Protracker 4.1.2 for the Amiga has many new features, including 32 Channel Support!

US AmiGus Soundcard is Now Supported      15/11/26

A team comprising of Tom Beyer, Oliver Ickler, Haavard Pedersen and Akustikrausch (Andreas Wendorf) have developed and released Protracker version 4.1.2, for all Amigas with 1MB Chip RAM.

You can of course find out more at (https://github.com/akustikrausch/protracker4) but I'd like to use this article to highlight a few notable new features:

  • It is apparently possible to load 16-bit WAV & AIFF files into version 4.1.2, and with built in AmiGUS / AmiGUS mini support - these can be played back in full fidelity, using up to 32 channels!
  • Of course, native Amiga IFF 8SVX & MOD files are supported (though now with 63 instruments per MOD file!) and support standard 4 channel, and CPU-mixed 8 channel modes, with comfortable 28Khz playback on a 68030 processor. AHI is also supported.
  • How to display all those tracks? Well Protracker 4.1.2 supports retargetable graphics cards, a break from Protracker's traditional low-resolution look. Indeed, it will support some very large screens!
  • Despite all of these new features, it is still massively compatible with Protracker 2.3D - a huge amount of testing has confirmed that nearly all modules will play back identically.

 

Anyhow, head over to https://github.com/akustikrausch/protracker4 and grab a copy for yourself.
