough to it is possible :)
It's sampled in single IT channel so only one note can be triggered at each line but mutiple samples can be played simultaneously since they were triggered so it's in fact multi-channel music and that is reason why it sounds so great. With older trackers like Scream Tracker it would be impossible. But still nice job!
To bad there's talking straight through it. Is it somewhere one can hear the TUNE instead of "This is how I did it"? (Since now. . . It's quite hard to know exactly what was done)
omfg! a lot of programming :d it really was programming, all the trackers in fact! :X:X:X sooo fuckin` sweet! I just lovev to f@cK around with anvelopes :X ahm ... and 8 bits 96 bytes!!!! :X i really miss those times:P and yeah, lim was trully a legend!
Very nice. I've been using IT for quite some time too -- a long time ago. Of course you're using more as 10 physical channels by using the NNA's, so i'm not sure what's the point of using only one track, but at least it looks very neat and the song is really nice too ;)
I don't really come along well with the sequencers nowadays, they are sooo sluggish in comparison to a tracker interface, and IT was 100% Assembler too :)
Nice bit of technical tracking, ive used the instrument section a bit but usually end up with just pure samples, have done a few 2channel mods and a mass of 4,6 n 8 channel ones tho dont think i have anything i could call a tune on 1 channel, will have to go away and have a go :)
One channel mods are good and all, but what's the point if you're using virtual channels? The impressive part about the old school purple motion 1chan mod was that it used no virtual channels whatsoever and still made a fairly expressive song.
Not that I mean any disrespect of course. It's still good work for a 1chan even with polyphony but I was just curious. Restrictions are fun to work with :D
S76. (New NOte Action). with this way and long envelopes you can use one channel tot oggle 256 virtual channels. the possibilities with loops etc are endless. endless.
well, it is really. but i wouldnt have thought to use pitch envelopes in a 1 channel track. it makes sense tho, and if there was a way to use both the filter envelope and the pitch envelope at the same time(there isnt), i'd be very well inclined to give it a shot.
WOW, that's what I call "Lord of the trackers". It's like programming Windows XP just using the .BAT file. Hats off to you.

Could you use this method to make a song infinitely complex, or is there a maximum number of frequencies you can emulate in a single channel?

@xm07 Thank you!
I prefer to call it "polyphonic" instead of "multichannel", because it actually tracked on a single channel but produces a polyphonic sound.

@EzelWesik
link for that demo is:
ftp://ftp.scene.org/pub/music/groups/sands/toysongs3.zip
And i strongly recomend to use some better player because winamps module decoder plugin is very badly made.

Good idea. good work!
I used 'Scream Tracker', then go to the 'Impulse Tracker' and release four Tracks.
eg.
Dj PaRe - mega609 (by tempo music record)
(made with Impulse Tracker, search for it on youtube)

it's all very nice but can I ask you why do you SPEAKING while the music playing?
Why don't you use subtitles? Sorry for my question but it's very annoying in this way.

why my "ON FILTER" doesnt never works on frequency envelope? how must i setup it?

Read FILTERS.TXT from Impulse Tracker folder.
You should switch to Instrument mode, also you need to tweak Midi setup (Shift+F1) and save output configuration.

I have made a few 2 channel tunes with no NNA in 1994. Will try 1 channel in 2010 :) Thanks for idea.

But I guess playing one note, then another one doesn't kill the first one?
That makes 1 channel tracking a little easier, but still good work!
