Plans for Audio Creation/Tracker?

Hey Tony,

I really like the engine so far. The libraries are great and even the aesthetics are on point. The only thing I feel is missing is some kind of a program for music/sfx generation. Are there any plans to implement this or is it already available and I somehow overlooked it?


Thank you!

Developer

Hi Dear Jared,

Thanks for the words! I’m glad you like it.

The audio backend reads and plays pre-made audio files, it doesn’t synthesize at runtime, so something like a built-in tracker would not happen. However it supports .mod, .mid, etc files on some platforms, so a music/sfx generator would be an alternative, if you would not mind using an external software.

Another approach would be writing a tracker in Lua as a regular Bitty program, someone from the community had done it once, but his site seems to be down at the moment: https://retro-bruno.fr/bitty-engine-retro-tracker/, I’ll ask him for a backup in the Discord server.

Sincerely, Tony

Thank you for your response. An external app, built in Bitty would be excellent! Please let me know if you are able to find the tracker.
