Once you've loaded one, see how long it takes for you to figure out how to play it!

It only loads AM files as it's not a MOD tracker, it's an Ace Tracker. ;)

I think not bringing up the tracker sequence at the bottom just creates a unnecessary and confusing step :roll:

There isn't many AM and there too big to fit on a floppy anyway :(

Annoying thing is I had all this setup previous card somehow already :roll:

Don't I think I am going to be able to test much of it does not fit on a floppy unfortunately.

ACE Tracker doesn't load normal tracker modules because it's not sample-based tracker. It is a DSP-driven soft synth. The instruments are synthesized realtime. That's what is so cool about it and why it sounds so distinctive - not to mention super high quality sound :)

This one is only 60kb unzipped.

BTW those zips from the newbeat site are huge because they also contain MP3 recordings of the .AM files. You don't need those.

The .AM files themselves are tiny

Ok I guess some of them *are* using samples as sounds, or to shape sounds. Still, if you look through them you'll find some small ones that don't have big sample banks.

I just downloaded it from that link and it's 8kb zipped, unpacks to 60kb. o__O

I don't know what is going on there then because that is not what I am seeing...

And hold on I don't think it is downloading that there is so much crap my temp folder now lost the plot what is what now.

Chrome for some reason does not display the download bar any more..something else I've got a brat around looking into at some point :pullhair:

That's the problem when I click the link nothing happens. When I try and save it, Crone says it is a unconfirmed downloadable I don't get the bar at the bottom to actually click confirm on any more..

This is why just get so sick and fed up of software and stuff all the time because stuff is constantly breaking :headbang: :headbang:

Here's the zip:
