Title: Noise Tracker by Jörg Rosenthal
Post by: ComSoft6128 on 16:28, 29 January 21
As a user this is a 1st class program but I don't have a creative musical bone in my body - would anyone from the CPC music community care to comment on this PD offering from 1989?

Excellent 128K only German music program - a WIMP interface adds an extra finish to the experience - this could easily have been a commercial program.
In this video I display the German manual using the Protext Rom , Run the program and play one track - "Big In Japan" which starts at 4:06

Never used it, but from what I hear, it is vastly inferior to BSC's Soundtrakker (released two years later though), or even Equinoxe. But could have been a match to already existing software... But no export to use the music!!

I actually used it for a while, before I wrote Soundtrakker. Some of the tunes (conversions from old Amiga tunes) in BSC Megademo were made using Noise Tracker.
I think I also hacked some kind of save-function into it so I could actually use those tunes
outside of the tracker. Then I sent them to WEEE! who converted them into a stand-alone module.

So was WEEE! using this tracker along with his own player?

I don't think he used Noise Tracker for that. AFAIK he had his own tool for that.
