Modern Day Mod Trackers

- I recently posted a video of a remix I made using VividTracker for iPad. I got a lot of questions about trackers so I decided to make this short video explaining limited experience with this oldskool method of producing rave music.
A hell of a lot of techno, rave and even hip hop records of the late 80s and early 90's were made in Octamed on an Amiga. It was the most accessible sampler and sequencer of that time.
And pretty much the only choise at the time! If they were released now with all the amazing DAWs around no one would ever use one...
I'm not sure - there's a company making hardware trackers that seem to be generating a fair bit of interest
@@NathanChisholm041Renoise proves you wrong.
There's still a community of people making music for tracker programs! While it's not something HUGE these days, it's still present.
Back in the late 80's, I used to make sound collage pieces with tapes. In the early 90's, I got my first PC and discovered a tracker called, "ModEdit". I immediately saw the potential in it, and used it for creating all kinds of crazy things. I was never into house music, which was what most people seemed to use the trackers for. But I WAS into early 80's industrial music, like Skinny Puppy, Throbbing Gristle, Einsturzende Neubouten, early Ministry, Front Line Assembly, Godflesh, and Controlled Bleeding. I used that tracker as, pretty much a wall of samplers. I would record anything that would make a good drum sound (smashing trash cans, dumpsters, anything hittable), and I would make this amazing early 80's sounding industrial music with it. I even used it as a drummer/synth/strange sample section for the band I eventually formed. I still love using trackers today. My favorite, right now, is OpenMPT. However, I do kind of miss the GUI of Modedit, and have never seen something like it ever again. Modedit had an awesome Piano-Roll style GUI that made it really easy to see what was going on in a song part at a glance. No one ever made another Piano-Roll style tracker ever again. Even today, for some reason, when I mention "Piano Roll" to the tracker community, they tend to react to the idea with hostility. I've never understood why.
interesting
\o/
Openmpt is the blender of trackers. Open source (ie COMPLETELY FREE FOREVER with absolutely no downsides), really powerful with in-depth features, can do as much as some proprietary software, but the biggest downside is trying to learn it is like blasting your face with a pressure washer while trying to climb a mountain with both your legs broken
i tried making a track in openmpt.. do i have to open the edit thing for every note??
Exactly how I started writing music. Would happily go back to that and writing some old skool.
Hi Barry.... Try looking into the Vampire-V4 board that will come out. Else you can get Amiga500's at a somewhat decent price. Then get a scandoubler, a Gotek drive and get a laser upgrade for the mouse. There are internal IDE adaptors as well, so you can use a CF card as HDD. You can bring an Amiga500 into a modern age and era with a few addons and upgrades. And then you can write music on protracker again.
Both as a modern DAW user and a former user of Scream Tracker 3 and Impulse Tracker I can say that once you get accustomed to the workflow, you'd produce music much faster with a tracker compared to a DAW.
No synths, no vsi's, no effects, so you waste no time on any of those, you only have your sample library and that's it.
There were so many commands for parameters. Even after tracking for years, I never mastered them all. Before I quit (due to losing all of my work in a HDD failure), I was just getting around to pitch-bending. That allowed you to create some amazing sounds, like acid basslines and such.
I've given up properly for years now, mate. Had a brief creative spark some time ago (maybe around 6-7 years), when I remembered my details for the PC v.1 MED SoundStudio. But I struggled so badly to make anything worthwhile that sounded even close to my original lost tracks.
That deflated me completely and I never recovered from the loss.
These days I've found solace in the music that others create and lose myself in that instead. It sounds sad, but I don't think I have the mental capacity to try anymore lol.
@@kevinflemming1982 not sad man just shifting interests and priorities
One of the best ways to learn what trackers are capable of is to load in some classic tracker modules available online. You can see all the tricks musicians used to use to maximise the capabilities of the format's limitations. Everything from hardcoded simulated delays to chiptune arps, employed to evoke the sense of polyphonic chords just on a single note channel.
I'm a Japanese composer.Thank you for the best video. It will be a mod practice.
