Goattracker Download ((HOT))
Andrew Henson
There are four types of table in goattracker, most function sort of like an assembly routine - the speed table is a little different - but each is designed for a different purpose, to keep the interface a little cleaner. Each of the four tables will just be a long string of operators and arguments - commands and values for those commands to use - and your instruments will contain parameters to jump to these routines that you create. If you think of these tables as little programs that you write to alter values of the SID register you wouldn't be wrong.
You might also want to look at a reference chart showing the various registers of the SID chip. There are 29 registers in the SID chip and while goattracker abstracts some of these - you won't have to manually input the frequencies for each channel, you can simply write musical note values - it might help you in understanding how the chip makes sounds.
Necro-update: since practicing with lsdj and maybe when I used klystrack, the goattrack manual I have makes a hell of a lot more sense. Now I can begin the experimentation phase
What do you do to insert though if your only machine is a laptop with a numpad insert key and goattracker refuses to see your insert key?
