Audio Tracker Manual

Audio Tracker Overview

Audio Tracker is a 3 channel Chip Tracker for the Oric Atmos 48K Machine with or without Disc Drive.

The Audio Tracker Manual uses links in captured images from the editor to ease navigation of the system.

Audio Tracker Music Structure

A music is made from short sequences of notes called patterns. Each pattern can be present once or more in the song. The order in which patterns are played is defined by the song list

A pattern is just a list of notes, each defined by a reference to an instrument, pitch, duration, and eventual effect applied to it.

Audio Tracker Music Editor

The Audio Tracker editor is split into 4 regions. Mouse click over the region in the screenshot below for more information on it.

 
 
 

 

Audio Tracker Compiler

The Audio Tracker Compiler will compile the Music.
Compiling involves optimisation of both Code and Data. Unused Functionalities in the code are ommitted and Only data used is compiled. The final generated code and data is usually a fraction of the original music and code size and for a small piece of music can be only a few kilobytes long.

The Audio Tracker Compiler has not yet been written. As with many projects it is neccesary to realise the full format and workability of the existing system before writing a compiler.
