1,535 bytes added, 12:38, 5 August 2006
'''Digitracker''' was the first music program for the Amstrad CPC, which was based on digital instruments (samples) instead of [[PSG]] (chip) sound. Out of wave tables it mixed three 7 bit channels into one 4 or 8 bit channel, which has been output via the CPCs' internal PSG or the [[Digiblaster]] (printer port) DAC-extension.

== Technical facts ==

* 64512 bytes free for samples
* 34 pattern (when pattern-lenght is set to 64)
* 16667 herz 8 bit sampleoutput (Digiblaster)
* 14493 herz 4 bit sampleoutput (Soundchip)
* 96 Songpositions
* 8 Bit-Digiblaster support for high-quality sound
* mostly Amiga-Protracker-effekt compatible, 17 effects (slides, vibratos, arpeggios, position-loops, sample-offset)
* sample-editor (echo, mix, smooth...)
* powerfull playerroutine, any startposition, interrupts possible (demos are possible, too), colorequalizer, equalizing rasterbar and more
* comfortable uniformity standard-user-desktop

== Program modules ==

* main-module, ''Digitracker'' itself. In here you can edit or create new MDLs (modules).
* ''MOD-Converter'', which converts Amiga-Protracker-MODs to Digitracker-format, sample (Amiga, PC...) and CPC-MOD transfer is possible, too
- The ''Playercode-Generator'', which creates an external player-routine for Digitracker-modules
