This will be a web-based MOD tracker with a touch-friendly interface. Currently it's very unfinished!
This shares a name with a previous project I attempted -- this new iteration of ChromaTracker is more limited in scope.
The design is inspired by Alexander Zolotov's apps SunVox and PixiTracker, as well as MilkyTracker.
Currently implemented:
- Custom MOD playback engine, mostly complete
- Supports MOD extensions like extra channels, panning effects, and expanded frequency limits
- Pattern editor with touch keyboard, built-in effect documentation
- Sample editor with basic audio effects, 8-bit dithering, recording
- Full undo support
- Render to WAV
- "Time travel" -- the onscreen playback position accounts for audio latency, so it matches what you're currently hearing, even with a high-latency Bluetooth connection
- Persistent local file storage
- Supports mobile browsers and PWA installation
You can try the current alpha build at tracker.chroma.zone. It works best when it's installed as a PWA, see these instructions.
Includes demo tracks from modarchive.org.
TODO:
The UI is currently optimized for small screens and does not scale very well. MOD compatibility still needs work. Many features are still missing, see issues.
