Rosegarden VS OpenMPT

Give a try to Ardour, LMMS, MusE and Rosegarden. Source: 11 months ago

As far as the basics of notation and sequencing, there aren't many 'simple' ones left, but if your focus is notation then RoseGarden is a classic. The SQ-2 has a built-in sequencer that might be easier to use than software. Source: about 1 year ago

Rosegarden is free open source software and there is a Windows version. I can confirm that it records velocity and the information is preserved when exported to MIDI for import into Ableton Live. Source: about 2 years ago

It's probably overkill but I've used Rosegarden for this - open the SMF0 MIDI file in that, then export as MIDI and it'll be SMF1. Source: about 2 years ago

Rosegarden can export to LilyPond or PDF (converted from LilyPond export). It's also pretty good, but harder to learn than MuseScore. Source: almost 3 years ago

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: 10 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
