It seems that for the IBM machines there is a SoundTracker clone called screamtracker. Now,is there a program that will allow the amiga to play those files ? (there are quite a few sites that have a large library of songs ...) Walt.

Apparently you don't know that Soundtracker/Noisetracker ORIGINATED on the Amiga. There are LOADS of programs which you can use to compose/edit/play ST/NT modules. Editors: Sountracker Noisetracker Compoisitive Pro-Tracker StarTrekker Med Players: Medplayer Intuitracker ModuleMaster Trackplay (I'm still working on it!!) Some of these can be obtained on ab20.larc.nasa.gov.

I thought that "ScreamTracker" let you play Amiga ST/NT et.al. modules on an IBM with the Adlib card. -

in reply to a previous posting : Yes I do know that the whole soundtracker and noisetracker series came out originally on the amiga (heck ! I have them, even the one that crashed on ntsc systems (i.e: the very early ones) ...) . but the thing is for the IBM computers, people saw the amiga programs and decided to write an IBM tracker. I am not talking about a PLAYER program that will play MOD files, but program that do what the ST/NT do, compose/play/show spectrum analyser etc... That program is called ScreamTracker. It uses its own notation. (not the standard ST/NT hex-notation even though the file layout is relatively the same . i.e: first few bytes = title then inst. names. then music datas (tracks) then at the very end, the inst. samples. it is easy to track down all the title,inst. name,inst. samples/. But the track datas are in an unknown format. (they show patterns but dont corespond to the NT/ST ones). Walt

Speaking of SoundTracker clones, I recently came across a NoiseTracker 1.2 player program for the Atari ST. It lets you play sounds using various hardware devices, including the ST's crummy sound chip. Sounds pretty good (amazing since the ST isn't designed to play sampled sound), and it even looks like a SoundTracker player - simulated copper effects (interrupt routines running on the CPU) to make a smoothly changing background colour, the four bars showing volumes of each sample... Of course, it isn't Stereo and it isn't multitasking :-) - Alex
