Seriously one of the most underrated channels on YT right now. Thank you for your advice!

[janhorky]

Definitely SunVox. Not only tracker but also excelent synth.

[GeorgeLocke]

Perfect timing, my dude. I've been trying to convince myself that buying one of those was a bad idea....

[tablaninja]

I LOVE my M8. Would gladly spend every penny again. I always have it with me and have created so many tracks since I got it. The developer deserves my hard earned dollars 100%!

you can also run the M8 headless version for free!

And if you like trackers, try Renoise which is a full featured tracker for today's musician. It really puts some of the more popular DAWs to shame by having immense control over samples and automation. Advance users can write scripts/plugins for it as well. Best of all, it will not break the bank at USD 75. Great for beginners and advance tracker-heads.

Thank you again for great options! What about covering the excellent and free SunVox?

[Polyend]

Great video! Love your approach to teachin people!

[willemdajones]

The best eye opener reviews on youtube.. in my opinion.

[digitalspecter]

In Milkytracker one instrument can have 16 samples associated to it. You can't layer the samples but if you open the instrument editor and then click the "edit" button next to the piano keyboard you can associate different samples to different keys/notes by selecting the sample and dragging mouse over the piano keyboard.

Thanks! Impulse Tracker and Fast Tracker were my first music production software in early 90x.

[gregbarnes]

I have the Polyend tracker and it was a major throwback to when I used trackers on my AtariST. I wanted a polyend tracker to get as far away from my computer as possible when writing but I agree. It’s not for everyone!

[New_Zealand_Music]

I really enjoy your videos thank you and your sense of humour is great. I hope you're well. Hello from New Zealand

Renoise is great even as a freeware. Paid version adds ASIO support and wave export, you can save and load projects even on the free version.

That song in the beginning you made is 🔥

[JobimSynthMusic]

a trip down memory lane, I began composing with fast tracker 2 back in 2000, my most complex arrangements are from that early period, then I turned to a Vangelis/Schulze style of layered keyboard playing over programmed beats and sequences. but I've been feeling the pull of the tracker again. digitakt is my tool for now but no chaining, no song mode, is very annoying, I'm stuck in loop mode with it. I don't like using the computer to compose but the hardware solutions are too expensive. maybe what I need is a nice ergonomic setup to go back to using the computer for new projects.

[jayrose]

add my vote to the bag of “SunVox” videos too please! also i just checked out the podcast you were on with simon the magpie and analog and i just wanted to say that i definitely think you should try out your take on “bad gear” where you talk about the flaws of certain gear! hearing your take on the workflow and performance issues of hardware would be a great watch, especially for someone who does that for a living! keep up the good work. I’ve really have been enjoying all that you do!

Milky tracker runs on ARM boards like the raspberry pi. It can be used to create a device like the polyend if one is inclined to DIY.

[dimiturvelev]

Hey, love your content! I just want to mention something - there is a thing called Headless M8. It's a free software version of the M8 but you have to put it on a PCB (Teeensy 4.1). So it's a afortable DIY M8 that you can use on a computer (both MAC and Windows). It's something like 30-40$.

Bless you.
Back in 1995 we used a souped up Amiga 2000 to produce Drumfunk in our Studio. Octamed efficiency sending midi data to a series of Akai samplers and synths running through a Mackie desk. Beautiful work flow for our particular genre. Drum chopping is in my opinion is rather stimulating using Trackers.
