OpenMPT VS Furnace Tracker

The bottom of the page says it's on The Mod Archive. What format is the song in? If it's still in its original modular format (as opposed to rendered to MP3 or WAV) you should be able to open it in OpenMPT and save the samples from there. Source: 11 months ago

The software that is used to make the music is (likely) OpenMPT, which is a software I use quite often for making Tracker Music. Tracker music is a really fun form of music software to work with if you don't know how music notes work but do know how computers work. If you want an example of how Tracker Music sounds, check out Dues Ex's title theme, which was composed entirely with a older tracker. Source: about 1 year ago

There is also a type of app that is more sophisticated than Audio Selection Sequencer2, but simpler than a typical DAW sequencer. The type of application that I'm thinking of is called a "Tracker". Music Trackers were very popular back in the '90's, but their popularity has declined considerably since DAWs became common on PCs. One of the few music trackers that still exists is OpenMPT https://openmpt.org/. Source: about 1 year ago

When making mockups I typically use OpenMPT. With the 8-tap Sinc Resampler: Kaizer Window Filter at 72%(?) bandwidth. Didn't test it extensively for accuracy but it outputs a warm sound not unlike the SNES, bass becomes "plastic" in a similar fashion. For echo I just use the default Direct X Audio Effects Echo plugin but it's inaccurate. Another thing with OpenMPT is it has a decent sample editor so you can work... Source: over 1 year ago

My music theory teacher mentioned that in the days before 12 equal that G# and Ab were not the same pitch. IIRC he said that G# was lower than Ab. That was enough to send me down the microtonal Alice in Wonderland rabbit hole once years later I got my hands on something that could let me explore tuning other than 12 equal - and that was a music tracker. This is one that survives to this day and now has native... Source: over 1 year ago

I recently came across https://github.com/tildearrow/furnace Super impressive tracker for many different 8 bit synth chips. As a personal project I'm also embarking on a 4x AY-3-8910 chip synthnall hooked up to as esp32-s3. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

If you haven't heard of it, there's another cool tracker making great strides right now, Furnace: https://github.com/tildearrow/furnace Allows you to compose tunes on several chips / platforms in the one song. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

Maybe you also just want “generic old console sound” but I’m going to try to be more on target here. This is a fairly new, standalone software environment with support for emulating many different classic sound chips. I’m not sure exactly how it works in SNES mode and it may not be that user friendly if you’re used to a DAW but it at least claims to have an SNES mode and it’s free. Source: over 1 year ago

My favorite tracker in my opinion is Furnace. It supports many systems, from the PC speaker to to the most recent FM soundcards. It also has a customizable interface and is fully DefleMask compatible. It's completely free too! Link to Furnace Tracker. Source: over 1 year ago
