LIBXM7 demo: Rhubarbarian

Yet another version (0.93) of LIBXM7 was released and it now has the full XM effect range implemented. You might know LIBXM7 from other videos such as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9e8uyL4Qngo and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOTtW3GKVTs so we can skip further introductions. If you don't, see the descriptions of the linked videos. :)

The song "Rhubarbarian" was written in MilkyTracker as usual, using the Waveworld sample pack available as (legal) torrent on The Mod Archive's tracker. TMA also hosts the original Rhubarbarian XM file. The demo also includes songs from my favorite Swede Strobe in collaboration with Ampli, my favorite Swede. Also present is my favorite Swede Ogge and then there's Kmuland.

The video is a blatant fake, the demo doesn't look like this. I mean how could it, on NDS? What you're seeing is 4 (No$gba) emulated Nintendo DS touch screens stitched together and the 3D spectrum spinning on the background was captured from XMPlay visualizing the song using CoR's Spec'n'Hopp originally written for Sonique. The sound is directly from No$gba though, and should sound pretty much identical to a real DS in all its non-interpolated, non-ramped goodness.

I always wondered how you play the notes in tracker? Do you have to manually type the freq of the each note or do you use some kind of keyboard to play the notes? If so, how long does it take to write that fast arpy notes..?

[Lotta383]

The QWERTY keyboard is roughly mapped to two octaves of a piano layout. Q=c, 2=c#, W=d, 3=d#, E=e, R=f...

You can usually play live in the tracker, but recording that onto the patterns generally produces shoddy results. Writing a song in a tracker involves helluva lot of actual typing on the keyboard but you've also got powerful editing methods at your disposal.

Basic arpeggios can be written using a special effect command, but the more advanced you want to go, the more manual work is involved
