Short: ProTracker clone with system GUI Author: Svein Engelsgjerd Uploader: Svein Engelsgjerd Type: mus/edit Version: 1.0 Architecture: m68k-amigaos AdeptTracker V1.0 ----------------- To be short: AdeptTracker is a ProTracker clone written from scratch. The main difference is that AdeptTracker is writen to use the system GUI instead of customized graphics. The GUI looks like ProTracker and the keyboard shortcuts should be (mostly) the same. The main goal with AdeptTracker was to write a systemfriendly tracker. Every bit of AdeptTracker is written in the programming language E (AmigaE) and with some assembly code here and there to speed things up. When I got the idea about writing a systemfriendly ProTracker clone I had no experience with either the module (mod.) fileformat nor have I never programmed the soundhardware of the Amiga before. I imagined that the project would be quite complex and it surely was. Everything including the replay routine is written from scratch by myself. The only help I had was some documentation of the ProTracker fileformat and later I got my hands on the RKRM (Rom Kernel Reference Manual) who explained some of the soundhardware. I also wrote my own DMA wait (100% safe) and also I "invented" a nifty display routine to speed up the "scrolling" in AdeptTracker. AdeptTracker is far from finished and should not be considered as a final product. The main reason I have decided to release this version is for archiving purposes only. AdeptTracker is as I se it rather unique since it's the only system GUI application that tries to "copy" the ProTracker userinterface (inspired by ProTracker V2.3a).
