A patriot’s loyalty is to his country, and loyalty to country requires holding government accountable. Code4k. Lets make some music online! Some time ago, I came across Sonant, which is a very specialized tracker.

Lets make some music online!

Its main purpose is to create songs that can be used in tiny demos, where the size of the song data plus the player software must not exceed a couple of kilobytes (for comparison, an MP3 file is usually several megabytes). For various reasons, I decided to make a JavaScript port of Sonant, and the result is: Feel free to try it out! The “Why?” Sonant Live - online music tracker. Shader Toy. Tracker (music software) Music trackers (usually referred to simply as trackers) are a type of music sequencer software used to create music.

Tracker (music software)

They represent music tracks as an arrangement of discrete musical notes positioned in one of several channels, at discrete chronological positions on a timeline. The file format used for saving songs is called a module file. A music tracker's musical interface is traditionally numeric: both notes and parameter changes, effects and other commands are entered with the keyboard into a grid of fixed time slots as codes consisting of letters, numbers and hexadecimal digits. Separate patterns have independent timelines; a complete song consists of a master list of repeated and concatenated patterns. History[edit] 1987: origins on the Amiga[edit] The term tracker derives from Ultimate Soundtracker; the first tracker software.

The tool and the software synth has a minimalistic design, and the resulting song data is small enough to fit in an URL. Even so it takes some time to master this tool, but once you're comfortable with it you can produce quite amazing sounds and music. Some demo songs have been included to get you started. This is a work-in-progress snap-shot of a project called SoundBox that has not been released yet. The sound synth has its roots in the C language synth Sonant by Jake Taylor (Ferris/Youth Uprising), and was initially ported to JavaScript as a proof-of-concept project. Since this tool uses the audio tag to produce sound, it should work in most browsers (tested in Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari and Firefox mobile - though the UI isn't really optimized for mobile yet).

OpenMPT. History[edit] ModPlug code origins[edit] In December 1999, Olivier Lapicque sent the module-playing parts of ModPlug Tracker's source code to Kenton Varda, under the GPL, to write a plugin for XMMS based on the code.

OpenMPT

The source code was later released to the public domain, and the mod-playing code was split off into a separate library, libmodplug, maintained as part of the ModPlug XMMS Plugin project. This project lay dormant from late 2003 until early 2006, when it was picked up again. Today, libmodplug is included in many Linux distributions as a default audio plugin for playing module files and is a part of the popular OpenSource multimedia framework gstreamer.[5] Due to lack of time, Olivier Lapicque discontinued development of ModPlug Tracker itself, and in early 2004, he released the entire source code under an open license. 4Klang - Alcatraz Software Synthesizer.

It generates a perfectly looped wavetable sample which can be used in instruments. It easily generates sounds of ensembles, choirs, metalic sounds (bells) and many other types of sound.
