About

klystrack is a tracker for making C64/NES/Amiga-style chiptunes on a modern platform.

Here are some features:

Sound

• Additive synthesis with filters (think SID, Atari, NES etc.)
• Hard sync and ring modulation (like SID)
• FM synthesis (think Adlib, MSX, OPL2 etc.)
• Wavetable for samples or custom waveforms to be used in synthesis (think Amiga, SNES)
• Built-in wave generator and editor
• Programmable instruments not limited to simple arpeggios

Sequencer

• Tracker with free positioning of patterns
• Pattern transpose
• Pattern length is not fixed
• Hard limit of 32 channels but this can be raised (just ask if you need more... sounds crazy, though)
• Fully themeable, includes half dozen themes

Effects

• Stereo chorus
• SNES-style multitap echo
• Bit crusher/decimator

Export

• Own custom format with a tiny playback library to be used in games, demos etc.
• Export as .WAV
• Export each track as separate .WAV's
• Export wavetable items as .WAV's (use klystrack to create one-cycle waveforms)

Import

• Import .WAV's to use as samples
• Import Protracker and FT2 modules
• Import C64 SID files (Rob Hubbard player)