All you need now is a time machine and then you can become a platinum selling producer. Great work
don't you mean PLUTONIUM? ;-)

which tracker work in now days that could be used on windows 11 ? i remember that on pc i could have many tracks.. on amiga i thing most was 8 on octamed, but on ps i think something like 32.. it was around 2000 :D
what is now a good choose?
@@vatrenikrug Renoise is popular and also includes classic DAW features.
I miss trackers I was using them in 2011-2013 I'd love to get back into them.
Once you get used to trackers its the most streamlined way to produce music.
Just start using them again
Still listening to MOD’s since 1992. Amiga 1000!
Limitation can force creativity.
Totally agree.
Thumped up before I even watched. Mods, trackers and their creators deserve the love they put in creating the scene.
I found using trackers way easier than things like Cubase & Fruity Loops. I remember I tried Cakewalk and LMMS, I was CLUELESS! but I'm a wizard on OpenMPT and Famitracker. I even have use tracker for the Atari ST that that lets me use samples and the sid voice, i just like to muck about with sometimes.
I still use version 4 of OctaMED. To be honest I never stopped using it.
Greetings 📢
Hexadecimal is really nerdy but it's easy to explain. In regular math if you count from 0 to 9 it's a single-digit number, and then add one, you get a two digit number, 10. You could rewrite a number like 15 as ( 1 * 10 ) + ( 5 * 1 ), with 10 and 1 helping us add each of the digits in a multiple-digit number. This is called a base-10 number system.
Let's switch to history. A long time ago, we had analog computers, which could measure and tell you how much electricity was flowing through it. But like, this sucked, because this was really unreliable, as electricity can kinda fluctuate. Computers had to be really simple, back then.
We switched to digital computers, which generally only tells you if the electricity is on or off in any particular wire or electrical part. There's obviously still stuff like capacitors but generally everything was on or off. Just two states. This was super reliable, so we could make smarter computers, but the tradeoff was that we had to make a new number system based on the on/off states, since you can't count to ten when an on/off switch can only count to, uh, 1 (0 and 1).
So the new numbering system is called base-2, or binary. In base-2, if you count beyond 1 (0, 1, ..?), you need a second wire whose purpose is to help add the next digit. So in other words, in binary, the number two is a multiple-digit number, "10". You can go to three, "11", and then you need a new wire for four ("100").
Scientists were eventually working with really big binary numbers with like sixteen digits and they were like, "My goddamn hand is cramping." So they programmed the computer to take what's called hexadecimal numbers and translate that into binary. They did this for decimal, as well. Programmers use both for specific advantages that we don't need to talk about.
In Hexadecimal math, the exact same idea is applied just like in decimal and binary. I will reiterate that when you tell a computer something in hexadecimal, it's still using the wires and it's still binary, but it is translating your hexadecimal input so that it can work with your newfangled number system. Hexadecimal counts from 0 to 15, but it uses letters instead of those bigger numbers to keep it as a single-digit number. So in regular math we have ten, but in hexadecimal we use "A", and keep going. 3F would be ( 3 * 16 ) + ( F (aka 15) * 1 ).
You could have just said that hex is
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F
It works like decimal numbers as in you go from 1 to F like you would go from 1 to 9, and going further uses two digits like decimal numbers so
16 (dec) = 10 (hex)
Supposing F is the 9 of the hex way of counting
Dude, we already know. If you can tell me how to count in a base higher than 36 I'll listen.
@@vapourmile You can count in any base the same way, provided that you have enough characters to use. I suppose you thought of the 36 limit as "numbers + 26 letters of the alphabet" but don't forget we have lowercase/uppecase letters too. For example common base-64 uses all of the above and +/ for the missing two digits (you can see it action in any youtube video's URL, the end part is a similarly base-64 encoded number).
There are a couple more symbols in the ascii character set that could be used if you wanted to go higher, and with UTF-8 becoming the new standard, the sky is the limit.
Just think they used to do this on a Commodore Amiga with, at best, a few megs of ram! Insane what they achieved at the time and I agree with that statement that limitations inspire greater creativity.
