Use the vibrato, slide to note, slide up and slide down pattern effect commands.įor longer samples, use the sample offset command to jump to different regions of the sample. Use high BPM, If I remember correctly, when I was using milky I used to always write in double BPM (so if the song should be 140BPM I would use 280, or 560) for faster, more impressive sounding, LGPT table - like arps and glitchish sequences. Milkytracker is actually frickin awesome, but I switched to Sunvox now because it does everything that milkytracker can and much more.Īlso, just straight up use draw to draw your own waveforms for interesting textures when layered ontop of the standard generated waveforms.make sure the drawn waveforms are the right length in samples (usually 128). much rythmic possibilities.zoom in fully in the envelope editor to see tick by tick.Īlso, resampling is possible in milky by rendering some double / quadruple speed sequence or single pattern with (muchos high speed arps and stuff) to wav.then looping what you have in the sample editor to make a more complicated instrument / interesting sounding when transposed 2 octaves down / up. You can build up interesting rythms by using the envelope section as an Lfo.you might have the same waveform over many instruments in which the envelopes are different looping lengths.all together they make one awesome instrument.(use them all in one track / channel). In milkytracker you only have 3 notes per arp command while some of the chord structures above have 4 or even five notes, so say you wanted to use a 6add9 chord you might start with 047, then on the following lines do 049, then 0,4,14 and so on.in hexadecimal (the way i wrote the chords above is just, number of half steps / semitones up from the base note)Īs for milktrackers envelope section, its basically a crude custom LFO for amplitude and panning.just remember that milkytracker is set to 6 ticks per line by default so dont make the mistake of spacing your envelope points in multiples of 4 ticks only (use multiples of 3, 6, 12 or 24 instead for straight beats, multiples of 4, 8, 16, 32 gives you triplets). I was too young to have owned an amiga, but now i can carry a 486 around in my pocket.In milkytracker, dont forget you have the generate waveform option in the sample editor.you can then use draw to roughen or smooth the waveforms a bit.or use draw to create "noiseish spikes" in your generated SCWF (single cycle waveform), then use the smooth option in the sample editors dropdown menu to round them off.Īlso, in terms of ARP commands the following may be of use to you: All the classics like fasttracker 2, screamtracker 3 etc, you can get off.
#Milkytracker tuning android
or or, you can download one of the Android dosbox ports, magicdosbox is pretty active and has a free version you can try out.or, you can dive down the wild rabbit hole of android amiga emulators and actually get protracker off aminet.MilkyTracker is in their x11-apps repo and will maybe be more stable. If you're *nixy, you can download termux off and a vnc server.A mechanical keyboard it ain't, but) then you can mess around with emulating and using a tracker the way the good lord intended: they've got nice clicky buttons instead of rubber calculator-style ones.
#Milkytracker tuning Bluetooth
That said, if you get yerself a bluetooth keyboard (i recommend rii's mini bluetooth ones. Not a lot of android-native options - trackers are VERY keyboard-centric so the touchscreen is a big disincentive. it's outdated, throws a bunch of errors when you first run it on later versions of Android, but it seems to work normally for me.

#Milkytracker tuning mod
Can't export to MOD or XM though, only to its native SVOX module format. XM modules, but it's as much a modular audio synthesis tool as it is a tracker. Zxtune plays most common module formats and emulates some chip hardware formats like c64's SID and Sega Mega Drive's yamaha YM2612įacepalm, here's me not reading properly.
