I was late to the party, and even my jaw dropped....

Don't ever do that again!!

Here i was gearing up for some big changes that i was going to try to make, just to find out it was disappearing...all of you may not know this, but ModPlug is the only one i (we) use. It's the best free tracker out there, as far as features and simplicity. The learning curve is shallow and now with the help manual, diving in is much easier. Because it's open-source, new users who also happen to know how to program can make improvements.

I have Renoise, ReVisiT, and even Synthfont on my hard drive, but all music gets composed on MPT, because it can get done quickly. Even though the mastering capabilities in MPT is rudimentary, i know it well enough to do all my mastering, for both my songs and Tassel of Blue's, with ModPlug.

Here's hoping it never goes away!! :cheers:

So, is OpenMPT not discontinued then? That was a good joke. I did notice that that post was submitted on April Fools' Day. I simply saw it and thought that it was legitimate. So, how many patterns does reViSiT offer? If I had to guess, I would guess 256.

Install it and try it out yourself.

I would say "YES", "SURE", "INDEED" or simply "BINGO".

"NO." would be appropriate for this question Rakib.

as a true tracker fan i couldnt found a better forum or topic to anounce this news for skaletracker fans.

www.skale.org

that was it to come...

Saga Musix · April 09, 2010, 21:35:53

as a user i have to agree. I'm part owner nothing to say but ok.

sad that the posts on the forum declined significantly in recent years, no news related to the free tracking software and no development anymore.

residentgrey · April 09, 2010, 23:29:02

twas a joke and a good one Samplekit.

kit beats · April 10, 2010, 00:26:40

i was off topic excuse me:)

Really Weird Person · April 10, 2010, 03:54:59

'twas a joke indeed. I fell for it too. It would be nice to see native IMF support though (since it does not appear to be implemented fully yet).

Saga Musix · April 10, 2010, 10:09:53

Can you please ignore this thread now... People are really going to be believe it if it stays at the top of the forum for weeks.

RWP: Can you please shut up now? ModPlug is not an AdLib tracker! You are talking about a completely different music format which happens to have the same file extension as Imago Orpheus modules. ModPlug is not an AdLib tracker, and I have told you that before. Mentioning impossible feature requests again and again doesn't make them more likely to happen!

Rakib · April 10, 2010, 10:23:32

Same with madtracker, it's been promised for a long time now that the software was going to be open source after years of no development. But no progress has happened. I think when mad tracker will be open source we can finally finish the support for madtracker files.
