Pandora Porting Chibitracker To Pandora

[reduz]

Hi! I'm the author of ChibiTracker, ( http://www.chibitracker.com ) a popular Open Source music composing app.
I'd love to be able to port this application to the Pandora, so users would have a nice portable tool for making music on the go. ChibiTracker is highly portable and has been got to run on every operatign system around as well as on the NintendoDS, and it's highly optimized to run great even on very low end hardware (pentium 133).

So, what should I do to aquire one of these machines for development?

Thanks!

With great difficulty

Probably the best way is hope he'll read your post. He has very little time to answer email and pm's at the moment, so your best of waiting until closer to the release time frame.

You're right, Pandora will be awesome for trackers. Music making is one of the main reasons I want one. I'm currently working on a reconfigurable interface for the pandora for sending MIDI/OSC commands for use with music and VJ apps. I can't wait to be VJing wirelessly! I already made some VJ remote control software for my mobile phone, but being able to have a device with the power of Pandora will be great.

What would be good is if when you port it, you have some kind of network sync function so you can link it to another pandora that will control a VJ application (I suppose even MIDI sync will do, but even better than that would be sending out a sync for each channel in the tracker)

I'm getting too excited and way ahead of myself

Hey Ruan,

Is chibitracker really available on DS ? I've tried to see if there was any download but couldn't find any

Cheers,
Marc.

Great a Sequencer for the Pandora!!!

That'll probably be for manipulating sample based instruments

chibitracker is pure classic tracker, meaning it only has multi-sample single layer instruments with filtering. no other forms of synthesis im afraid.
but, its quite easy to find sizable collections of decent quality samples on the net (high quality ones are rather more difficult to find, but they are out there).

You'd be surprised how much "synthesis" you can do from samples already. BTW, if any of you owns a GP2x and is not aware of it, check http://www.littlegptracker.com and some of it's results @ http://www.hexawe.net

I have seen this tracker.. I think I test it some time soon!

Other Idea, a Synthesizer on the Pandora was great too B)

I'm just about to release V1.0. If you want to try it, make sure you get the ghetto version rather than the stable 0.52a, there's millions more feature in there and it's very stable

 

[Snu]

no, i dont think i would be suprised. yes, i have written a song using nothing but the basic subtractive synth waveforms and a tracker with filters (and a few drums)... sortof a manual synthesis.
also, technically, trackers are wavetable synthesis.

Nice! I will try it out

Aww... cmon i want a ds chibi running. Itd be fun.

The piggy is a superb tracker btw and should really be getting a lot more attention. Ive owned loads of synths, sequencers etc and am a long time tracker geek but im finding myself spending more and more time just with ltgp. Get on it!
