Hi, All !

RED Limited Drunkards Group
are pleased to again present to your attention
Extreme's Tracker v2.0 (test release)

some characteristics:

Positions - 100
Patterns - 56
Speed - 1..31
Temp - 32..depends on the speed of the computer
Volume - 0..15
Number of samples - 32
Memory for samples - 64..960 Kb (depending on the computer)
Mixing frequency - 10 Kz and higher
Number of effects - 24
Channels - 4
Pattern length - 1..64
Octave - 1..5
Sample length - 16..65280 bytes

Now in more detail:

The editor supports almost all MOD effects, except:
Set Finetune - a very rare command (never seen it)
Filter
Invert Loop

The Pattern Break command is not fully implemented - the parameter for
effect, due to the storage of patterns packed.

It is possible to set volume and effect simultaneously
(in MODs volume was considered an effect)

Supported effects will be written about in the full version
In the test release there is no recording of music text on disk, the interface is not
designed, only Soundrive is supported so far, also
not yetCache memory and automatic reading of
samples are supported, so load them manually (the last character in the name of a sample means the number in HEX where to load).

In general, this version was released so that there were no questions about whether we were still alive or not.
our answer is ALIVE and will LIVE!!!! Soon you will see
test release DOS to DOS Copy v3.0 with a beautiful interface and
full mouse support + a ton of new features.

that's all for now.
Yes, this product comes with a converter from MODs to ET
v2.0 So for now, listen to the MODs.

I would like to hear from you feedback on the work of this software, especially on work
on different machines, and most importantly, check the sound of music on different machines,
modes, etc. in comparison with the original (we don’t have a PC or Amiga on the same table
with Specky).
Suggestions and suggestions are also accepted (smart :))

Anything you want to say about this, write to me.

PS: Everything was tested on the ZS Scorpion256 and Pentagon512Turbo and, strangely enough, it worked :)

P.S.: Here I am a little myself tested - music converter likes to spoil the first file in the
directory => be careful! I warned you! ;)

P.P.S.: BASIC loaders are writtenin one minute (beta no matter what), that’s why
reviews like why everything is not formatted in the normal way are not accepted :)

With a big “hello”, ARC.