I started playing around with mod tracker on an Amiga A500 with 256kb ram.
Few megs?? 512k
Ya exactly, Venetian Snares comes to mind
@@xnetpc Amiga 500 would have been 512 k at least.
Stuart Dawson You’re correct. It came with 512K and I doubled it to a meg later.
Jeskola Buzz. No I used to use modplug tracker, which was very effective. Amiga was 8 bit which was just not good enough.
That was a nostalgia kick! I spent months with a program called Octamed (earlier version was just called MED) which had 8 tracks and midi support. Those were the days lol. Recently bought a Raspberry pi and plan to get an Amiga emulator working. Hoping that Octamed is still out there. That's if work allows me the free time :(
Octamed v4/v5 was the best tracker for Amiga. Support for midi and soundcards. You could also make a pattern and mix it to a sample (for example make a drumloop or chords) and would not need to waste channels.
I used also octamed with midi gear... I did many productions in but my best known in the 90ties was lost tracks shum....
Metalhead here..... However, I feel priveledged to have seen and experienced trackers on Amiga's. Way back in 1990 or 1991. Possible as early as 1989. And yes. It was totally underground. Nobody I spoke with in the late 90's knew what a tracker was.
But everyone I knew that used Amiga as their hobby between 1988 and 1994, knew about trackers and used them for playing Mod files.
Making music with trackers was much fun back in the day. I used a Windows based tracker though called ModPlug Tracker (iirc). Even had a track that some bloke picked up to be played in some UK clubs. It was a treat for a scrawny Swedish kid who just fiddled away in the basement.
That is what OpenMPT is, they changed a bit the name and added features
What I used to do, was load in a picture as sample. The AMIGA did not care about the file format. So the picture came in as noise, and then I just added drums and other stuff on it. :)
Scream Tracker 3 and Fast Tracker 2 was what I used. Really interesting development was the Jeskola Buzz which had the tracker format as the sequencer but featured software synths. Edit: These trackers featured multiple channels and instrument options like loop, volume curves etc. But it was sometimes fun to do a challenge to limit yourself to 4 channels, number of samples and file size. Remembering that Amiga player two tracks on the left channel and two track on the right. So if you wanted a loud bass drum you had to put it on two tracks.
oh yeah, Buzz, It was a bit like Sunvox now, I noticed. modular using a tracker
A friend gave me modplug tracker on floppy in 1998. It changed my life
I used to use the original Commodore Amiga trackers that this is based upon back in the day (late 80s), like Soundtracker, Noisetracker, Protracker, MED, etc. We would often combine certain samples together like the kick, snare and hats to free up other channels for other instrumental elements like bass, pads, leads, keys, vocals, etc.
Similarly, basic chords were often sampled so that it could be played back at various pitches using only one of the 4 available channels. Later on, there were trackers like OctaMED and FastTracker which used various methods to allow more than just 4 simultaneous tracks.
There were loads of Public Domain disks available at the time featuring tracker sample libraries and also Music demos and rippers which allowed you to listen to and also extract the music created by other users, either from music demos or even commercial games, whose music was created with tracker software.
And today, I have in my hands a Polyend Tracker. Trackers are awesome!
The precision & control of trackers in terms of programming drum parts is v interesting. V key to the sound of a lot of early dance music and still used today by some
you are the first I have run across to explain this simple and well! Now I KNOW what a tracker is! It is a computer version of a old skool drum machine or step sequencer like: TR808,TR909,DR110,Korg POLY 800,Yamaha RM1x,etc. Or like a very limited version of: FL STUDIO... Yep! Now I KNOW why my Yamaha AN200 and DX200 rhythm section is so limited! Why the Korg Volcas and Arturia Steps are so limited! 16 step per patterns! WOW that is sucky and limited!! So in essence, for musical beats to be meaningful we need a minimum of 64 steps per pattern, to have any kind of full rhythm with some variations in it, before repeating.. got it :-)
What great memories !
I used to compose dozens of tracks back then on the Amiga.
