About
RASTER Music Tracker (short RMT) is a cross-platform tool for making Atari XL/XE music on a Windows PC. RMT uses the Atari XL/XE music routines created by Radek Štěrba from 2002 to 2009. It was a small revolution for all Atari musicians and fans.
RMT's main features are:
- 4-channel mono or 8-channel stereo mode
- Frame editor: can support up to 256 lines, with 254 different tracks
- Instrument editor that can support up to 64 instruments. Includes settings for vibrato, volume slide and filter. Has an envelope table for volume, distortion, filter and portamento/pitch changing. Has a separate table for arpeggios/ornaments.
- Can import .mod and Theta Music Composer .tmc files. Exports to .sap, .xex and .asm. You can also save instruments (.rti)
- Allows separate speeds for instruments and song.
- Midi support
- 8-channel mode allows for stereo SAP's to be produced (4 left panning channels, and 4 right). Note that for major battles, 8-channel SAP's are forbidden from the SAP category, due to stereo SAP being a hacked feature only exclusive to RMT. Instead, BotBr's should use either the Wild Card category, or if available, the SAPx2 category.
