Lamplight Tracker released today!

Here's the features, as of v1.0


:: features ::

Drag and drop sample loading

Tracker-style sample sequencing -- trigger samples and control volume, pan, pitch and other parameters straight from a sequencer grid

Dynamic sample and parameter sequencing -- easily change sample order and parameters even while sequences are playing

Dynamic non-linear sequence routing -- create and re-route the ordering of sequences as they are playing

Waveform editing -- crop and dynamic looping

Flexible pitch controls -- semitone and record-player-style continuous pitch

Easy MIDI mapping of controls and effects

Effects chains -- delay, reverb, distortion, ring mod, and more -- each sample can be individually assigned to an effects channel -- up to 26 separate effects channels, plus master effects

In-built Recording

Save/Load all sequence, sample and effect settings

The Lamplight Tracker is a simple grid-based sample sequencer -- reminiscent of classic tracker software. During my development of the as-yet-unfinished Open Sequence, and due to a few key interface difficulties it presented, I revisited the simplicities and potentials of the grid-based tracker, and decided that there is still great value in developing a (relatively) simple interface for this medium.

In a basic sense it can be used for sequencing sample loops, and thus generating new raw materials for sampling, but potentially full pieces of music could be made in it also.

It will be ready for you here by the end of April, if not earlier