And then came trackers with 8 tracks such as oktalyzer which kinda revolutionized the trackers world...
I did this, back in 1988/89, I used an AMiga drum program called`A-Drum` and figured out that I could use loops sampled using my crude Amiga sampler dongle instead of the drum samples and then mess with them so they`d loop in tempo, I also used a simple 4 channel AMiga sequencer to write the original musical synth parts and then around 89/90 I`d borrow my friends AMiga and wire a joystick as common between both Amigas so that they would start at the same time and I could record the track at home or in a small local demo studio. Later I got an Atari ST, Akai s950 etc ......
can`t say that I`d wanna go back and do it like that again though myself, would rather stick to my Beatstep Pro step sequencer, Korg Electribe or Pro Tools on the PC
I used Player Pro tracker for Mac
Aphex twin too
Hexadecimal numbers are just numbers in base 16, so your "parameter value" is from #$00 to #$ff, which is #00 to #255 decimal, giving one 256 possible values.
Modtrackers where my way into making music, even if I started in the late nineties. I've been wanting to get back into them for years now, so thank you for giving me an in. I think I would still be mega fast writing the commands. I miss how easy and fast it was to do all kinds of pitchbend and stutter effects compared to now, where I have to click around with a mouse. I don't miss that 8bit sound though, if I'm honest
Me and a mate had a studio in the loft comprising of an amiga for samples and cubase on an ST driving a rack synth. Manually synced.
We even played out on that setup, rave and bigbeat set. 1996.
Epic memories.
I just downloaded this last night. Started using but its tough lol. I'm use to using Ableton Live and or other software sequencers. Its fun though. Looking forward to watching all of your video!!
Ceephax Acid Crew and Max Tundra are two high profile (ish) artists who use mod trackers on Amiga to make some absolutely amazing music. Max Tundra hasn't put anything out in quiet a while but his last album from 2008 is a masterpiece of weird prog-pop. Ceephax/Ceephax Acid Crew is Squarepusher's little brother and uses a mixture of Amigas with mod tracking and CV stuff to control a bunch of early 80s Roland hardware. It's incredible and well worth checking out. Some INCREDIBLE stuff still being made (at least in part) with trackers out there!
def recommend checking out the song "lights" by max tundra, he references his amiga in it lol
I used to make music in ScreamTracker, FastTracker and others, even played at some techno parties
'Limitations can cause creativity'....... - so true!
I went from Fast Tracker 2 to Reason. I swear Fast Tracker could add extra channels.
Same route for me, first FT2, then later Reason (and nowadays Cubase). FastTracker 2 had 32 channels as did Scream Tracker III. Impulse Tracker had 64 channels or might've had even more. Can't quite remember anymore. :) One friend of mine still makes all his tracks in Impulse Tracker with an old PC. :)
Module files in general can adjust speed and/or tempo. One of these would adjust how long a tick is, and the other says how many ticks each row in the pattern lasts.
Side-effect of adding more ticks to each row, effects you enable iterates for more steps. Examples are pitch up/down and portamento (note slide) commands.
Yey! a clip of Music-X, very highly underrated music sequencer for the Amiga..
I just covered "time" by Hans Zimmer on Renoise-Tracker :)
For a professional producing you can go with Renoise - a modern tracker-like DAW with all the bells and whistles that is quite satisfying to work with. Otherwise, FastTracker 2 is the most friendlies of old school trackers in my opinion although it runs on msdos only (dosbox to the rescue). However, for modern OSes there's is a ft2 clone, you can get it on 16-bits.org .
If you increase the number next to the “steps” button, it can speed up you note input by skipping by the number you put in. So if you set it to 4, you can just rapidly press the kick 4 times and get a 4x4 pattern
Video was made 2 years ago, currently we have on the market hardware tracker from Polyend.
Buzz Machines (old build) for me.
3rd generation Tracker with soft-studio capabilities....works for Square Pusher, James Holden, Oliver Lieb.....
The biggest user nowadays that uses a tracker I’m aware of is Blue Stahli. Some videos of him were shown using Renoise.
