  • RIP Raster/C.P.U.

    Extremely sad news from Pouet tonight:

    Radek Št?rba aka Raster died on 28th July 2011 in a train accident. He was great man (I know people usually say that but I _really_ mean it) and good friend of mine. Always supportive and kind.He was also extremely talented, he made infamous Raster Tracker and loads of other Atari related stuff (games, demos, music,…) Rest in peace :(

    More info about him and the accident can be found here

    When I first got into chipmusic, the Atari Pokey chip was always a favorite of mine, and it is due in large part to his work on the wonderful Windows tracker. I only spoke to him a few times in asking about the application, but he was always kind and ready to answer questions and consider features. He may be gone, but hopefully his voice will live on in the songs and projects that come out of his wonderful programs. He will truly be missed, and TCTD extends its sincere condolences to his friends and family.

  • Milkytracker 0.90.85 for Caanoo

    A nice surprise this Wednesday night: Milkytracker, the well known XM tracker has appeared for the Gamepark Caanoo console, and among the interesting features, it has:

    – Full touchscreen support
    – Button+Joystick support
    – USB KEYBOARD support (mice untested)

    Other than that, they say it’s “just like the PocketPC version”.

    Give it a try downloading it from here.

  • Deflemask Tracker adds Genesis support


    It was about time we get an alternative for Megadrive/Genesis musicmaking :D

    New kid on the block Delek has been, for some time now, working on adding YM2612 and SN76489 PSG support to his tracker Deflemask, which before supported only the Y759 FM chip (found in many cellphones). The efforts of this young chipmusic enthusiast are coming to fruition very soon.

    This is a cool new alternative for Sega Genesis tracking, since Delek is a very dedicated kid who is listening a lot to people input about his tracker,something all of us interested in Sega Genesis music making will appreciate I bet. Work is also being done about “exporting to real hardware” aspects of this whole deal, usually the hardest part.

    You can be happy about something else too: your feature suggestions and bug reports will not be greeted anymore with a disgruntled answer ;)

    Release will be online soon, so I tease you with a screenshot only for now.
    Here’s a video of Deflemask in action though, in its previous version (Y759 soundchip)
