This is a tracker with all its sounds it makes coming off one synthesizer,   Its just coming together now, Ive been working on it a bit over a week, and theres a couple of days left.  (About a little less than 4 hours work left.)  But with no tracker effects, but with a synthesizer as the input, it doesnt really need them so much anyway.

Heres a couple of youtube vids, I got a quick skin on it to make it look cool, but its got plenty of flashing bugs, I can probably get rid of them tho.

Anyone like the sound of the instrument generator?  Its scratchy sounding.

What programming language?  What IDE ?

Its visual studio 2022 64 bit,  gdi for graphics and libsoundio for sound.
And I code a form of quasimoto c in c++ to get things done.

The synthesizer + tracker combo is really cool,  tracker gets the sequencing done really fast and the synth handles all the unique voices,   I've actually got 1000 voices per song on this thing,  never probably use them all - and I dont know how many sounds I can get out of the synth yet,  but theres quite a few.

I'm proud of what I got out of it,  it was a big step personally for me getting it done,   all the sound I did before wasn't as good because I didn't have a proper basic grasp on synthesizers like I do now.

Got a bit more of the pattern editor in.   I have adsr envelopes with working note stop for the release knob, definitely make it sound like a flute!!!

I will get it done,  but i'm in the lack of motivation the final 4 hours of solid code gives u,  just going a snails pace...