To be honest these days I use renoise, but there's something to be said about the simplicity of older trackers.
The unique programming style of trackers, does give your music a distinct groove. I could imagine it being of interest to trap/rnb producers, with the trend of heavily programmed drums and minimal musical arrangement... however, it's 2020, and trackers imo,are of no use other than curiosity, not that curiosity in of itself a bad thing, but trackers have one limitation (of many) that makes them pointless in 2020... Workflow. If you love working with spreadsheets, you'll love trackers... if like me, you have a busy life, and need a music interface that turns your ideas into music in minutes, not years... Modern DAWs are not trackers, and that system of making music was joyfully abandoned by dance producers at the earlier opportunity, for good reason. I make music, not nostalgia.
I remember using ScreamTracker 3 as a kid. So much fun.
Thank you for this video! Trackers are so interesting...
I've tried to get a bit more into modern software like FruityLoops, Cubase and Ableton etc, but I guess after spending so many years in the mod scene from the late 80s until the late 90s I just really struggle with doing it any other way.. well except just plain notation.
Hah, I had that Urban Shakedown issue of Amiga Format.
Protracker was my tool in the 90s. Greetings dax/ravebusters. :)
There are also ModPlug Tracker and OpenMPT which both still get maintained (i.e. they run in Windows 10) and new versions every now and then.
I used a Amiga 500, 500+, 600 and 1200 and protracker software. Interesting to know that they build a standalone hardware version of it lately
You really know your shit. Amazing skills right there!
I started using openmpt, and ho boy, running serum on it makes it sound like how I'd make music on fl studio, and ngl, I'm not going back to fls this is way simpler and faster to make music in.
Looks like there's a hardware tracker, called Polyend Tracker.
As well as MOD plugin for daws OpenMPT.
honestly i both regret having learned to use a tracker and also simultaneously embrace it. on one hand, the specific program i use (schismtracker which is basically a windows-compatible clone of impulse tracker) is more of a gimmick these days but on the other hand i feel like i get bragging rights for pushing past the limitations of these programs and constantly improving my works with every song
tldr god i fucking love trackers
Awesome video
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️UNREAL TOURNAMENT⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
EPIC Games in general... think about Epic Pinball or Jazz Jackrabbit. Why? Because EPIC people came from Demoscene, like Remedy and DICE.
I use Famitracker to make authentic NES chiptunes and I've become so used to trackers that it's hard to wrap my mind around modern DAWS
you said that trackers can be very difficult if you are used to modern daws.
I believe this 100%, but as someone who is not already used to those, I'll say that I find trackers way more straightforward and approachable than modern production software, which I have tried several times before and can't get into. To me trackers feel easier and more practical, for any kind of music. Just like music notation, being able to work in a setup dictated by time and with every effect programmed row by row, I like the whole concept of it much more than combining several modes of audio (midi, raw waveform) with no predesigned management of instruments or tempo.
Imagine the early 90s without MOD/XM/S3M/IT etc. but just General Midi and OPL3 FM Synth ... would have been a sad time.
charly says always tell your mommy before you go off somewhere
Two known music actrusts got passed off about a third voice being added to sone music track. They are never suppose to call again.
Fast Tracker 2 was the shit!
"Rome was not built in one day" 😅
Amiga Tracker Crew here. Octa MED hehe
Jeskola Buzz for lyfe
Polyend tracker looks cool!
I was using MODPlug Tracker.
Modplug is awesome. I want to get back into Trackers
does it compress the sound to give it that old 90s (8bit?) sound?
tnx for the insperation
Yeah, something like Cubase did exist in the nineties. It was called CUBASE! Eye roll at all the kids who think the world started the year they were born, and that their generation invented computers, video games, the internet, and cell phones.
iFad? Here's one that works on a regular bog-standard PC: *MilkyTracker* milkytracker.titandemo.org/ It's also compatible with Amiga *.mod tracks.
I am JMD and approve this message ^^
I used Octamed on the Amiga 600 back then! I was able to use 16 tracks with 16 MIDI channels! It was fun! I lost the floppy with my creations but I still have some audio.
where is Renoise ? Best tracker of all times, and a DAW wich can compet with other available.
