What the heck is AON ? I bet you already might have noticed, that this program is a kind of music tracker. But it is not yet ANOTHER tracker (like the 1001 protracker clones out there) but a real NEW tracker, of course completely new coded (no protracker source used!!). I tried to improve the old protracker format (which is surely antiquated already since ages..) and to create a new tracker, which should be the DREAM TRACKER for all amiga musicians.. (and all who want to become one ;)). I think I should give you a short summary of the new possibilities that AON offers you: - OS2.0 look! no hardware hacking like in protracker - Reqtools filerequesters - CPU or copper viewmode split (for pattern-display) (cpu needs more rasttime, but is more system-friendly) - More instruments!! (up to 61!!) (1-9,a-z,A-Z) - More patterns (up to 128) (if you demand more, just tell me!) - More song-sequences (Song-Length now up to 256) - Restart-Position <>0 possible - nice sequence-list editor - new songlist-edit short cuts - More player-commands !! (increased to max. 62, 46 are already in use!) - Arpeggio (up to 16) + Any other effect possible each arpeggio can have up to 7 partnotes, arpeggio speed is of course changeable - wavetable-commands - syndrums-commands - new effects like vibrato&volume set/slide etc.. - external program SYNCHRONISATION commands (demos/games and other presentations (easy to use for e.g. multimedia productions, which shall be timed with the soundtrack) - 8 channel control commands - More notes ;) !!! Highest note is now B-5 !! - Maximal instrument play-length up to 256k, waveform size only limited to free memory!! - Cool new sampler with lots of new effects (digital filter, flanger/phase distortion/multi-sampling+triggering etc.. - REAL 8 CHANNEL-MODE, *ALL* effects are usable on splitted channels, that includes loops as well as FULL VOLUME&PITCH control !!! - mix-rate up to 64khz!!! - Volume-Envelopes for SAMPLES(!!!) and WAVETABLE INSTRUMENTS(!) - Wavetable-Instruments !! ('synthetic' mode) - SAVES really A LOT OF MEMORY - no disturbing white noise, just crystal clear sound - Instrument&Waveform are seperated, so that e.g. 10 instruments can use the same waveform (very useful!) - saves memory - create new sound-fx by using different instruments which still use the same waveform!! - FM-Synthesizer - 2 operators to create cool filter-like sounds! - drumsequencer - create your own drumlines with up to 16 tracks - mixed in 16bit for optimal quality ! - selectable pitch & sequence-length - Song-Remark can be detached to every song-module - up to 32k (even for small novels ;) ) - Instrument names now up to 32 chars - easy instrument-selecting from the pull-down menu (just click on the name !) or press amiga+(instr.nr) - Disable not-needed-song-info saving (like remark/instrument names etc.. - saves memory (about 3-36k) - Protracker-(load format)-compatibility, all key-shortcuts in AON are just the same as in protracker (+ ofcourse a lot of new shortcuts) - module-crunch - powerpacker - STONECRACKER (the best (fastest+most efficient) cruncher around!) - memory usage e.g. for patterns is the same as in protracker, although there are many many new improvements !! - many new pattern-edit commands ! - exchange tracks/patterns - change volume - wildstar-replace (like in any texteditor!!!!) - player is easy to include in own productions (saves player+mod files and executables ) - for the interested guys: The fileformat is MUCH better than protracker (well, it wasn't so hard to improve THAT format) - Chunk-format (like e.g. IFF) - easy to expand (future versions...) There are is also a huge amount of more detail-improvemements, which are nevertheless very useful when composing music. Just load the preview and check it...
