Fast Tracker sequencer - simply amazing
I’m pretty happy today since I got to play with this new FREE music sequencing software that Andrew sent me, called “MilkyTracker”. In fact I’m ULTRA happy with the software, it’s so awesome…! I got to create my own waveforms (i.e. sounds) and thus creating my own “instruments”. You can start creating from scratch by drawing the wave forms (yea, drawing them!!!) or you can start from a default waveform like a sine wave or a sawtooth. I had so much fun creating sounds!!! You can even create sounds from a drumkit like bass drum/snare/hi-hats… isn’t that fxxking too cool!?!? Also available are loads of built in effects that you can apply to individual notes, like tremolo, panning, volume sliding, vibrato, arpeggiating…and so on. The possibilities are just unlimited.
A description of Tracker from Wiki: “Tracker is the generic term for a class of software music sequencers which, in their purest form, allow the user to arrange sound samples stepwise on a timeline across several monophonic channels. A tracker’s interface is primarily numeric; notes are entered via the alphanumeric keys of the computer keyboard, while parameters, effects and so forth are entered in hexadecimal. A complete song consists of several small multi-channel patterns chained together via a master list.”
Here’s the screenshot of Andrew’s song in Milky Trakcer. Somehow color of his app looks cooler which is unfair….! Anyway, I was messing with it for the whole night, and made this little crazy short piece (the first song below). I think it sounds okay…lol
The second song below was made by Andrew, it’s pretty awesome IMO.