So freaking awesome and cool
Fxx sets and can change song speed AND tempo(BPM) SEPARATELY., So then, The former side of Fxx = (F )01 to (F)1F is setting song speed (ticks)
And then, the latter side of Fxx = (F)20 to (F)FF is setting the BPM
(ALL NEW PROJECTS ARE SET TO A DEFUALT SONG SPEED OF F 06 AND 125 BPM(CANT REMEMBER THE HEXIDECIMAL FOR 125 BPM THOUGH) both song speed AND BPM are operating separately AT THE SAME TIME. If that makes sense? Both are working on the timing in separate ways)
The reason there is a separate speed adjustment I have figured so far is that you can speed up sections of the song but keep the overall tempo the same. So for EXAMPLE; you can set speed F 04 for four lines then change it back to F 06 on the 5th line (to bring it back to the original speed) so you can basically use (tick) speed as an effect.
Hope this helps.
P.s. I use Milky Tracker, but I'm sure what I've said applies exactly the same on VividTracker .
Also an important note to understand Hexidecimal; it goes, 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F (so 16 steps) but also, having the letters allows us to expand the combinations and amount of commands as opposed to 1 though 16. There's more we can do with 1 through F with the limited space we have on our trackers.
Hope this now makes sense! :)
I feel like you probably figured this out by now but you can set your step length so if you want to put in a quick four to the floor, you can set it to go down by 3 steps each time and just bang it out, instead of manually moving down that many steps for every beat. I'm going to guess it's the STEPS parameter right below SAMPL although I'm not 100% on that.
Is there a way to change tracker midi to modern music by changing instruments?
sounds good but not the same with the drums. maybe the software has 8 bit emulation or not? the drums don't sound as crushed as I remember they used to be, although some tracks were cleaner. it's weird how all the limitations of the day came together to make it all work.
Just what I needed..
Milky tracker on Android is the business, not as basic and easy to use I guess as VividTracker but connect a keyboard and mouse (yes you can do that on Android with a OTG cable or Bluetooth) and you get the a really good tracker!
Whoa, I've been tracking for 30 years and had no idea MOD was used to make club hits. Do you have any more info on early dance producers using Amigas?
In the Dutch hardcore scene there were some that used the Amiga and put out vinyl. The best known of them is neophyte. They made one ep with the name protracker ep. All their early work was made with the Amiga
Hardsequencer also had that 8 bit sound.
I’ve made a tutorial for the mod format and Protracker. There is a brief explanation of the F command and also an in-depth episode called ticks and timing explaining a bit more about the speed/tempo thing. ua-cam.com/play/PLVoRT-Mqwas9gvmCRtOusCQSKNQNf6lTc.html Cheers!
I use FastTracker 2 mainly!
started with FT2 in 1998, amazing piece of software.
Remember me an Amiga Octamed Pro!!
I loved and still do love octamed on the amiga. The full screen version. Not so into the one with stuff in different windows found that a bit fidly.
Octamed was the best IMHO. Spent many hours with that. So many fun memories lol
I loved OctaMED! but the last version was the best overall OctaMED Soundstudio which had AHI with 14 bit output and 16 bit render (with 128 channels?)... was awesome.
But I do remember the original OctaMED, 8 channels but with lower quality (it did have a max sampling rate of 8 Khz? or something but with 8 channel mixing)...
MOD and DEMO Amiga Scene 👍
I was there back in Amiga octamed days!
caustic .. if you want mostly enjoyable and quick fun
YEAH!!!
MadTracker 2 😎
Hi, any teacher for Vividsynth?thanks
Give BeepBox a shot for short sketches you can share!
Skale Tracker this tracker with vst and position UI like FastTracker II
Sounds like any of the nice features and speed of use of trackers are rendered useless if your running it on iPad with touchscreen surely ?
Pro tracker and octamed was so great because of the keyboard shortcuts making it so quick to use
yshould try sunvox
